  • Patent number: 12641062
    Abstract: A personal artificial intelligence (AI) system may be used to conduct business with one or more entities. The personal AI system may automatically replicate security rules from another AI system to provide initial security rules and may adjust the initial security rules based on information about the user to generate revised security rules. The rules adjustments may also be based on the entities with which the user does business. An AI firewall may be generated to control access to the personal AI system by a second AI system, with which business may be conducted. To permit interactions with the second AI system, the AI firewall may require that the second AI system provide the personal AI system with data relating to previous transactions between the user and the operator of the second AI system. The data may include the monetary amount of each of multiple recent transactions.

  • Patent number: 12625941
    Abstract: An Amazon Web Services (AWS) temporary role assumption access credentials invalidation system and process for invalidating AWS temporary role assumption access credentials using session policies and session tags are disclosed. The AWS temporary role assumption access credentials invalidation system is configured to revoke the temporary credentials associated with an AWS temporary role which a user no longer needs and also ensure that a confused user does not inadvertently use an incorrect set of temporary credentials. By invalidating AWS temporary role assumption access credentials using session policies and session tags, inadvertently assumed credentials can also be immediately invalidated. Furthermore, the AWS temporary role assumption access credentials invalidation system revokes temporary credentials when a user is finished with them. This ability to immediately invalidate any issued credential provides a much more secure environment for an organization.

  • Patent number: 12615144
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method for secure communication between two endpoints comprising a first endpoint connected with a request collector using a first poll-pull communication link, wherein the first endpoint authenticates with the request collector. A second endpoint connects with the request collector using a second poll-pull communication link and authenticates with the request collector. Once both endpoints are authenticated, the first endpoint prepares a first encrypted communication by encrypting a communication, encapsulates the first encrypted communication in a first IP packet and sends the first IP packet to the request collector using the first poll-pull communication link. The request collector receives the first IP packet and extracts and decrypts the first encrypted communication to obtain the communication and prepares a second encrypted communication by encrypting the communication and encapsulates the second encrypted communication in a second IP packet.

  • Patent number: 12574385
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving access control for a software application. A cloud platform may include a software application and an authorization sidecar. When a user attempts to access a resource, of the software application, that is associated with a first security level, the authorization sidecar performs authorization on the user based on a general authorization procedure and a specific authorization procedure. The user has access to the resource associated with the first security level after being authorized. When a user attempts to access a resource, of the software application, that is associated with a second security level, the authorization sidecar performs authorization on the user based on the general authorization procedure. The user has access to the resource associated with the second security level after being authorized.

  • Patent number: 12564764
    Abstract: A first mobile device displays a visual representation of at least a portion of a basketball court and receives user input indicating a sequence of actions to be performed on the basketball court by a player. The first mobile device encodes the sequence of actions into a data structure and sends the data structure to a server to cause the server to initiate a notification to at least at a second mobile device. The second mobile device receives the data structure and displays the visual representation of the basketball court concurrently with at least one user interface element corresponding to at least one action in the sequence of actions. Placement of the at least one user interface element relative to a basketball hoop is determined, at the second mobile device after receipt of the data structure, based at least in part of a profile of the player.
