  • Patent number: 11689553
    Abstract: Log data associated with at least one user session in a network environment associated with an original user is received. A logical graph is generated using at least a portion of the received log data. One example of such a logical graph is a privilege change graph that models privilege changes between processes. Another example of such a logical graph is a user login graph that models machines with which the original user interacts. Another example of such a logical graph is a machine-server graph that clusters machines into nodes based on resources executing on the machine. The generated logical graph is used to detect an anomaly.

  • Patent number: 11687664
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to blockchain application implementations. It can be used for allowing regular users to obtain formal authorization for accessing files from blockchain powered file storage devices. Before a user accesses a file, a smart contract should be invoked and check if the user device possesses an authorized file access token which is non-fungible token and recorded in the blockchain network. Accordingly, this invention can turn a file abstractly into a token that can be traded or distributed on the internet. Furthermore, these files are encrypted by the access token and binding with it, unauthorized access or illegal copy is not possible. Eventually, Digital File becomes tradable and unique Digital Asset, which will result in a new era of e-commerce transactions. Virtual things Real.

  • Patent number: 11671244
    Abstract: One example method includes creating a backup of data, creating metadata associated with the backup, hashing the backup to create a backup hash, obtaining a key from a blockchain, generating an aggregate hash of a combination that includes the key and the backup hash, and transmitting the aggregate hash to a blockchain network. Because the aggregate hash is not modifiable when stored in a blockchain, an immutable record exists that establishes when a particular backup was created.

  • Patent number: 11664972
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a blockchain structure includes providing a first data block and a second data block, wherein a first data processing rule is assigned to first data of the first data block, and a second data processing rule is assigned to second data of the second data block. The first data processing rule is linked to the second data processing rule to obtain a third data processing rule, wherein the first data processing rule is executed before the second data processing rule when the third data processing rule is executed. The second data processing rule is linked to the first data processing rule to obtain a fourth data processing rule. When the fourth data processing rule is executed, the first data processing rule is executed after the second data processing rule. The third data processing rule is stored in the second data block and the fourth data processing rule is stored in the first data block to obtain the blockchain structure.

  • Patent number: 11665178
    Abstract: Logic may reduce the latency and increase the confidence in message time series (MTS) intrusion detection systems (IDSs). Logic may capture traffic on an in-vehicle network bus during a first traffic window. Logic may filter the traffic within the first traffic window to determine more than one observation window, wherein the more than observation window comprises at least a first observation window and a second observation window. Logic may evaluate the more than one observation window to determine a first output based on a first observation window and a second output based on a second observation window, the first and second outputs to indicate if an intrusion is detected. Logic may determine, based on a combination of the outputs, that the traffic during the first traffic window comprises an intrusion. Logic may output an indication of the intrusion.

  • Patent number: 11652634
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and system is described which uses blockchain technology as a storage system for data acquired from a digital twin. The blockchain can be used to generate an immutable transaction history of data produced by the digital twin. In the case of an error, failure, incident, or accident, parties of interest can then access and analyse an immutable set of data. The blockchain network can also execute a digital smart contract based on the data received from a digital twin. The invention may be used in conjunction with the Bitcoin blockchain or another blockchain protocol.
