  • Patent number: 11546377
    Abstract: The main objective of Certificate Transparency (CT) is to detect mis-issued certificates or rouge certificate authorities. It has been observed that phishing sites have been increasingly acquiring certificates to look more legitimate and reach more victims, thus providing an opportunity to predict phishing domains early. The present disclosure provides systems and methods for early detection of phishing and benign domain traces in CT logs. The provided system may predict phishing domains early even before content is available via time-, issuer-, and certificate-based characteristics that are used to identify sets of CT-based inexpensive and novel features. The CT-features are augmented with other features including passive DNS (pDNS) and domain-based lexical features.

  • Patent number: 11540102
    Abstract: A method of the present disclosure includes confirming second state information received from a second electronic device, confirming first state information of the first electronic device, comparing the first state information and the second state information with pre-set state information, and performing a function of the second electronic device by switching to the first electronic device according to the comparison result. Accordingly, since the first electronic device can be selected and controlled with a gesture or motion agreed between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, security can be enforced by avoiding an accident of data leakage, and selecting the second electronic device for controlling can be decreased.

  • Patent number: 11516240
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may obtain a first model that is trained to identify feature data associated with a client system using one or more services of a service platform. The system may train, based on the feature data, a second model to identify anomalies associated with devices accessing the one or more services in association with a client identifier of the client system. The system may receive access data associated with an acting device accessing a service of the service platform. The system may determine, using the second model, that the acting device accessing the service corresponds to potential anomalous activity based on the access information. The system may obtain, from a verification device, a verification that the acting device accessing the service is anomalous activity. The system may perform, based on obtaining the verification, an action associated with the acting device.

  • Patent number: 11516146
    Abstract: A method implemented to provide a virtual network to tenants requiring bandwidth in a cloud computing environment is disclosed. The method starts with receiving a request for a task at a network device, the request including a first parameter indicating VMs required, a second parameter indicating bandwidths the required VMs need, a third parameter indicating a duration of the task, and a fourth parameter indicating a deadline of the task. The network device then selects a starting time and a bandwidth allocation of the task, where the bandwidth allocation is shrank to be smaller than the second parameter indicating, and where the selection aims at minimizing a measurement of cloud resource utilization considering consumptions of both VMs and bandwidth. Then the network device allocates VMs for the request at the starting time with the bandwidth allocated at a particular location in the cloud computing environment.

  • Patent number: 11509673
    Abstract: A computer system automatically tests a network communication model by predicting whether particular traffic (whether actual or simulated) should be allowed on the network, and then estimating the accuracy of the network communication model based on the prediction. Such an estimate may be generated even before the model has been applied to traffic on the network. For example, the model may be generated based on a first set of network traffic. The accuracy of the model may then be estimated based on a second set of network traffic. This allows the accuracy of the model to be estimated without first waiting to apply the model to actual network traffic, thereby reducing the risk associated with applying the model before its accuracy is known.

  • Patent number: 11496499
    Abstract: Examples relate to preventing scheduling or executing a resource on an inconsistent host node in a networked system. Some examples track a taint status of the host node and identify whether the host node is inconsistent based on the taint status of the host node over a predefined period of time. Upon identifying that the host node is inconsistent, a master taint is applied on the inconsistent host node, which prevents scheduling or executing a resource on the identified inconsistent host node.

  • Patent number: 11457091
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to standardizing content requests and responses in a content delivery network (CDN). An edge node receives a control object including sets of instructions each implementing portions of a customer's business logic. The edge node may receive, from a client, a content request identifying a content item, and may apply a set of the instructions which causes the edge node to (i) determine whether any changes are needed for the benefit of a cache server and whether any changes are need for the benefit of an origin server, and (ii) generate a processed client request identifying the content item and including, if needed, any changes for the benefit of the cache server and the origin server. The edge node transmits the processed client request to the cache server, receives a response from the cache server, and transmits a processed client response to the client.

  • Patent number: 11397966
    Abstract: A control system determines whether a browser is retrieving supplemental content over a slow or faulty network using a tracking indicator. Based on determining that browser is retrieving supplemental content over a slow or faulty network, the control system modifies responses to opportunities to provide supplemental content to the browser. The control system may modify responses by declining to bid, responding with a lower bid amount, or responding with alternate supplemental content. Based on determining that browser is no longer retrieving supplemental content over a slow or faulty network, the control system modifies responses to opportunities to provide supplemental content to the browser by responding with a higher bid amount or responding with the original supplemental content. Thus, the control system maximizes the use of control system and campaign manager resources by responding to opportunities according to the likelihood that they will result in an impression or a conversion.
