  • Patent number: 12353598
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to preserving the privacy of users and preventing access to information of other entities. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a client device, a content request including request signals specifying user group identifiers that each identify a user group that includes a user of the client device. One or more user group identifiers that satisfy a first k-anonymity process are identified. Selection parameter elements that each include data indicating a respective digital component and a selection parameter for the respective digital component are received from one or more first content platforms. At least a portion of the selection parameters and, for each selection parameter, data identifying the first content platform from which the selection parameter was received are transmitted to a second content platform. Data specifying a given first content platform selected based on the selection parameters is received from the second content platform.

  • Patent number: 12339963
    Abstract: In some examples, a storage system intercepts a write request communicated over a network from a requester in a host system, the write request to write data of a data volume. The storage system determines whether the data of the write request matches a specified pattern. In response to determining that the data of the write request does not match the specified pattern, the storage system indicates that the write request from the requester in the host system has been corrupted by malware that has performed an unauthorized encryption on the data.

  • Patent number: 12335400
    Abstract: A set of distance measurable encrypted feature vectors can be derived from any biometric data and/or physical or logical user behavioral data, and then using an associated deep neural network (“DNN”) on the output (i.e., biometric feature vector and/or behavioral feature vectors, etc.) an authentication system can determine matches or execute searches on encrypted data. Behavioral or biometric encrypted feature vectors can be stored and/or used in conjunction with respective classifications, or in subsequent comparisons without fear of compromising the original data. In various embodiments, the original behavioral and/or biometric data is discarded responsive to generating the encrypted vectors. In another embodiment, distance measurable or homomorphic encryption enables computations and comparisons on cypher-text without decryption of the encrypted feature vectors. Security of such privacy enabled embeddings can be increased by implementing an assurance factor (e.g.

  • Patent number: 12316603
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remote command access in a hybrid cloud to on-premises devices are described. An example method includes receiving, by a gateway service, a request for a connection between a remote support service agent and an on-premises device. The method further includes receiving, by the gateway service, consent from an authorized user associated with the on-premises device. The method further includes creating, by the gateway service, a first session with the on-premises device, where a scope of the consent is limited to the first session. The method further includes provisioning, by the gateway service, a device-specific hybrid connection endpoint for the first session. The method further includes forming, by the gateway service a secure session by binding the device-specific hybrid connection endpoint with a second session, the secure session allowing for transport of data and a set of commands based on a scope of the consent.

  • Patent number: 12292999
    Abstract: A tokenization system receives a request for data anonymization, the request referencing structured data containing values of interest. Responsively, the tokenization system performs a tokenization operation on the structured data, generates a corresponding token, and replaces a value of interest with the corresponding token to produce an anonymized version of the structured data. The tokenization system stores the value of interest with the corresponding token in a secure data vault. Subsequently, the tokenization system may receive a request for revealing the anonymized version of the structured data containing the corresponding token. In response, the tokenization system can perform a reveal operation on the anonymized version of the structured data by querying the secure data vault for the corresponding token and retrieving the value of interest from the secure data vault using the corresponding token.

  • Patent number: 12273457
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a processing architecture that maintains a separate logic pathway corresponding to a first operation type and a second operation type, until a blockchain operation is submitted to the blockchain network using either the first operation type or a second operation type. Following submission of the blockchain operation to the blockchain network, the architecture collapses the parallel logic pathways to a single logical pathway for both types.

  • Patent number: 12250537
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for communications are described. A device or a group of devices may generate data. The group of devices may receive a group profile from a node that identifies the devices to be included, and the group profile may include a function to be evaluated at each of the devices. The node may also provision evaluation parameters which may allow the device to provide authenticated aggregate data to a requesting third party, without sharing the data between the devices, thus concurrently maintaining individual data privacy and data provenance.

  • Patent number: 12235982
    Abstract: An example method for monitoring volume dependencies for security threats comprises: detecting a request to perform an operation with respect to a volume included in a plurality of volumes included in a storage system; determining, based on a dependency mapping that specifies dependencies between the plurality of volumes, that performance of the operation would affect a dependency between the volume and one or more other volumes included in the plurality of volumes; and determining, based on the determining that the performance of the operation would affect the dependency between the volume and the one or more other volumes, that the request is possibly associated with a security threat against data stored by the storage system.

  • Patent number: 12229303
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing erasure requests are provided, namely requests from users to have their user data erased from a system. The system maintains user data in multiple components which may not be in communication with each other. With the provided system, certain entities, referred to herein as erasure control entities, are informed of details of received erasure requests, and are given the opportunity to provide input on whether they should be executed or note. For example, one erasure control entity, such as a credit card server, may not want an erasure request executed for a user with a large outstanding debt, while another erasure control entity, such as a legal component, may be unaware of this and may not be concerned with the erasure request being executed. The system and method ensure that erasure requests are not executed in situations that are premature or inappropriate.

  • Patent number: 12210846
    Abstract: Unicode data can be protected in a distributed tokenization environment. Data to be tokenized can be accessed or received by a security server, which instantiates a number of tokenization pipelines for parallel tokenization of the data. Unicode token tables are accessed by the security server, and each tokenization pipeline uses the accessed token tables to tokenization a portion of the data. Each tokenization pipeline performs a set of encoding or tokenization operations in parallel and based at least in part on a value received from another tokenization pipeline. The outputs of the tokenization pipelines are combined, producing tokenized data, which can be provided to a remote computing system for storage or processing.

  • Patent number: 12184662
    Abstract: An identity profile of a user is tracked using previous message communications of the user. A message identified as potentially from the user is received. The identity profile of the user is identified and obtained. Information is extracted from a header of the received message. A security risk assessment of the received message is determined at least in part by comparing the extracted information with one or more corresponding entries of the identity profile of the user. A security action is performed based on the determined security risk assessment.
