  • Patent number: 10362057
    Abstract: Provided are methods, network devices, and computer-program products for a domain name system (DNS) threat detection engine for analyzing DNS traffic for potential threats. In various implementations, the DNS threat detection engine can include threat profiles that include characteristics of network threats associated with DNS. When a DNS message includes a characteristic associated with a particular threat profile, a remediation rule associated with the threat profile can be used to modify the DNS message, including modifying the destination for the DNS message. When the DNS message is received at the new destination, the DNS message can be analyzed to determine whether the DNS message is associated with a threat to the network.

  • Patent number: 10348698
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for link-based enforcement of routing of communication sessions via authorized media relays. In an embodiment, a media relay receives encrypted first payloads from a first endpoint and encrypted second payloads from a second endpoint as part of a session. The encrypted first payloads require a first key for decryption and the encrypted second payloads requite a second key for decryption. The media relay is preconfigured prior to the session with secrets useable for identifying the first and second keys. The media relay decrypts the first payloads using the first key and decrypts the second payloads using the second key, and transmits the first payloads to the second endpoint and the second payloads to the first endpoint as part of the session.

  • Patent number: 10348724
    Abstract: A system and method for sharing electronic data between participants of a phone conference, such as an online presentation, without a need to exchange passwords to link two devices together for data transfer nor go through a login procedure to access the data resource. To achieve this, the participants use a device or software application that samples the audio of the phone conversation and creates a stream of audio fingerprints. The streams of fingerprints are sent to a matching service on the internet. This matching service finds the fingerprints that correspond to the same conversation among the streams of simultaneous users. Once a match is found with a high enough confidence level, the matching service exchanges identifiers such as public IP addresses and sends those back to the fingerprinting units. When instructed by the user, the units can then proceed to setup a secure data connection.

  • Patent number: 10339334
    Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to an augmented reality Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (“captcha”). Upon determining that a user, operating a user device, is attempting to access a website, a host server can cause a camera on the user device to activate and begin streaming and image feed to the host device across a network. The host device can determine an appropriate augmentation to the image feed that is germane to the context and/or environment of what is being displayed in the image feed. The augmentation can be displayed to the user on a display of the user device. The augmentation can also include a prompt instructing the user how to interact with the augmentation. The host server can determine whether to grant the user access based on the user's interaction with the augmentation.

  • Patent number: 10311250
    Abstract: A system and method for reliably and securely recording and storing all attributes of personal identification, for the identification and authorization of individual identity as well as attributes relating to it and personal data including but not limited to individual's physical description, bank details, travel history, etc. (the “Personally Identifiable Information “PII”). PII can be difficult to manage in networks where correlation between data sources is required. Thus, in some embodiments, the system combines a distributed database to create a framework for a robust security. The system manages the distributed database to associate transactions, or actions, using data, digital signatures, and/or cryptographic keys, which can be unique to an individual.

  • Patent number: 10298401
    Abstract: A network traffic monitoring service provides a way to search network traffic intercepted by a network firewall while protecting the privacy of non-matching network traffic that traverses the firewall. Network traffic is parsed and processed into a set of tokens. In various implementations, the tokens may be words, HTML tags, data values, or other searchable units of information. The tokens are converted into a set of hashes, and the set of hashes is provided to the traffic monitoring service. A search authority submits a search request to the traffic monitoring service. Search terms of the search request are converted to a set of hashes to produce a hashed search request. The traffic monitoring service processes the hashed search request against the set of hashes provided by the network firewall to determine whether the network traffic represented by the set of hashes matches the search request.

  • Patent number: 10291602
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products and methods implementing YARN service protection are described. A reverse proxy in a cluster of computers in a distributed computing system can intercept a request to access a YARN service. The request can be associated with requester credentials. The reverse proxy determines that the request includes a REST API call. The reverse proxy determines, based on authentication configuration information, that the call needs to be authenticated. The reverse proxy authenticates the call based on the requester credentials using an authentication mechanism specified in the configuration information. Upon successful authentication of the call, the reverse proxy makes authorization checks based on specified configuration information. If the authorization checks pass, the reverse proxy forwards the request to a server that provides the YARN service in the cluster. If the authentication or authorization checks fail, the reverse proxy denies the request.

  • Patent number: 10237278
    Abstract: In one implementation, a computer system maintains one or more permissions associated with a credential held by a first user, where at least one of the one or more of permissions is delegatable by the first user to one or more other users. The computer system receives an indication that the first user has chosen to delegate a particular permission from amongst the one or more permissions to a second user, wherein the particular permission is needed to perform a particular type of action. Based on the first user indicating a choice to delegate the particular permission to the second user, the computer system associates the delegation of the particular permission with the second user. Based on delegating the particular permission with the second user, the computer system enables the second user to perform the particular type of action.
