  • Patent number: 11544390
    Abstract: A mechanism for probabilistically determining the contents of an encrypted file is provided, such that a transfer of the encrypted file can be restricted according to rules associated with an unencrypted version of the file. Embodiments generate a file size table of a subset of files, where each entry of the file size table includes a size information regarding the unencrypted file. Embodiments compare the size of the encrypted file against the file sizes and compressed file size ranges to determine whether the encrypted file has a match. If the size of the encrypted file has a single match in the table, then there is a high probability that the file associated with the matching entry is the unencrypted version of the encrypted file. Rules associated with restricting access of the file related to the matching entry can be used to control transfer of the encrypted file.

  • Patent number: 11544357
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for parameterized application installation. A client device may provide authentication credentials of a user to an authentication server, which may store an association between the user and a content item linking to an application and identifying a parameter for use by the application. The client device may download and install the application via an application server or application store. Once installed, the application may re-provide the authentication credentials to the authentication server, which may retrieve the association, and provide the parameter for use by the application. Thus, the application server or application store may continue to discard referrer information or parameters for the application, but the application may still receive and utilize the parameters without further user intervention.

  • Patent number: 11475168
    Abstract: Various examples are provided related to power side-channel vulnerability assessment. In one example, a method includes identifying target registers in an IC design; generating input patterns associated with a target function that can generate a power difference in the target registers when processing the target function; determining a side-channel vulnerability (SCV) metric using the power difference produced by the input patterns; and identifying a vulnerability in the IC design using the SCV metric. Identification of the vulnerability allows for modification of the IC design at an early stage, which can avoid power side-channel attacks (e.g., DPA and CPA) in the fabricated IC design. The method can be used for pre-silicon power side-channel leakage assessment of IC designs such as, e.g., cryptographic and non-cryptographic circuits.

  • Patent number: 11451640
    Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.
