Abstract: A user can have media files associated with a user account in a shared resource environment, enabling the user to access those files from multiple devices and locations. Instead of uploading each file, a process can scan the files to determine corresponding copies already stored to the shared resource environment, which can be associated with the user account without uploading another copy. In cases where encryption or other protection prevents the content of a file from being verified, a fingerprint of unencrypted records of the file can be generated and compared against an index of fingerprints for previously encountered files. If the fingerprint matches information stored for a media file, and the fingerprint meets at least one validity criterion, a copy of the media file can be associated with the user account even though the user's copy cannot be read, or potentially even played, by a component of the environment.

Abstract: A system and method for capturing and re-calling an application function. The method of function re-call during anti-virus check includes the following steps: function intercept (capture); anti-virus analysis of the parameters used to call the function; preparing of an application stack for function re-call (when the analysis did not detect any malicious functionality); and calling the function again. The exemplary method can be used with browsers and other applications.

Abstract: A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process includes code to cause the processor to receive a set of indications of allowed behavior associated with an application. The processor is also caused to initiate an instance of the application within a sandbox environment. The processor is further caused to receive, from a monitor module associated with the sandbox environment, a set of indications of actual behavior of the instance of the application in response to initiating the instance of the application within the sandbox environment. The processor is also caused to send an indication associated with an anomalous behavior if at least one indication from the set of indications of actual behavior does not correspond to an indication from the set of indications of allowed behavior.

Abstract: Techniques are described for blocking unidentified encrypted communication sessions. In one embodiment, a device includes an interface to receive a packet, an application identification module to attempt to identify an application associated with the packet, an encryption detection module to determine whether the packet is encrypted when the application identification module is unable to identify an application associated with the packet, and an attack detection module to determine whether the packet is associated with a network attack, to forward the packet when the packet is not associated with a network attack, and to take a response when the packet is associated with a network attack, wherein the encryption detection module sends a message to the attack detection module that indicates whether the packet is encrypted, wherein when the message indicates that packet is encrypted, the attack detection module determines that the packet is associated with a network attack.

Abstract: A communication apparatus may include a reception portion, a decision portion, and a transmission portion. The reception portion may receive a first data request transmitted through a first security level communication, and a second data request transmitted through a second security level communication, the second security level being more secure than the first security level. The decision portion may decide whether a specific data request is the first data request or the second data request. The transmission portion may transmit a specific data to an apparatus that is a transmission source of the specific data request if the specific data request is the second data request, and may transmit different data to the apparatus if the specific data request is the first data request. The different data contains display information for causing the apparatus to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication.

Abstract: The invention relates to a P2P communication method for multi-subscriber networks, which is protected from deception, eavesdropping and hacking, and wherein the communication carried out in an interval is predominantly carried out in separate rooms, allocated to the P2P communication, and with separate reference data allocated to the P2P communication. At least part of the separate random reference data and/or random data is generated in at least one unit that participates in the P2P communication and is exchanged within the P2P communication in the form of relative data. The separate P2P communication is initiated with respect to at least one global random reference date valid for the time of the P2P communication, the random reference date being valid for a randomly determined time range and being stored in all units that carry out the P2P communications in a secret and non-deceivable manner.

The below-operating-system security agent is configured to identify one or more resources for changing filters of the driver, trap an attempted access of the one or more resources that originates from the operational level of the operating system, access one or more security rules to determine whether the attempted access is indicative of malware, and operate at a level below all of the operating systems of the electronic system accessing the one or more resources for changing filters of the driver.

Abstract: Systems and methods that provide secure single sign-on are described herein. When a user provides credentials to a client device, the credentials may be intercepted and cached at a secure location, such as within a trusted environment. When a client process, such as a remote desktop program running on the client device, requests the credentials for single sign-on to a server providing remote desktop services, the credentials may be secured, such as within an opaque container that may be accessed only components running in trusted environments, and provided to the client process. The client process may be running in an untrusted environment, such as an operating system session. The client device may forward the secured credentials to a trusted environment in the server, effectuating single sign-on.

Abstract: A system monitors an application. The system includes a state table with state table nodes corresponding to application checkpoints. The state table nodes include an authorized time interval and application path. The system also includes a time counter that tracks an operation time between successive application checkpoints, and a program counter that tracks and stores an operation path for the application. A checkpoint module verifies an operation of the application at a checkpoint by comparing the authorized time interval for the checkpoint state table node and the operation time tracked by the time counter, as well as the authorized application path for the checkpoint state table node and the operation path tracked by the program counter. A security action is performed when the tracked operation time is not within the authorized time interval, or when the tracked operation path does not match the authorized application path.
