  • Patent number: 11750394
    Abstract: In a method for decrypting persistent user cryptographic keys in a distributed cryptographically secured peer-to-peer filesystem, a primary input value is received from a first user on a first peer device. A symmetric user encryption key UK1 is generated for the first user from the primary input value on the first peer device. An encrypted private key ePrK1 is requested and received from a non-volatile memory of a data persistence server using the first peer device. The encrypted private key ePrK1 is decrypted using the symmetric user encryption key UK1 using a symmetric decryption algorithm on the first peer device, producing a private key PrK1=ESUK1?1(ePrK1). The private key PrK1 is used to reconstruct a distributed file.

  • Patent number: 11741220
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for computer intrusion detection. The method includes establishing a mapping from low-level system calls to user functions in computer programs. The user functions run in a user space of an operating system. The method further includes identifying, using a search algorithm inputting the mapping and a system-call trace captured at runtime, any of the user functions that trigger the low-level system calls in the system-call trace. The method further includes performing, by a processor device, intrusion detection responsive to a provenance graph with program contexts. The provenance graph has nodes formed from the user functions that trigger the low-level system calls in the system-call trace. Edges in the provenance graph have edge labels describing high-level system operations for low-level system call to high-level system operation correlation-based intrusion detection.

  • Patent number: 11734446
    Abstract: A method for causing sending and receiving of an encrypted file between a sending user terminal and a receiving user terminal connected via a network to be performed in a secret state via a management server is provided. The sending user terminal encrypts an original file and then fragments the original file into a plurality of divided files, creates a plurality of combined files formed by combining a plurality of the divided files, and distributes and saves the combined files to which restoration information for opening the combines files has been added in a plurality of online storages. The receiving user terminal can open the combined files obtained from the online storages by using the restoration information received from the management server to extract the divided files included in the combined files, and can restore the original file from the divided files.

  • Patent number: 11728978
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present specification provide a method and an apparatus for establishing a trusted channel between a user and a trusted computing cluster. According to the method, when a user wants to establish a trusted channel with a trusted computing cluster, the user only negotiates a session key with any first trusted computing unit in the cluster to establish the trusted channel. Then, the first trusted computing unit encrypts the session key using a cluster key common to the trusted computing cluster to which the first trusted computing unit belongs, and sends the encrypted session key to a cluster manager. The cluster manager transmits the encrypted session key in the trusted computing cluster, so that other trusted computing units in the cluster obtain the session key and join the trusted channel. Thus, the user establishes a trusted channel with the entire trusted computing cluster.

  • Patent number: 11704752
    Abstract: Network traffic is received from an unrecognized guest device on a computer network. A user profile server is queried to determine a user identifier that is associated with the device identifier of the unrecognized guest device. A login database is queried to find an unexpired login record of an authorized guest device associated with the user identifier. The unexpired login record grants the authorized guest device access to the network service with a service entitlement for an allowed access duration, and a stored device identifier in the unexpired login record of the authorized guest device is different from the device identifier of the unrecognized guest device. The service entitlement of the network service specified in the unexpired login record is shared between the authorized guest device and the unrecognized guest device for a remaining portion of the allowed access duration of the unexpired login record of the authorized guest device.

  • Patent number: 11689923
    Abstract: An authentication server enrolls a user's mobile device as a trusted device with a vendor software after verifying the network ID of the user's mobile device. The authentication server associates the network ID in an authentication entry with authentication information such as a push notification token and cryptographic key. Later, when the user attempts to log in to the vendor software, the authentication server may attempt to cryptographically authenticate the user. Otherwise, the authentication server may use the push notification token to transmit an OTP to the user's mobile device as a push notification.
