  • Patent number: 10516685
    Abstract: In order to detect an attack to a web application accurately by accurately correlating different types of events having occurred in the same server, an event acquiring unit acquires a log of events containing a HTTP request to a server, an event correlator creates a set of the request and events relevant to the request as an event block by using process IDs of processes having processed events contained in the log, and an attack detector contrasts the event block that is created from the log of events in which an attack is to be detected with an event block that is created from normal events to calculate a degree of similarity and, when the degree of similarity is equal to or lower than a threshold, detects the event block as an event block containing an event that is abnormal due to an attack.

  • Patent number: 10505727
    Abstract: Facilitation of management and utilization of domain-specific anonymous customer references (ACRs) for protection of subscriber privacy across different domains is disclosed herein. In one aspect, on receiving user authorization, an ACR services (ACRS) component can generate an ACR that is to be inserted in a communication or message transmitted from a user equipment to an untrusted entity. The ACR can be generated based on address data associated with the untrusted entity and/or a unique subscriber identifier associated with the user equipment. As an example, the ACR creation component can generate the ACR based on a cryptographic hash, a static encryption key, and/or a dynamic encryption key. If the ACR is forwarded to a trusted entity, the trusted entity can calculate the unique subscriber identifier based on evaluating the ACR and/or exchange the ACR for the unique subscriber identifier via a secure communication with the ACRS component.

  • Patent number: 10489577
    Abstract: One or more users (42) are identified based on typing pattern and/or behavior in a computerized system. A typing input is generated by one or more authorized users (42) by touching a touch sensitive input interface (12) at a touch coordinate that is linked to a given interface element displayed by the input interface (12). Collected touch coordinates are processed to generate a typing pattern specific of the authorized users (42), and the user-specific typing pattern is stored in a database (20). Touch coordinates generated by an un-identified user are processed to generate a typing pattern specific of the un-identified user (42), and the typing pattern of the un-identified user (42) is compared with the user-specific typing pattern stored in the database (20). The un-identified user is identified as (42) as one of the authorized users or as a non-authorized user.

  • Patent number: 10484383
    Abstract: A content management system can tag a client installer with an information tag linking the client installer to a user account. The client installer can be configured to install the client-side application on the client device and pass the identification tag to the installed client-side application. The client-side application can transmit the identification tag to the content management system, which can use the identification tag to identify the linked user account and log the client-side application into the user account. The content management system can implement several verification measures such as limiting the number of times and when an identification tag can be used, as well as IP addresses that can use the identification tag. The content management system can also use data cached by the web-browser application to determine if the web-browser application was used to access the user account in the past.

  • Patent number: 10469269
    Abstract: A method operates an arrangement having a substation and a terminal device connected to the substation. The terminal device is equipped with a terminal device certificate and a private key. The certificate enables a signed data transmission, indicates the substation as the certificate issuer, has a signature of the substation and contains a reference to a public key of the terminal device. Following a connection of a control station to the substation, the control station recertifies the public key of the substation by creating a signed certificate for the substation containing the public key of the substation, for the authentication of data which are or are intended to be transmitted from the terminal device to another terminal device. The terminal device certificate indicating the substation as the certificate issuer is transferred to the other terminal device and the certificate verification is carried out based on recertified public key.
