Abstract: In some embodiments, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) parameters may be used to bind access tokens to authorize web-browser-initiated network operations. In some embodiments, a user input at a data exchange gateway associated with a first website to perform a first network operation (e.g., a request to access resources associated with the first website) may be detected. In response to the detected user input, an access token may be generated based on user specific information associated with the user, where the access token is associated with one or more network operation parameters. In response to a use of the access token for authorizing the first network operation and successful authorization of the first network operation, the access token may be configured to be bound to a first URL identifier parameter associated with the first website.

Abstract: The invention relates to data recovery technology. Each created backup is checked for the integrity of the placed files, while calculating the checksums of each block of data that can be restored from the backup. The computer system is restored from a backup copy by connecting it using the archive copy connection driver, which creates a virtual disk that is readable by standard means of the operating system of the computer system being restored. The booting of the operating system is performed from the virtual disk and, after restoring the functioning of the computer system, the system volume that has been damaged is restored from the backup copy to the local storage medium.

Abstract: An authentication method for use in a device and comprises monitoring a program behavior stream comprising a plurality of program observables that comprises a program observable. The method records the program observable and matches the recorded first program observable to a program model selected from a plurality of program models stored within a program store. A user model is selected from a plurality of user models stored within a user store corresponding to the program model. A user behavior stream corresponding to the program observable is monitored and a user observable contained in the user behavior stream is recorded. The user observable is correlated to the user model and an authentication state associated with the device is determined based on the correlating.

Abstract: A first party uses a secret key to encrypt information, which is then sent through an untrusted connection to a second party. The second party, however, cannot decrypt the information on its own, and it relays the encrypted information through a secure network. The secure network includes one or more nodes linking the first and second parties through one or more trusted connections (“hops”); each hop features uses of a shared secret key unique to that hop. The first party's connection to the network (domain) receives the information relayed through the secure network by the second party, it decrypts that information according to the secret key of the first party, and it then retransmits the decrypted information to the second party using the secure hops. Techniques are provided for sharing a private session key, federated credentials, and private information.

Abstract: A system receives a request to authorize an interaction between a first avatar associated with a first user and a second avatar associated with a second user within a virtual environment. The system receives a request to verify the identity of the first user. The system receives an image of the first user and extracts facial features from the image. The system identifies a serial number and a user credential associated with the first user. The system generates a token based on the facial features, the serial number, and the user credential. The system verifies the identity of the first user based on the token. If the identity of the first user is verified, the system authorizes the interaction between the first avatar and the second avatar.

Abstract: To support adding functionality to applications at a layer of abstraction above language-specific implementations of AOP, a language for implementing AOP facilitates runtime monitoring and analysis of an application independent of the language of the application. Aspects can be created for applications written in any supported language. Program code underlying implementations of aspects can be executed based on detecting triggering events during execution of the application. Routines written with the AOP language comprise event-based aspect code triggers that indicate an event which may occur during execution of the application and the associated aspect code to be executed. An agent deployed to a runtime engine to monitor the application detects events and evaluates contextual information about the detected events against the aspect triggers to determine if aspect code should be executed to perform further monitoring and analysis of the executing application.

Abstract: Presented is a network security system (NSS) that reliably detects malleable C2 traffic. The NSS intercepts outgoing transactions from user devices associated with user accounts. The NSS filters out transactions to known benign servers and analyzes remaining transactions for indicators of malleable command and control (C2) including heuristic, anomalous, and pattern-based detections. The NSS lowers the user confidence score associated with the user account or the user device based on the severity and number of detected indicators for each impacted outgoing transaction. When the user confidence score decreases below a threshold, the NSS implements a restricted security protocol for future outgoing transactions. Based on the detected indications, the NSS can identify malleable C2 attacker servers and add them to a blacklist of destination servers to further identify infected user accounts and devices.

Abstract: Policy-based genomic digital data sharing facilitates a variety of sharing scenarios, including public access, tenant-to-tenant sharing, workgroup sharing, and access by external service providers. Genomic digital data can be published to the platform and controlled by access tokens that are generated based on access policies. The policies can support conditions that are evaluated at execution time and effectively place control of access to information in hands of the owning tenant. Sharing conditions can be easily specified to support various use cases, relieving administrators from excessive access control configuration.

Abstract: A device may receive software installation packages that include unique device identifiers and unique security mechanisms associated with corresponding IoT devices and include an address for the device, and may store the software installation packages in a data structure. The device may receive, based on the address for the device and from an IoT device, connection data identifying a request to connect to the device and identifying a device identifier and a security mechanism associated with the IoT device, and may utilize an MQTT protocol to authenticate the connection data based on the device identifier, the security mechanism, and the software installation packages stored in the data structure. The device may identify the IoT device as active when the connection data is authenticated, and may enable, when the connection data is authenticated, the IoT device to publish data to the device or to subscribe to data from the device.

Abstract: A subscriber information authentication system that compares network-obtained and device-obtained information to verify that a device being used in connection with a user account is authenticated for that account. Certain subscriber information may be associated with the account during a registration process. In subsequent attempts to access the account, the registered subscriber information may be used in conjunction with information obtained from a telecommunication network and from a device to verify that the device is authorized. The information from the telecommunication network may be queried using Signaling System No. 7 (“SS7”) protocols. The device authorization may be performed, for example, to ensure that a device being used for device-based verification is the device a user purports it to be.

Abstract: A method and system for protecting access to remote systems, such as resource databases containing sensitive resources, such as cryptographic keys or personally identifying information, is disclosed. A server can receive a plurality of access requests from a requesting entity. The server can identify an entity profile corresponding to the access requests, as well as a machine learning model corresponding to the entity profile. The access requests can be used to form access sequences, which can be evaluated by the machine learning model. The machine learning model returns an anomaly score that can be compared to a threshold. If the anomaly score exceeds the threshold, the server can prevent further access to the remote system, for example, by revoking a credential associated with the requesting entity.
