Patent number: 10824766Abstract: Technologies for USB device policy enforcement include a computing device having a USB controller and secure enclave support. On boot, a firmware enclave randomly generates a binding identity and then securely provisions the binding identity to the USB controller. The firmware enclave also seals the binding identity to a policy enforcement enclave. At runtime, the policy enforcement enclave unseals the binding identity and includes the binding identity in a policy enforcement command sent to the USB controller. The USB controller verifies that the binding identity included in the command matches the binding identity that was previously provisioned. If the binding identities are successfully verified, the USB controller enforces the command. The USB controller may block data transfers or device configuration changes for one or more specified devices. Each of the firmware enclave and the policy enforcement enclave are trusted execution environments. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Soham Jayesh Desai, Reshma Lal, Pradeep Pappachan, David Hines

Patent number: 10789360Abstract: Embodiments protect against security vulnerabilities arising from 3rd party JavaScript code. A browser receives from a server, a document including a first JavaScript. The browser in turn references a list stored in a database to recognize the first JavaScript as originating from other than the server. This recognition process may involve obtaining a stacktrace. The browser then references a second JavaScript in order to instrument a document object model (DOM) feature (e.g., global API, DOM element-attached API, DOM node property) to sanitize the first JavaScript. For instrumenting a global API, this may comprise overwriting a global reference in the first JavaScript with a replacement reference to a sanitization function. For instrumenting the DOM element-attached API or the DOM node property, the instrumenting may comprise altering a prototype of the DOM node element. The browser causes the DOM feature to sanitize the first JavaScript, and passes a sanitized JavaScript for execution.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Martin Johns
