  • Patent number: 11677792
    Abstract: In an attempt to establish a communication session between a first communication entity and a second communication entity, a first message is received. For example, the first message may be a SIP INVITE message. A determination is made, based on a registration message from the first communication entity and/or the second communication entity, that at least one of the first communication entity or the second communication entity is Internet Protocol (IP) version intolerant. In response to determining that the at least one of the first communication entity or the second communication entity is IP version intolerant, one or more IP addresses are adapted in messages (e.g., the SIP INVITE message) for establishing the communication session. The adaption changes/removes the one or more IP addresses to a different IP version to ensure proper IP compatibility.

  • Patent number: 11659001
    Abstract: In some embodiments, identifying a replay attack in an industrial control system of an industrial asset includes receiving a first set of time series data associated with an ambient condition of one or more first monitoring nodes at a first location of the industrial control system. An actual system feature value for the industrial asset is determined based upon the first set of time series data. A second set of time series data indicative of the ambient condition at a second location is received, and a nominal system feature value is determined based upon the second set of time series data. A correlation between the actual feature value and the nominal system feature value is analyzed to determine a correlation result. A request received by the industrial control system is selectively categorized as a replay attack based upon the correlation result.

  • Patent number: 11647074
    Abstract: An exemplary edge compute orchestration system that is communicatively coupled with a set of edge compute nodes in a communication network accesses performance data aggregated by a particular edge compute node of the set. The performance data includes a performance metric and geolocation data detected by a user equipment (UE) device communicatively coupled to the communication network. The edge compute orchestration system integrates the performance data into a geolocation-indexed performance dataset representative of detected performance metrics, indexed by geolocation, for the communication network. Then, based on the geolocation-indexed performance dataset, the edge compute orchestration system selects the particular edge compute node for performance of an edge compute task. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11641346
    Abstract: A data anonymity method and a data anonymity system are provided. The data anonymity method includes the following steps. A data set comprising a plurality of direct-identifiers, a plurality of quasi-identifiers and a plurality of event logs each of which includes an activity and a timestamp is obtained. A content of each of the direct-identifiers is replaced by a pseudonym. The quasi-identifiers are classified, via a group-by algorithm with k-anonymity, as a plurality of equivalence classes. The activities corresponding to each of the direct-identifiers are linked according to the timestamps to obtain a plurality of event sequences. A similarity hierarchy tree is obtained according to a plurality of edit distances among the event sequences. The event sequences are grouped according to the similarity hierarchy tree with k-anonymity to obtain at least one group. The event sequences which are in the group are generalized.
