  • Patent number: 12373552
    Abstract: A fraud detection system obtains a number of known fraudulent end-user profiles and/or otherwise undesirable end-user profiles. Using statistical analysis techniques that include clustering the end-user profiles by attributes and attribute values and/or combinations of attributes and attribute values, the fraud detection system identifies on a continuous, periodic, or aperiodic basis those attribute values and/or attribute value combinations that appear in fraudulent or otherwise undesirable end-user profiles. Using this data, the fraud detection system generates one or more queries to identify those end-user profiles having attribute values or combinations of attribute values that likely indicate a fraudulent or otherwise undesirable end-user profile.

  • Patent number: 12335727
    Abstract: Methods and systems for authenticating devices using 3GPP network access credentials for providing MEC services. A device is configured to receive MEC services from an EAS through 5G S A or NSA architecture. The device is authenticated by an ECS, which involves validating a MAC generated by the device. The MAC is validated using an edge authentication key, which is generated based on 3GPP network access security credentials of the device. The device is authorized by an EES to receive MEC services, which involves successful registration of the device with the EES and the EES providing credentials to the device for accessing an EAS providing desired MEC services. The EAS provides the desired MEC services to the device if the device provides credentials to the EAS, which are same as those provided to the device by the EES.

  • Patent number: 12333001
    Abstract: Mitigation of return stack buffer side channel attacks in a processor. Detecting a side channel attack or a fault in a return from a function call in the processor includes receiving a return exception level indication (or e.g., a return security level indication) indicating the exception level associated with the return and comparing the exception level associated with the return to the exception level (or security level) associated with the return address. The return exception level indicator may be received in conjunction with a return indication. The processing circuit accesses the first entry of the return stack buffer, which indicates the return address of the function call, and also accesses an exception level associated with the return address. The processing circuit compares the exception level associated with the return address to the exception level associated with the return to determine whether to use the return address in a prediction of instruction flow.

  • Patent number: 12326950
    Abstract: Methods, system, and non-transitory processor-readable storage medium for a policy proposal system are provided herein. An example method includes applying at least one policy to data stored on a storage system to identify matched data, where the matched data is data to be moved from the storage system to a secondary storage system. The policy proposal system identifies unmatched data stored on the storage system, where the unmatched data is data that is not identified as the data to be moved from the storage system to the secondary storage system. The policy proposal system trains a machine learning system with the matched data and the unmatched data. The policy proposal system predicts at least one new policy, where application of at least one new policy identifies at least a subset of the unmatched data to be moved from the storage system to the secondary storage system.

  • Patent number: 12284223
    Abstract: A DNS server receives from a receiving email system, a DNS query for an email domain stored at the DNS server, the DNS query including identifying information of a sender of an email. The DNS server extracts the identifying information of the email sender from the DNS query and identifies one of a plurality of delivering organizations from the information. The DNS server determines whether the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain. In response to determining that the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain, the DNS server generates a target validation record based on the identity of the authorized delivering organization and the email domain, the target validation record including one or more rules indicating to the receiving email system whether the delivering organization is an authorized sender of email for the email domain.

  • Patent number: 12265611
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. The data processing systems may provide computer implemented services to any type and number of other devices and/or users of the data processing systems. To improve the likelihood of the data processing systems being able to provide the computer implemented services, a system may proactively attempt to identify and remediate attempts to limit access to data stored in the data processing systems. To do so, multiple layers of monitoring may be deployed to the data processing systems. A first deployed layer of monitoring may identify information regarding encryption types and/or characteristics of encryption being performed. A second deployed layer of monitoring may identify telemetry for storage devices on which data subject to encryption is deployed. The information collected via theses layers may be used to infer whether any encryption being performed is authorized or unauthorized.

  • Patent number: 12206658
    Abstract: A system for verifying unique components are installed in an end user information handling system comprises a manufacturing facility collecting component information into a data structure, encrypting the data structure, creating a secured component verification (SCV) certificate, signing the SCV certificate and communicating the SCV certificate to a repository, the repository storing the signed SCV certificate. A copy of the signed SCV certificate is saved onto the information handling system. When the information handling system is delivered, the copy of the SCV certificate is compared with the SCV certificate stored in the repository. If they match, the information handling system is verified. If a unique component is replaced, a delta certificate is created and stored with the original SCV certificate in the repository such that all changes to unique components in the information handling system are tracked.
