Patent number: 11036853Abstract: A system for preventing cyber security attacks over the CAN bus of a vehicle, from carrying out their plot. The system includes a teleprocessing device that is provided with the message identifier of at least one ECU to be blocked. The teleprocessing device is configured to read the message identifier of CAN messages, to thereby identify the at least one ECU to be blocked. Upon determining that the vehicle is under a cyber security attack, the ECU blocking device is activated. Upon identifying that a message was transmitted by the at least one ECU to be blocked, then during the CAN bus ‘bit monitoring’ process, before the at least one ECU to be blocked reads back the transmitted signal, the ECU blocking device alters one or more bits of the transmitted signal, to thereby force the message to be an erroneous CAN message.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: ENIGMATOS LTD.Inventors: Eyal Kamir, Alexander Fok, Yaniv Tuchman, Avi Bitton, Uriel Friedman, Meni Dali, Yoni Malka

Patent number: 11038856Abstract: A network processor provides for in-line encryption and decryption of received and transmitted packets. For packet transmittal, a processor core generates packet data for encryption and forwards an encryption instruction to a cryptographic unit. The cryptographic unit generates an encrypted packet, and enqueues a send descriptor to a network interface controller, which, in turn, constructs and transmits an outgoing packet. For received encrypted packets, the network interface controller communicates with the cryptographic unit to decrypt the packet prior to enqueuing work to the processor core, thereby providing the processor core with a decrypted packet.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: MARVELL ASIA PTE, LTD.Inventor: Richard E.

Patent number: 10990668Abstract: Monitoring nodes may generate a series of current monitoring node values over time representing current operation of a cyber-physical system. A decision fusion computer platform may receive, from a local status determination module, an indication of whether each node has an initial local status of “normal”/“abnormal” and a local certainty score (with higher values of the local certainty score representing greater likelihood of abnormality). The computer platform may also receive, from a global status determination module, an indication of whether the system has an initial global status of “normal”/“abnormal” and a global certainty score. The computer platform may output, for each node, a fused local status of “normal” or “abnormal,” at least one fused local status being based on the initial global status. The decision fusion computer platform may also output a fused global status of “normal” or “abnormal” based on at least one initial local status.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Masoud Abbaszadeh, Walter Yund, Weizhong Yan
