  • Tokenized links with granular permissions
    Patent number: 10635828
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and handling tokenized links pointing to web-accessible files are provided herein. The tokenized link obscures the filepath of the file and is associated with a permission scope that consists of a set of criteria for evaluating conditions for access to the file. The link may be freely shared and still provide access restrictions within a domain to the linked file without needing to modify the permissions for the file itself. A user with access to the file may thus freely share the link with other users, who may in turn share the link with yet other users, and be assured that only authorized users will gain access to the file. The tokenized links thereby improve the security of the files, the user experience of the distributing and receiving users, and the functionality of the devices using the tokenized links.

  • Architecture and instruction set for implementing advanced encryption standard (AES)
    Patent number: 10615963
    Abstract: A flexible aes instruction for a general purpose processor is provided that performs aes encryption or decryption using n rounds, where n includes the standard aes set of rounds {10, 12, 14}. A parameter is provided to allow the type of aes round to be selected, that is, whether it is a “last round”. In addition to standard aes, the flexible aes instruction allows an AES-like cipher with 20 rounds to be specified or a “one round” pass.

  • Automobile network to communicate with multiple smart devices
    Patent number: 10601826
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards establishing a network between mobile devices, an automobile head unit, and a plurality of automobile accessories. A user utilizes a user interface on a mobile device to send an accessory access request to the head unit. The head unit receives the request and determines if the mobile device is authentic. If authentic, the head unit determines if the mobile device has the proper permissions to perform the requested access of the accessory. If permitted, the head unit generates and sends control commands to the accessory or obtains the requested accessory data and provides it to the mobile device.

  • Secure interprocess communications between mobile device applications using server-generated keys
    Patent number: 10594673
    Abstract: Systems and methods for secure communications between mobile applications installed on a user's mobile device. In some embodiments, a first application installed on a user's mobile device transmits a message to a server, where the message is to be communicated to a second application. According to disclosed embodiments, there is no limit on the size or a type of data included in the message. The server receives the message and generates a key which is transmitted to the first application. The first application shares the key with the second application which is then transmitted to the server for authenticating the second application. Upon authenticating the second application, the server transmits the message to the second application. In some embodiments, the applications and/or the server exchanges data with goods/services providers associated with the applications.

  • Identifying a denial-of-service attack in a cloud-based proxy service
    Patent number: 10574690
    Abstract: A cloud-based proxy service identifies a denial-of-service (DoS) attack including determining that there is a potential DoS attack being directed to an IP address of the cloud-based proxy service; and responsive to determining that there are a plurality of domains that resolve to that IP address, identifying the one of the plurality of domains that is the target of the DoS attack. The domain that is under attack is identified by scattering the plurality of domains to resolve to different IP addresses, where a result of the scattering is that each of those domains resolves to a different IP address, and identifying one of those plurality of domains as the target of the DoS attack by determining that there is an abnormally high amount of traffic being directed to the IP address in which that domain resolves.

  • Information security apparatus and methods for credential dump authenticity verification
    Patent number: 10574658
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory, storing processor-executable instructions, blacklist terms, and credential dump records, and a processor. The processor receives repository data from targeted remote repositories and stores the repository data as a potential credential dump in the memory when the repository data includes a credential dump attribute. The processor stores the potential credential dump as a probable credential dump when the potential credential dump does not include a blacklist term, in which case the processor also detects a format and delimiter of the probable credential dump. Based on the format and delimiter, pairs of usernames and associated passwords are identified and hashed. If a percentage of the hashes not associated with the credential dump records exceeds a predetermined threshold, the probable credential dump is deemed authentic.

  • Source authentication of a software product
    Patent number: 10558816
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for authenticating the source code of a software end product. The method includes generating a compound key, which is composed of a set of unique keys generated from a source file. A set of files are separately build based on a received source code, and a key generated and embedded into the files at the time of the build. A validation tool is used to compare the values of the generated compound key to the values of the embedded key to determine if the values match.

  • Wireless connections to a wireless access point
    Patent number: 10554420
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a wireless connection. A digital certificate having a second name is obtained by a processor unit in response to receiving a selection of a network using a first name broadcast by a wireless access point. A determination is made by the processor unit as to whether the digital certificate is valid. A determination is made by the processor unit as to whether the second name in the digital certificate matches the first name broadcast by the wireless access point. The processor unit establishes the wireless connection to the wireless access point in response to the digital certificate being valid and the second name in the digital certificate matching the first name broadcast by the wireless access point.
