Patent number: 11722465Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses may provide password encryption for hybrid cloud services. A workspace cloud connector internally residing with an entity may intercept user credentials associated with an internal application being transmitted to an external cloud service. The workspace cloud connector may generate an encryption key and encrypt the user credentials via a reversible encryption methodology. The workspace cloud connector may encrypt the encryption key using an irreversible encryption methodology (e.g., use a hashing function to produce a first hash). The workspace cloud connector may transmit the encrypted user credentials and the first hash to a virtual delivery agent via a first path (e.g., via the external cloud service). In response, the workspace cloud connector may receive an address of the virtual delivery agent and, using the address, may send the encryption key to the virtual delivery agent via a second path different from the first path.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Inventors: Leo C. Singleton, IV, Andy Cooper

Patent number: 11716336Abstract: Systems and methods for end to end encryption are provided. In example embodiments, a computer accesses an image including a geometric shape. The computer determines that the accessed image includes a candidate shape inside the geometric shape. The computer determines, using the candidate shape, an orientation of the geometric shape. The computer determines a public key of a communication partner device by decoding, based on the determined orientation, data encoded within the geometric shape. The computer receives a message. The computer verifies, based on the public key of the communication partner device, whether the message is from the communication partner device. The computer provides an output including the message and an indication of the communication partner device if the message is verified to be from the communication partner device. The computer provides an output indicating an error if the message is not verified to be from the communication partner device.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventor: Subhash Sankuratripati
