  • Patent number: 12175005
    Abstract: Techniques for restricting plug-in application recipes (“PIARs”) are disclosed. A PIAR management application receives a PIAR restriction via an authenticated user of the PIAR management application. The PIAR restriction is applicable to certain users of the PIAR management application. The PIAR restriction identifies functionality of the PIAR management application that would otherwise be available to a user of the PIAR management application if the user had an active account for a particular plug-in application that, once linked to that user in the PIAR management application and associated with a particular PIAR, would be capable of supplying at least part of the functionality. The PIAR management application stores the PIAR restriction, including information to block the restricted functionality. Based on the PIAR restriction, the PIAR management application blocks the restricted functionality. Many different types of functionality may be restricted, in various ways.

  • Patent number: 12177221
    Abstract: A system for computer security of a remote device having a processor includes a way to determine an operating mode of the remote device and a way to validate a resource (e.g., program, script, web address). When an attempt is made to access a resource, the operating mode of the remote device is determined and when the operating mode of the remote device is a corporate operating mode, then the resource is evaluated using a corporate protection file. Otherwise, when the operating mode of the remote device is determined to be a personal operating mode, then the resource is evaluated using a personal protection file. When the resource validation determines that the resource is approved, access to the resource is provided; otherwise, access to the resource is prevented.

  • Patent number: 12158956
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing access to reliable boot firmware. In various implementations, a computing system includes an integrated circuit with a security processor. Prior to performing any steps of a bootup operation using one of multiple copies of boot firmware, the security processor determines whether multiple signatures exist where the signatures are based on the multiple copies of boot firmware. Each of the multiple copies of boot firmware is a copy of a particular version of boot firmware. If the multiple signatures do not yet exist, then the security processor generates the signatures using the multiple copies of boot firmware. During a bootup operation, when the security processor determines that the multiple signatures already exist, the security processor uses these signatures to validate one or more of the multiple copies of boot firmware. The security processor continues with the bootup operation using the validated copy of boot firmware.
