Abstract: Existing approaches to security within network, for instance oneM2M networks, are limited. For example, content might only be protected while the content is in transit between entities that trust each other. Here, the integrity and the confidentiality of content in an M2M network are protected. Such content may be “at rest,” such that the content is stored at a hosting node. Only authorized entities may store and retrieve the data that is stored at the hosting node, and the data may be protected from a confidentiality perspective and an integrity perspective.

Abstract: In an access management system for managing access to data handled on a shared server, the data in a registered folder on the shared server is kept in secret through transform using an access key. A database in the system is configured to store identification information of n shares generated by splitting the access key using threshold secret sharing scheme in association with a data path of a folder assigned to a first user. Some of the shares are retained in the system as system shares and at least one remaining share is provided to the first user as a user share. When an access request is received along with a first user share from the first user, target data recovered using the access key recovered based on a number of shares that satisfies the quorum is deployed to the registered folder.

Abstract: There are disclosed devices, system and methods for detecting malicious scripts received from malicious client side vectors. First, a script received from a client side injection vector and being displayed to a user in a published webpage is detected. The script may have malicious code configured to cause a browser unwanted action without user action. The script is wrapped in a java script (JS) closure and/or stripped of hyper-text markup language (HTML). The script is then executed in a browser sandbox that is capable of activating the unwanted action, displaying execution of the script, and stopping execution of the unwanted action if a security error resulting from the unwanted action is detected. When a security error results from this execution in the sandbox, executing the malicious code is discontinued, displaying the malicious code is discontinued, and execution of the unwanted action is stopped.
