  • Patent number: 11722478
    Abstract: A system and method provide access to a remote resource locally by requesting content from an original address and receiving a first requested content and a first redirect uniform resource locator in response. The first redirect uniform resource locator reroutes the navigation from the original address requested to a redirect destination address that serves an access token. The system and method unlock access to a second application programming interface in response to validating the access token served by the redirect destination address and receives a second requested content and a second redirect uniform resource locator in response to transmitting the access token to the original address. The second redirect uniform resource locator transfers a user to an environment residing at an address different from the original address and the redirect destination address.

  • Patent number: 11711438
    Abstract: Systems and methods for periodically modifying data privacy elements are provided. The systems and methods may identify a set of data privacy elements. A data privacy element can characterizes a feature of a computing device and can be detectable by a network host. A first artificial profile can be generated by modifying a first data privacy element based on an artificial profile model that defines a relationship associated with one or more constraints between the set of data privacy elements. Subsequent to generating the first artificial profile, a second artificial profile can be generated by periodically modifying a second data privacy element in accordance with the relationship defined by the artificial profile model. The computer device can be masked from being identified by the network host by sending the second artificial profile including the second data privacy element to a requested network location.

  • Patent number: 11687681
    Abstract: System and techniques for multi-tenant cryptographic memory isolation are described herein. A multiple key total memory encryption (MKTME) circuitry may receive a read request for encrypted memory. Here, the read request may include an encrypted memory address that itself includes a sequence of keyid bits and physical address bits. The MKTME circuitry may retrieve a keyid-nonce from a key table using the keyid bits. The MKTME circuitry may construct a tweak from the keyid-nonce, the keyid bits, and the physical address bits. The MKTME circuitry may then decrypt data specified by the read request using the tweak and a common key.
