  • Patent number: 11977668
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for supporting Input/Output (I/O) channel protection. The device maintains one or more channel protection enclaves (CPEs), wherein each CPE is associated with a different I/O channel, wherein each I/O channel is associated with a different address space of a memory, and wherein each CPE is allocated verification information comprising the address space associated with its associated I/O channel. The device further receives a transaction on a given I/O channel, the transaction comprising access information including one or more target addresses. Moreover, the device determines a correlation of the transaction's access information and the verification information of the CPE associated with the given I/O channel, and allows or aborts execution of the transaction, based on whether the determined correlation meets a predefined criterion.

  • Patent number: 11934323
    Abstract: A symmetric key that is stored at a device may be received. A public key from a remote entity may also be received at the device. Furthermore, a derived key may be generated based on a one way function between the symmetric key that is stored at the device and the public key that is received from the remote entity. The derived key may be encrypted with the public key and transmitted to the remote entity. The encryption of the derived key with the public key may provide secure transmission of the derived key to an authorized remote entity with a private key that may be used to decrypt the encrypted derived key.

  • Patent number: 11899821
    Abstract: The system obtains information to send to the first user device and converts the information into a sequence of images, where one or more images in the sequence of images include the information, and a remainder of images in the sequence include a visual unrelated to the information. The number of the one or more images and the number of the remainder of images indicate a display frequency. The number of the remainder of images is greater than the number of the one or more images. The display frequency causes an observer to form a perception of the one or more images. The system sends the sequence to the first user device and causes the first user device to present on the display screen the sequence at the display frequency, which causes a garbling of a recording of the display screen associated with the first user device.

  • Patent number: 11831773
    Abstract: A system for database restoration across service regions. The system includes data storage and backup data storage in the first region. The system includes a frontend for the database service configured to receive, from a client, a request to restore a database to the first region from backups stored in another backup data storage in a second region and to receive an authentication token for the request from the client. The system also includes a backup restore manager service for the first region configured to send, to another backup restore manager service implemented in the second region, a credential request for a second region credential authorizing retrieval of the one or more other backups from the second region.
