  • Refinement-based security analysis
    Patent number: 8973131
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for assigning, by a computing device, a value to a first data-flow of a first summary associated with a control flow graph and assigning the value to a second data-flow of a second summary associated with the control flow graph. The first data-flow with the value is identified to flow into a type of sink. The second data-flow with the value is identified not to flow into the type of sink. The first summary of a behavior of the first data-flow is refined in response to identifying that the first data-flow does flow into the type of sink. Refinement of the second summary of a behavior of the second data-flow is skipped in response to identifying that the second data-flow does not flow into the type of sink.

  • Look-ahead handling of page faults in I/O operations
    Patent number: 8914458
    Abstract: A method for data transfer includes receiving in an input/output (I/O) operation a first segment of data to be written to a specified virtual address in a host memory. Upon receiving the first segment of the data, it is detected that a first page that contains the specified virtual address is swapped out of the host memory. At least one second page of the host memory is identified, to which a second segment of the data is expected to be written. Responsively to detecting that the first page is swapped out and to identifying the at least one second page, at least the first and second pages are swapped into the host memory. After swapping at least the first and second pages into the host memory, the data are written to the first and second pages.

  • Systems and methods for classifying an unclassified process as a potential trusted process based on dependencies of the unclassified process
    Patent number: 8914888
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for classifying an unclassified process as a potentially trusted process based on dependencies of the unclassified process is described. A component loaded by the unclassified process is identified. A determination is made as to whether a hard dependency exists between the unclassified process and the loaded component. A hard dependency exists if the unclassified process depends on the loaded component in order to execute. The unclassified process is classified as a potentially trusted process if a hard dependency exists between the unclassified process and the loaded component.

  • Encryption device, decryption device, encryption method, decryption method, program, and recording medium
    Patent number: 8897442
    Abstract: In encryption, a random number r is generated to generate a ciphertext C2=M(+)R(r), function values HS(r, C2), a common key K, a ciphertext C(?+1) of the random number r using the common key K, and ciphertexts C(0) and C(?) of the common key K that correspond to function values HS(r, C2). In decryption, a common key K? is decrypted from input ciphertexts C?(0) and C?(?), an input ciphertext C?(?+1) is decrypted by using the common key K? to generate a decrypted value r?, and function values HS(r?, C2?) is generated. If the input ciphertexts C?(0) and C?(?) do not match ciphertexts C?(0) and C?(?) of the common key K? that correspond to the function values HS(r?, C2?), decryption is rejected; if they match, the input ciphertext C2? is decrypted.
