  • Patent number: 12056230
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for split one-time password digits for secure transmissions to selected devices. Authentication credentials and one-time password operations by a service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may be compromised by malicious computing attacks or other actions that compromise the security of data and communications. To increase security of the data within a communication and authentication operations, a split one-time password system may be implemented. A user may preset a number of known digits for a one-time password with a profile and/or account. When multifactor authentication is required, randomized digits may be generated using a hash algorithm and may be transmitted to the user with instructions for completion of the one-time password. The user may be required to specifically enter the known digits with the randomized digits to properly pass the multifactor authentication.

  • Patent number: 12022001
    Abstract: A method and apparatus provides debug information and employs a central debug service in a management environment that issues, to a client debug agent in a client environment, a cryptographically secure signed request for access to debug information that is generated by code executing in the client environment. The request is signed using a private key of a public/private key pair associated with the central debug service. The central debug service receives from the client debug agent, a request that requests the public key of public/private key pair associated with the central debug service and provides the public key of the central debug service to the client debug agent, in response to the request, for verification of approval to access debug information in the client environment. The central debug service receives the requested debug information from the client debug agent, in response to a successful signature verification by the client debug agent.

  • Patent number: 12013921
    Abstract: Systems and methods enable automated and scalable obfuscation detection in programming scripts, including processing devices that receive software programming scripts and a symbol set. The processing devices determine a frequency of each symbol and an average frequency of the symbols in the script text. The processing devices determine a normal score of each symbol based on the frequency of each symbol and the average frequency to create a symbol feature for each symbol including the normal score. The processing devices utilize an obfuscation machine learning model including a classifier for binary obfuscation classification to detect obfuscation in the script based on the symbol features. The processing devices cause to display an alert indicting an obfuscated software programming script on a screen of a computing device associated with an administrative user to recommend security analysis of the software programming script based on the binary obfuscation classification.
