  • Patent number: 12225075
    Abstract: Lease transfer between master and slave replicas is described. A master replicator determines that an initial master replica lease takes effect. On determining that a master replica transfer needs to be performed, sending a transfer preparation message to a target replicator prior to expiration of a current master replica lease. The target replicator locally starts and calculates a new master replica lease and returns a readiness response to the master replicator. The master replicator sends a lease extension message to remaining slave replicators to extend local corresponding leases. After receiving lease extension success responses of a majority of the slave replicators, the master replicator terminates the local master replica lease of the master replicator in advance, and sends a transfer confirmation message to the target replicator. The target replicator validates the new master replica lease to make the target replicator a new master replicator.

  • Patent number: 12200812
    Abstract: A method by a first security edge protection proxy (SEPP) for security edge protection of messages being communicated between first and second communications networks of a communications system. The method receives, from a first network function of the first communications network, a first message containing an address identifying a second network function which is located in the second communications network. The method receives, from a second SEPP operating to protect communications with the second communications network, a second message containing a fully qualified domain name, FQDN, reference for a combination of the second SEPP and the second network function. The method stores the FQDN reference for the combination of the second SEPP and second network function in a label-to-FQDN mapping data structure with a logical association to a substitute locally-unique label, and sends a third message containing the substitute locally-unique label to the first network function.

  • Patent number: 12198214
    Abstract: Secure system and method of detecting and preventing inmate to inmate message relays. A system and method which monitors inmate communications for similar phrases that occur as part of two or more separate inmate messages. These similar phrases may be overlapping in real time as in a conference call or can occur at separate times in separate messages.

  • Patent number: 12190234
    Abstract: An anomaly detection device based on a generative adversarial network architecture, which uses the single-type training data composed of multiple normal signals to train an anomaly detection model. The anomaly detection device includes an encoder, a generator, a discriminator, and a random vector generator. In the training phase of anomaly detection model, the random latent vectors generated by the random vector generator are sequentially input to a generator to generate the synthesized signals with the same dimension as the normal signals. The synthesized signals are sequentially input into a discriminator to output the corresponding discriminant values. When the corresponding discriminant values are under the predetermined threshold, the corresponding synthesized signals are selected as the anomalous class training data, and the real normal signals are selected as the normal class training data.

  • Patent number: 12177233
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information security incident diagnosis system for assisting in detecting whether a target network system has been hacked. First, a plurality of activities records of one or more computing devices in a target network system are collected. Then, a discrete space metric tree is generated according to the plurality of activities records, and a clustering operation is performed on the discrete space metric tree to generate one or more event clusters associated with one or more suspicious event categories. Each event cluster may form a guide tree corresponding to the event cluster through single linkage clustering analysis to indicate a merging order from high to low similarity. The merging order is used for recursively performing a graph generating operation to convert a plurality of activities records corresponding to the one or more event clusters into a hierarchical directed acyclic graph (HDAG).
