  • Patent number: 11178161
    Abstract: The system obtains a multimodal dataset containing different types of data gathered during operation of the computer system, wherein the multimodal dataset includes time-series data for different variables associated with operation of the computer system. Next, the system forms a set of feature groups from the multimodal dataset, wherein each feature group comprises variables from the multimodal dataset containing the same type of data. The system then computes a tripoint similarity matrix for each feature group, and aggregates the tripoint similarity matrices for the feature groups to produce a crossmodal tripoint similarity matrix. Next, the system uses the crossmodal tripoint similarity matrix to cluster the multimodal dataset to form a model. The system then performs prognostic-surveillance operations on real-time multimodal data received from the computer system, wherein the prognostic-surveillance operations use the model as a classifier to detect anomalies.

  • Patent number: 11171977
    Abstract: A method for detecting spoofing attacks from network traffic log data is presented. The method includes training a spoofing attack detector with the network traffic log data received from one or more mobile networks by extracting features that are relevant to spoofing attacks for training data, building a first set of vector representations for the network traffic log data, training an anomaly detection model by employing DAGMM, and obtaining learned parameters of DAGMM. The method includes testing the spoofing attack detector with the network traffic log data received from the one or more mobile networks by extracting features that are relevant to spoofing attacks for testing data, building a second set of vector representations for the network traffic log data, obtaining latent representations of the testing data, computing a z-score of the testing data, and creating a spoofing attack alert report listing traffic logs generating z-scores exceeding a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11159500
    Abstract: In some aspects, control circuitry receives, at a content provider server that is associated with a first subscription service, a first authentication key from a content aggregator server that is associated with a second subscription service, prior to the user subscribing to the first subscription service. The control circuitry generates and stores, at the content provider server, the first user account after comparing the first authentication key to acceptable authentication. In response to storing the first user account, the control circuitry receives a request from the content aggregator server to subscribe the user to the first subscription service, wherein the request includes a second authentication key.

  • Patent number: 11157652
    Abstract: A real-time event processing system receives event data containing telemetric data and one or more personal identifiers. The personal identifier in the event data is replaced with an obfuscated value so that the telemetric data may be used without reference to the personal identifier. A reversible map is used to reverse the obfuscated personal identifier to its original value. In the case when a request is received to delete the mapped personal identifier, the link to the entry in the reversible map is broken by associating the personal identifier with a different obfuscated value.

  • Patent number: 11115430
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for testing a target device. A fuzzer and a monitor are connected to the target device via a tactical bus. The fuzzer records messages sent from a source device to the target device over the tactical bus, creates a first fuzzed message having a data structure of the recorded message, and sends the first fuzzed message to the target device over the tactical bus. A fuzzer monitor monitors the target device for an anomalous response to the first fuzzed message, and determines a vulnerability of the target device from the response to the first fuzzed message.

  • Patent number: 11115384
    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: 11074333
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication with resistance to replay attacks are provided. A device may be used to capture image data of a physical token to authenticate or identify a user. Authentication information may be obtained by processing and analyzing the captured image data. Data about a state of the imaging device and the captured image data may be used for fraud detection. The data may be collected when the image data is processed and analyzed. The state of the imaging device and captured image data are unlikely to be repeated. The detected repetition of a state of the imaging device and captured image data may be a cause for increasing the likelihood that a replay attack is taking place. The device may be used to perform a transaction.
