Publication number: 20230076694Abstract: A secure translator is described herein for use with an insecure device. An insecure device is a computing device that either does not have the ability to or can no longer communicate at desired security levels. The secure translator is configured to act as a proxy for insecure devices, allowing for full translation of any inbound communication to be secured, with information scrubbed or otherwise manipulated, then translated over a direct connection to the insecure device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: Vigilant IP Holdings LLCInventor: CHRISTOPHER M.

Patent number: 11005866Abstract: A network monitoring “sensor” is built on initial startup by checking the integrity of the bootstrap system and, if it passes, downloading information from which it builds the full system including an encrypted and an unencrypted portion. Later, the sensor sends hashes of files, configurations, and other local information to a data center, which compares the hashes to hashes of known-good versions. If they match, the data center returns information (e.g., a key) that the sensor can use to access the encrypted storage. If they don't, the data center returns information to help remediate the problem, a command to restore some or all of the sensor's programming and data, or a command to wipe the encrypted storage. The encrypted storage stores algorithms and other data for processing information captured from a network, plus the captured/processed data itself.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Vigilant IP Holdings LLCInventors: Christopher M.
