Patent number: 11799647Abstract: A physical card (in some cases without any on-board source of power or computing capabilities) is configured to maintain access information for digital bearer assets. The physical card may include disposed thereon a single address operable to receive digital bearer assets in one or more transactions on a decentralized computing platform, like a blockchain-based decentralized computing platform. Other decentralized computing platforms utilize different address generation protocols, thus preventing use of a single address on those other platforms. A set of addresses is generated, each address corresponding to a given decentralized computing platform. Each address is based on a same underlying key-pair, and a primary address is selected from the set for a given card. The remaining addresses in the set are stored, without storage of the public key or private key, and returned in a response to a request for additional addresses of the currency card.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Ballet Global Inc.Inventor: Bobby Christopher Lee

Patent number: 11790079Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for enabling the automatic detection of executable code from a stream of bytes. In some embodiments, the stream of bytes can be sourced from the hidden areas of files that traditional malware detection solutions ignore. In some embodiments, a machine learning model is trained to detect whether a particular stream of bytes is executable code. Other embodiments described herein disclose systems and methods for automatic feature extraction using a neural network. Given a new file, the systems and methods may preprocess the code to be inputted into a trained neural network. The neural network may be used as a “feature generator” for a malware detection model. Other embodiments herein are directed to systems and methods for identifying, flagging, and/or detecting threat actors which attempt to obtain access to library functions independently.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Inventors: Shlomi Salem, Roy Ronen, Assaf Nativ, Amit Zohar, Gal Braun, Pavel Ferencz, Eitan Shterenbaum, Tal Maimon
