  • Patent number: 11727132
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for content management systems. The techniques of the methods, systems and/or computer program products automatically determine activity-based content object access permissions and/or make a recommendation of activity-based content object access permissions. A machine learning model is formed from observations of user interactions over a plurality of content objects. The model is continually updated based on ongoing observation and analysis of user interaction events. When a collaborative relationship is formed between an invitor and one or more invitees, the activity-based permissions model is accessed to determine a set of access permissions to assign to the collaborative relationship. A single collaborative relationship may cover many collaboration objects. In some cases, a set of access permissions are automatically assigned to the collaborative relationship. In other cases, a set of access permissions is presented to the invitor as a recommendation.

  • Patent number: 11706197
    Abstract: A walled garden system includes a firewall controlling access between a first network and a second network at least by allowing connection requests originating from a user device on the first network to a destination IP address on the second network in response to determining that the destination IP address matches a cleared IP address on a cleared IP addresses list. A controller receives a domain name service (DNS) reply from a DNS server on the second network, and determines whether a domain name specified within the DNS reply matches a cleared domain name on a cleared domain names list. In response to determining that the domain name specified within the DNS reply matches the cleared domain name on the cleared domain names list, the controller adds a resolved IP address specified in the DNS reply to the cleared IP addresses list as a new cleared IP address.

  • Patent number: 11657168
    Abstract: A system for detecting data leakage is disclosed. The system intercepts web traffic data, de-duplicates the web traffic data, and extracts data elements from the web traffic data. The system further groups the data elements into multiple clusters based on data types associated with the data elements. The system then identifies data elements in a cluster that were previously sent to a user and identifies allowed data elements from an allow table that are supposed to be sent to the user. The system determines whether there is a data leakage by determining whether the identified data elements in the cluster comprises at least one data element that is not in the identified allowed data elements in the allow table.

  • Patent number: 11574039
    Abstract: A system and method for authenticating users of a digital device includes an authentication device attached to an authorized user. The authentication device includes one or more motion sensors and acts as a user identity token. To authenticate with a digital device, the user performs one or more interactions with the digital device using the hand associated with the authentication device. The digital device correlates the inputs received due to the interactions with the user's hand and/or wrist movement, as measured by the authentication device. Access to the digital device is allowed if the inputs and movements are correlated.

  • Patent number: 11550885
    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: 11496502
    Abstract: Disclosed is an operation method for a dynamic analyzer for analyzing an execution state of a web application. The present invention comprises the steps of: analyzing an execution state of the web application on the basis of a final attack string including a parameter which indicates a particular operation to be executed through the web application; and performing an analysis of the execution state of the web application, wherein the final attack string is generated so as to avoid filtering logic which is designed to filter a raw attack string including a predefined parameter. Therefore, the present invention can detect a security vulnerability, which cannot be detected by the existing dynamic analyzer, through easy generation of a final attack string capable of bypassing filtering.

  • Patent number: 11483706
    Abstract: A wireless network transfers UE information to an authorization server. The authorization server generates an expected result based on a random number and secret key in response to the UE information. The authorization server transfers the expected result and the random number to the wireless network which transfers the random number to the UE. The wireless network receives an authentication result from the UE and authenticates the UE by matching the authentication result to the expected result. In response to network authentication, the wireless network transfers the expected result to a conferencing server. The conferencing server receives the authentication result from the UE and registers the UE by matching the authentication result to the expected result. The conferencing server establishes media conferences for the UE. The wireless network exchanges media for the UE.
