  • Patent number: 10142330
    Abstract: A computer-based locking system using changing passcodes includes an application server and an application in electronic communication with the application server. The application runs on a computing device. The application may request an input passcode from the application server based on a lock ID. The application server retrieves an algorithm from a database using the lock ID and generates the input passcode using the algorithm with a time as the input. A lock includes a passcode interface and a locking mechanism with the passcode interface being capable of capturing the input passcode. The lock executes the algorithm locally to generate a local passcode based on current time. The lock releases the locking mechanism in response to the input passcode matching the local passcode.

  • Patent number: 10129025
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure provide for binding data to a network in the presence of an entity with revocation capabilities. A cryptographic system is provided that includes a memory to store revocation information comprising a plurality of identifiers and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory. A provisioning public key is recovered in view of a first intermediate public key associated with a client device storing encrypted data. A binding identifier is generated for the client device in view of the provisioning public key. It is determined whether access to the encrypted data associated with the binding identifier is revoked or allowed in view of the revocation information. Responsive to determining that the access is allowed, provide a second intermediate public key to derive an encryption key to access the encrypted data in view of at least the provisioning public key and the first intermediate public key.

  • Patent number: 10129241
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable medium for virtualized computing environments. A method for providing a connection between a guest virtual machine and a service virtual machine uses driver code functions to establish a listening port on the service virtual machine without providing a listening port on the guest virtual machine. The guest virtual machine initiates a remote procedure call socket between itself and the service virtual machine over a secure, hardened port. The service virtual machine presents an authority certificate by encoding into the authority certificate identifying information received from the guest virtual machine. The service virtual machine makes available (e.g., as an ISO image) the authority certificate, which is used to establish new secure connections.

  • Patent number: 10104129
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide confidentiality-based file hosting by automatically directing assets in a shared workspace to appropriate storage locations. The storage location can be determined by comparing a security level that is associated with an asset to security levels of multiple possible storage locations. If a security level of the asset is changed in the shared workspace, the asset is automatically directed to an appropriate storage location based on the changed security level. This can include directing the asset to either a more secure or a less secure storage location.

  • Patent number: 10079831
    Abstract: Qualified web application security based on web application hierarchy is described. A system receives a web application login request from a web browser associated with a user device. The system identifies qualified user information associated with the user device. The system creates an executable file based on applying the qualified user information to a web application hierarchy file comprising hierarchical nodes, wherein each of the hierarchical nodes is associated with a corresponding web application function, at least one corresponding business rule, and a corresponding scope-based security configuration. The system sends the executable file to the web browser, thereby enabling the web browser to apply qualified web application security to requests from the user device for accessing the web application.

  • Patent number: 10079679
    Abstract: Various features described herein may include supervision or control of a cryptographic signal necessary for encryption or decryption. Specifically, key management may be performed, wherein the key is deposited or retrieved to or from a third party. For example, data may be encrypted. The encrypted data may be unencrypted by using a key, which may be stored on a different device (e.g., a server). The different device may perform authenticating a device requesting access to the key, determining a recovery key for the encrypted data, and providing the recovery key for the encrypted data. The recovery key may then be used to recover access to the encrypted data. Thus, the key may be deposited for escrow by the different device until such time that the key is necessary for recovery of the encrypted data, at which time the key may be retrieved for decryption of the encrypted data.

  • Patent number: 10075423
    Abstract: Techniques for provisioning a smart navigation service are presented. The provisioning can be performed by a name owner, by the smart navigation service itself, or by a third-party keyword service. The provisioned information can include an entity name, a keyword, and possibly other data correlated to at least one network locator. The navigation service electronically stores in navigation service persistent memory a rule correlating the entity name, the keyword, and, if used, the other data, to the at least one network locator, such that when the navigation service receives, from a client computer communicatively coupled to the navigation service, command data that includes the entity name, the keyword, and possibly other data, the navigation service responds to the client computer with the at least one network locator.
