  • Patent number: 11784836
    Abstract: A computing system that is configured to receive requests to send computer executable programs to a data owner system associated with a data source for execution of the computer executable program by the data owner system. The data owner system may store to a blockchain a permitted list of programming functions, function libraries, function syntax definitions, and execution environment requirements. The computing system may be further configured to retrieve the permitted lists. The computing system may be further configured to evaluate the computer executable program using the permitted lists to determine if the computer executable program may be executed by the data owner system. The evaluation may be performed by generating an abstract syntax tree of the computer executable program. The computing system may be further configured to send the computer executable program to the data owner system if the computer executable program satisfies the conditions of the permitted lists.

  • Patent number: 11784791
    Abstract: An online identity can be verified based on data from multiple identity sources stored in a blockchain. For example, a request for a token is received from an entity for authenticating an online identity of the entity to an online service. The request can be stored in a blockchain that represents the online identity of the entity by adding a new block to the blockchain. The new block can include data indicating the request for the token. The token can be generated based on the one or more ordered blocks in the blockchain. The token can be transmitted to the entity. The token can be received from the online service. Confirmation of the online identity of the entity can be transmitted to the online service based on receiving the token from the online service.

  • Patent number: 11784824
    Abstract: In a system, computer-readable media and methods for secure ledger assurance tokenization (SLAT), a block content of a first blockchain is audited, which includes accessing, by a request circuit of a SLAT computing system, a retrievably stored cross-reference content and generating an audit result. Generating an audit result includes evaluating, by a SLAT circuit of the SLAT computing system, the cross-reference content such that the audit result is informed at least by the cross-reference content. The audit result is included in a secure ledger assurance token generated by a SLAT generation circuit of the SLAT computing system and stored relationally to the block content of the first blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11784829
    Abstract: A phytosanitary treatment blockchain is generated from automatically gathered phytosanitary treatment records. The phytosanitary treatment records are generated by matching authenticated treatment data with authenticated identification data. Matching may be based on geolocation, timestamps, or both. Authentication may be based on digital signatures using private key encryption. Separate treatment sensors and identification sensors automatically gather information about a phytosanitary treatment and the item being treated. The gathered information is encrypted and transmitted to blockchain members that perform authentication, matching, and generation of the phytosanitary treatment blockchain. A tracking code may be issued for each treatment. The tracking code is used to obtain an authentication of the treatment that indicates whether the treatment passed or failed.

  • Patent number: 11784819
    Abstract: Dynamic segmentation of network traffic through the use of Pre-Shared Keys (PSKs). Each defined network segment uses a different pre-shared key and a message authentication code (MAC)-signing algorithm to sign data packets with segment-specific MACs. As such, only those computer hosts/nodes that are in the network segment (i.e., have been assigned the same pre-shared key for generating and decoding the MAC signed data packets) are capable or reading the segment's network traffic. By implementing segment-specific MAC signed data packets, the present invention allows for confidential data transmission absent the need to encrypt the actual contents/data being transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11782745
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer readable media and articles of manufacture consistent with innovations herein are directed to computer virtualization, computer security and/or hypervisor fingerprinting. According to some illustrative implementations, innovations herein may utilize and/or involve a separation kernel hypervisor which may include the use of a guest operating system virtual machine protection domain, a virtualization assistance layer, and/or a CPU ID instruction handler (which may be proximate in temporal and/or spatial locality to malicious code, but isolated from it). The CPU ID instruction handler may perform processing, inter alia, to return configurable values different from the actual values for the physical hardware. The virtualization assistance layer may further contain virtual devices, which when probed by guest operating system code, return the same values as their physical counterparts.

  • Patent number: 11669465
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a computing system that performs techniques relating to the secure storage, maintenance, and retrieval of data. Techniques described in this disclosure may prevent, limit, or otherwise insulate the data from unauthorized access by hackers, rogue devices, and unauthorized users. In some examples, a computing system may store a file by fracturing the file into multiple data blocks, encrypting the data blocks or the data stored within the data blocks, and storing the data blocks in scattered locations on a network. Further, the computing system may occasionally move at least some of the stored data blocks, and may, upon moving such data blocks, reencrypt the moved data blocks with a different encryption key. Still further, the computing system may inject fake data and/or fake data blocks into the system.

  • Patent number: 11647005
    Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for management and pre-establishment of network application and secure communication sessions. Session logs may be analyzed to identify an application or secure communication sessions likely to be accessed, and prior to receiving a request to establish the session, an intermediary (e.g. another device such as an intermediary appliance or other device, or an intermediary agent on a client such as a client application) may pre-establish the session, performing any necessary handshaking or credential or key exchange processes. When the session is subsequently requested (e.g. in response to a user request), the system may immediately begin using the pre-established session. This pre-establishment may be coordinated within the enterprise providing load balancing and scheduling of session establishment to prevent large processing loads at any one point in time.

  • Patent number: 11606389
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and responding to an intrusion in a computer network include generating an adversarial training data set that includes original samples and adversarial samples, by perturbing one or more of the original samples with an integrated gradient attack to generate the adversarial samples. The original and adversarial samples are encoded to generate respective original and adversarial graph representations, based on node neighborhood aggregation. A graph-based neural network is trained to detect anomalous activity in a computer network, using the adversarial training data set. A security action is performed responsive to the detected anomalous activity.
