  • Patent number: 12058136
    Abstract: A system and method for securely sharing metadata among virtualized network functions (VNFs) disposed within a cluster of host computers includes a distributed forwarding and metadata sharing (DFMS) framework that forwards received data packets and provides remote direct memory access (RDMA) enabled sharing of secured metadata among the VNFs from more than one host computer in the cluster of host computers, and a DFMS controller that resides in the cluster of host computers as a VNF and registers VNFs in the cluster to at least one group of VNFs in the cluster and assigns access rights to the metadata of VNFs within respective groups of VNFs in the cluster. In operation, each registered VNF in a group in the cluster uses RDMA requests to access the metadata for other registered VNFs in the group in the cluster to which the each registered VNF in the group has access rights.

  • Patent number: 12047501
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cryptographic protocol, and a system for implementing said protocol, for providing overt ledger secured key escrow access to encrypted data. The invention uses a plurality of trustee systems, each holding a secret share of a secret, to validate requests for the secret from authorised third parties. When a valid request is made, each trustee system publishes its secret share to a ledger. The secret shares can be combined to reveal the encryption key only by the authorised third party. Requests for the encryption key, and the responses by the trustee systems, can be accessed by the owner of the encryption key to identify the requesting third party and to have proof that the key has been revealed to the third party.

  • Patent number: 12039068
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.

  • Patent number: 12039019
    Abstract: A computing system for securely managing access to resources of a computing device receives an input at a secure login of a user interface. The computing system compares the input to a plurality of stored security measures and activates one of an operating system or a configuration of a false desktop system. A user interface of the false desktop system shares characteristics with a user interface of an operating system and restricts access to specified files, data stores, applications, networking functions, and/or ports associated with the computing system. When configured, the false desktop system or the operating system is enabled based on the location of the computing system. When configured, the false desktop system deletes files, data stores, and applications of the operating system.

  • Patent number: 12032666
    Abstract: Before or after a first-type authentication has been completed, disclosed devices, systems, and methods may conduct a second-type authentication to authenticate a user such that the user can log into a secure device and/or access secure content. An example system may cause a wearable device to activate a biosensor, which extends along a full internal circumference of the wearable device when worn, to detect at least a first sEMG signal on the user's skin responsive to the user performing a first gesture. The system may also generate or receive a first user signature based on the first sEMG signal and determine whether the first user signature matches stored authentication training data. In response to determining that there is a match, the system may complete the second-type authentication to authenticate the user.

  • Patent number: 11995171
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing access to credentials. In some examples, an electronic device authorizes release of credentials for use in an operation for which authorization is required. In some examples, an electronic device causes display of one or more steps to be taken to enable an input device for user input. In some examples, an electronic device disambiguates between commands to change the account that is actively logged-in on the device and commands to cause credentials to be released from the secure element.

  • Patent number: 11983286
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing are described. Some database systems may implement data processing permits to manage data access. A database system may use encryption schemes to tie permits to data (e.g., cryptographically ensuring that the system follows data regulations). To support queries for a database implementing such encryption schemes, the database may implement a proxy. When the system receives a query, the database proxy may intercept and transform the query based on the encryption schema of the database. The database proxy may execute the transformed query at the database, receive encrypted query results in response, and decrypt the results for use by the querying application. Additionally, the system may access relevant data processing permits to support querying operations. For example, the system may use permits when transforming the query, executing the query in the database, preparing query results for the querying application, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11968530
    Abstract: A network may authenticate a user equipment (UE) to access an edge data network. The network generates a first credential based on a second credential, the second credential generated for a procedure between the UE and a cellular network corresponding to the network component, receives an identifier associated with the first credential from a further network component in response to the UE transmitting an application registration request to a server associated with an edge data network and retrieves the first credential based on the identifier. The network also receives a multi-access edge computing (MEC) authorization parameter, verifies the MEC authorization parameter and transmits an authentication verification response to a second network component.
