  • Patent number: 11847236
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to a method, system, and programming for encrypted searching. In a search session, a uniform resource locator (URL) is received, wherein a portion of the URL is encrypted via a first key. A second key associated with the first key is obtained. A determination is made regarding whether a time-related criterion associated with the second key is satisfied. In response to the time-related criterion being satisfied, the portion of the URL is decrypted based on the second key to obtain a keyword, one or more search results are obtained based on the keyword, and a webpage including the one or more search results to be provided to a user is generated.

  • Patent number: 11838301
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system and method for predictive identification of breached entities. Identification number and expiration date pairs associated with compromised records in a source file are analyzed to identify a set of candidate entities having records at least partially matching the source file data pairs having events occurring during a selected time period. Probability vectors are calculated for records associated with each identified entity. A divergence value is calculated which represents a distance between probability distribution vectors for each entity and probability distribution vectors for the source file. A predicted breached entity is identified based on the divergence values. The predicted breached entity is notified of the predicted breach. The notification can include an identification of the breached entity, identification of breached records, predicted time of breach, and/or a recommendation to take action to mitigate the predicted breach.

  • Patent number: 11836238
    Abstract: A technique for preventing a man in the middle attack is proposed. A security gate system includes an admission card and a security gate apparatus. The admission card has condition data that is data for specifying a condition to be satisfied when or before or after encrypted authentication data are transferred from the admission card to the security gate apparatus. When a user attempts to enter a building, authentication data including condition data are generated in the admission card 100 (S802), and encrypted into encrypted authentication data (S803). The encrypted authentication data are transmitted from the admission card to the security gate apparatus (S804, S904), and decrypted to be returned to the authentication data (S905). The security gate apparatus performs authentication determination which is a determination as to whether a condition specified by the condition data included in the authentication data is satisfied (S906), and opens a gate plate when a determination result is positive (S907).

  • Patent number: 11816228
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a metadata tweak for channel encryption differentiation are disclosed. A memory controller retrieves a device-unique identifier (ID) from a memory device coupled to a given memory channel slot. The memory controller uses the device-unique ID to generate a tweak value used for encrypting data stored in the device. In one scenario, the device-unique ID is embedded in the address bits of the tweak process. In this way, the memory device can be migrated to a different memory channel since the data can be decrypted independently of the channel. This is possible since the device-unique ID used for the tweak operation is retrieved from the metadata stored locally on the memory device. In one implementation, the memory device is a persistent dual in-line memory module (DIMM). In some implementations, the link between memory controller and memory device is a compute express link (CXL) compliant link.

  • Patent number: 11818175
    Abstract: Access privileges of at least one identity to resources are adjusted within an authorization system of a computing environment. Over a detection period, accesses by the identity to the resources are detected and a usage score is computed as a usage function of a measure of use by the identity of access privilege(s) it has been granted to at least one of the resources relative to a measure of a set of possible grantable privileges. In accordance with a least privilege security policy, and according to the usage score, the set of access privileges granted to the identity may then be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11805101
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel secure method for suppressing address discovery messaging. In some embodiments, the method receives an address discovery record that provides a network address associated with a machine connected to a network. The method then identifies a set of one or more rules for evaluating the received address discovery record to determine whether the address discovery record or its provided network address should be distributed to one or more hosts and/or devices associated with the network. The method then processes the set of rules to determine whether the received address discovery record violates a rule in the set of rules so as to prevent the distribution of its provided network address. When the address discovery record violates a rule, the method discards it in some embodiments.
