  • Patent number: 12177232
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for utilizing machine learning to predict future deceitful domain names and determine preferred security responses. As such, the system allows for use of a machine learning engine to collect new domain name registration information from a plurality of sources and predict future name registrations associated with said sources. A single user may register deceitful domain names through a plurality of domain name registration systems. By collecting data from multiple servers, the system may identify data trends and generate predictions of future domain names independently of any individual server. Thus, the system may benefit a number of entities, by providing real-time data analysis that would not be obtainable by any one entity operating alone.

  • Patent number: 12147573
    Abstract: Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized disclosure is provided. For example, systems, methods, and computer readable storage devices are described that may be operable or configured to tokenize sensitive data attributes that may be included in a data file received from a client. Tokens that are anonymized but representative of the attributes may be generated and mapped to the sensitive data attributes. A tokenized data file may be de-tokenized and re-tokenized to perform processes that require the sensitive data attributes. A document may be transformed to protect the sensitive data attributes while reducing risk of disclosure of the sensitive data.

  • Patent number: 12135808
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing the dissemination of documents using downstream control. A document linking system may facilitate the creation of a document link, graphical document link, and/or a corresponding document token. This link may be distributed downstream via messages, emails, or other applications. The document linking system may track document interactions, trace locations, and/or control individualized downstream access. The document linking system may provide instructions to a document delivery system to integrate a plugin or widget into its corresponding application (e.g., a messaging or email application). A user using the application may select a GUI object to access the document linking system and generate a document link. This link may then be embedded into a message or email and disseminated.

  • Patent number: 12111952
    Abstract: Method, system, and programs provide automatic anonymization of protected data items when a request is associated with authentication via a ticket. Ticket authentication includes sending a ticket to a recipient address. The ticket is included in a request for information. Responsive to receiving a request with a ticket, an example system may determine if the ticket is still valid and, if so, generate mock identifiers for any identifiers in information provided back to the requestor, replace the identifiers with their corresponding mock identifiers, as well as delete any protected information from the information provided back to the requestor. The system may store a mapping of the identifiers with their mock identifiers by session id. These mappings may be deleted after a predetermined time, so that the mapping is valid only for a particular session for a limited time.

  • Patent number: 12063226
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for graph-based multi-stage attack detection in which alerts are displayed in the context of tactics in an attack framework, such as the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The method enables the detection of cybersecurity threats that span multiple users and sessions and provides for the display of threat information in the context of a framework of attack tactics. Alerts spanning an analysis window are grouped into tactic blocks. Each tactic block is associated with an attack tactic and a time window. A graph is created of the tactic blocks, and threat scenarios are identified from independent clusters of directionally connected tactic blocks in the graph. The threat information is presented in the context of a sequence of attack tactics in the attack framework.

  • Patent number: 12047769
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a wireless device may modify a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) generation and attachment operation based on a secret key to support enhanced security. In some examples, a first device may identify a set of data to transmit to a second device and prior to transmitting the set of data, the first device and the second device may obtain a set of key bits for data protection. The first device may generate a bit vector based on a subset of the set of key bits and a cyclic redundancy check polynomial. The transmitting device may then generate an encoded codeword based on the bit vector and transmit the encoded codeword to the second wireless device. The second device may decode the encoded codeword and obtain the set of data based on the set of key bits.

  • Patent number: 12003957
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for distributed network cellular identity management. In particular, a distributed-network cellular-identity-management (DNCIM) server includes a lookup table that stores and relates together a user-equipment (UE) public key associated with a UE private key, a core-network (CN) public key associated with a CN private key, and a subscriber identity. Using the DNCIM server, the UE and an authentication server respectively generate two different (e.g., asymmetric) cipher keys based on the UE private key and the CN public key, and the UE public key and the CN private key. The UE and the authentication server can also authenticate one another by referencing information in the lookup table of the DNCIM server. Using these cipher keys, the UE and the authentication server can establish secure communications with each other.

  • Patent number: 11947706
    Abstract: A tokenization system receives a request for data anonymization, the request referencing unstructured/semi-structured content containing values of interest. The tokenization system performs a tokenization operation on the unstructured/semi-structured content, generates self-describing tokens for the values of interest, each self-describing token having a preconfigured pattern, an indication of a protection strategy, and a token value, and stores the values of interest in a secure data vault. The tokenization system may receive a request to reveal the self-describing tokens in the unstructured/semi-structured content. In response, the tokenization system searches the anonymized version of the unstructured or semi-structured content for the preconfigured pattern, identifies self-describing tokens, uses the self-describing tokens to retrieve the values of interest from the secure data vault, and produces a detokenized version of the unstructured/semi-structured content containing the values of interest.

  • Patent number: 11934559
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments providing coordinated privacy for targeted communications and reporting. In particular, the embodiments provide a source user querying an information system to generally identify target users for a communication campaign. A privacy controller alters a first dataset of a query response by a first alteration quantity for transmission to the source user. The source user then generally identifies target users within the first dataset for development of a communication campaign of targeted communications directed to the target users. Subsequently, a reporting system generates a report with a second dataset detailing viewership by target users. The privacy controller alters a second dataset of a report by a second alteration quantity for transmission to the source user. The second alteration quantity is based on the first alteration quantity.
