Abstract: Systems and methods for performing flash updates during runtime are discussed. More particularly, the amount of secure memory required to prevent tampering during the update process is limited by storing hashes of logical blocks of the update image in secure memory after initial validation while storing the update image in non-secure RAM or another non-secure memory location. Additionally, disruptions to the computing platform are limited by dividing the logical blocks into smaller progress units to minimize the amount of time spent in the secure operating environment performing the update.

Abstract: A method and system for finding vulnerabilities in a program using fuzzing have been provided. The disclosure provides a vulnerability detection framework using a language agnostic single fuzzer that can fuzz smart contracts written in different programming languages. The idea here is that a smart contract written in a high-level language is converted/compiled into an LLVM intermediate representation (LLVM IR) code and then perform the fuzzing on this LLVM IR code instead of fuzzing smart contract source code directly. The process of generating fuzz driver, report driver is automated by handling the standardization issue by carefully dividing the smart contracts into categories. The present disclosure is proposing processes of automation of fuzz or report driver generation. Further the language agnostic feature (done with intermediate representation) is also achieved. Further profiling is achieved which processes fuzzer output and generates meaningful data points.

Abstract: A machine learning computing system identifies a vulnerability associated with a server. Based on information associated with the server and a knowledge base, the computing system schedules an interval for patching the server in a centralized tracking module. Based on the knowledge base and the vulnerability, the computing system creates, validates, and deploys the patch job. During patch job execution, the computing system monitors the status of the patch job at the server and transmits status updates to a user interface module. After expiration of the interval, the computing system generates an assessment report for the executed patch job. The computing system updates the knowledge base based on the assessment report to improve future decisioning processes. Based on the success or failure of the patch job, the computing system, upon a failure indication, automatically reschedules an interval for patching the server.
