  • Patent number: 12118104
    Abstract: A method of secure data transfer and storage using ae storage device storing encrypted information. The method uses a host that stores and transfers encrypted sensitive information and a customer that desires the information to be securely stored. The customer chooses a unique encryption code to encrypt sensitive information and uploads the information to a host. Then the host transfers the information to the storage device. Connections between the host and customer are intermittent and done so the storage device remains isolated from networks outside of the host.

  • Patent number: 12118874
    Abstract: A total property security system may be implemented to conduct security and surveillance operations. The system includes security operations centers that are connected to one or more sensors and vehicles for collecting and transmitting surveillance data to a database hosted on cloud services. The collected surveillance data is analyzed in order to automatically deploy security measures and/or recommend courses of action using a rules engine that can be configured to client-specific or user-specific security needs. The cloud services can provide a set of application program interface services that can act on the surveillance operations center. Sensor fusion data and other surveillance data can be also transmitted to vetted monitoring service providers on a subscription basis to provide physical security services to the area within the property perimeter. During the subscription period, the selected monitoring service providers can obtain time-based encryption token for accessing surveillance data.

  • Patent number: 12105863
    Abstract: A method, system, and device for using an interface controller to validate and authenticate controller code for a commodity device to be included within a computer system (e.g., a power supply) are provided. In one example, a commodity device controller includes dynamic memory for control software (e.g., control code to control operation of the commodity device) that may be validated (and/or updated) using an interface controller. The interface controller may perform this update/validation at startup (or run-time) to ensure secure control over aspects of the computer device including the commodity device control code. If a security risk is detected it may be mitigated in various ways, including disabling of the commodity device. Control code provided by third-parties (e.g., supplier of commodity device) may be validated and secured using disclosed techniques.

  • Patent number: 12105829
    Abstract: A remote browsing session is initiated between a remote browser client executing on a client device and a remote browser host executing on a remote browser server. The remote browser host receives from the client device, encrypted remote browser data of remote browser data that affects the remote browser session. The remote browser client does not have access to a decryption key for the encrypted remote browser data. The encrypted remote browser data is decrypted to reveal the remote browser data. The remote browser host is configured with the remote browser data. The remote browser host manages updates to the remote browser data during the remote browsing session. Periodically, updates to the remote browser data are encrypted and transmitted to the remote browser client for storage.

  • Patent number: 12069033
    Abstract: A method for processing telegrams in an automation network provides a master subscriber to at least partially encrypt and output telegrams, respectively, to another subscriber. The other subscriber comprises an input port, a receiving logic connected to the input port, a decryption unit connected to the receiving logic, and a processing unit connected to the decryption unit and the receiving logic. The receiving logic is configured, when a telegram at least partially encrypted by the master subscriber is present at the input port, to forward an encrypted portion of the telegram to the decryption unit. The decryption unit is configured to decrypt the encrypted portion of the telegram with a key, and to forward the encrypted portion to the processing unit for processing. If an unencrypted telegram is present at the input port, the receiving logic is configured to forward the unencrypted telegram to the processing unit for processing.

  • Patent number: 12050720
    Abstract: A copy of a blockchain is stored. The stored copy of the blockchain is copied from a blockchain in a distributed blockchain ledger. An event associated with the blockchain in the distributed ledger is identified. In response identifying the event associated with the blockchain in the distributed ledger, a compromise of the blockchain in the distributed ledger is identified, such as, identifying one or more blocks of the blockchain that have been compromised. In a second embodiment, a request to add a new block to a blockchain is identified. In response identifying the request to add the new block to the blockchain, a consensus vote to add the new block to the blockchain is monitored. A determination is made to determine if the consensus vote is below a threshold. In response to the consensus vote being below the threshold, an audit of the blockchain is completed.

  • Patent number: 12047357
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a transparent and adaptable mechanism for performing secure application communications through sidecars. In an example, a set of security features is discovered by a first sidecar of a first microservice of multiple microservices of an application. The set of security features are associated with a device of multiple devices of a set of one or more host systems on which the first microservice is running. Information regarding the set of discovered security features is made available to the other microservices by the first sidecar by sharing the information with a discovery service accessible to all of the microservices. A configuration of a communication channel through which a message is to be transmitted from a second microservice to the first microservice is determined by a second sidecar of the second microservice by issuing a request to the discovery service regarding the first microservice.
