  • Patent number: 11829498
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to real-time dynamic securitization of blockchain records. A computing platform may receive record retrieval data comprising record data identifying one or more requested records. The computing platform may decrypt the first requested record to generate a decrypted requested record. The computing platform may parse the decrypted requested record to generate parsed record data. The computing platform may determine that the parsed record data comprises a subset of predetermined textual content. The computing platform may mark one or more predetermined textual content of the subset of predetermined textual content for securitization. The computing platform may generate a securitized record by redacting, from the decrypted requested record, each of the one or more predetermined textual content marked for securitization.

  • Patent number: 11818127
    Abstract: Software development kit (“SDK”) applications may be implemented with user data on an enterprise end-user or shared device subsequent to a single check-out process on the device. A user profile and a context ID for a user can be accessed based on user provided credentials. An agent application can set a value of an agent context ID to a server context ID corresponding to the context ID for the user profile. A status of a local context ID (“LCID”) of an SDK application can be determined in response to an application launch. Using the LCD, a context ID comparison can be performed on the device with a value of a context ID from one of the SDK application, the server, and the agent application based on the LCID status. The SDK application can be implemented with user specific user data obtained from one of the SDK application and the agent application based on a result of the context ID comparison.

  • Patent number: 11804954
    Abstract: Media, system, and method for providing encryption key management to an automated workflow within a group-based communication system. The automated workflow is encrypted using an organization-specific encryption key and is stored in a data store. Responsive to a triggering event, the encrypted workflow is retrieved from the data store to be decrypted and a corresponding decryption key is retrieved from a key store. The decrypted workflow performs a series of steps responsive to determining that a trigger condition has been met. The steps may be associated with at least one of sending a form and sending a message to a user within the group-based communication system.

  • Patent number: 11803652
    Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for a content management system that can be highly flexible to the needs of its subjects. The present technology permits any object to be shared by providing a robust and flexible access control list mechanism. The present technology utilizes a data structure that is highly efficient that both minimizes the amount of information that needs to be written into any database, but also allows for fast reads and writes of information from authoritative tables that are a source of truth for the content management system, while allowing for maintenance of indexes containing more refined data that allow for efficient retrieval of certain information that would normally need to be calculated when it is needed.

  • Patent number: 11799868
    Abstract: Software development kit (“SDK”) applications may be implemented with user data on an enterprise end-user or shared device subsequent to a single check-out process on the device. A user profile and a context ID for a user can be accessed based on user provided credentials. An SDK application can be identified as one application of an application cluster including at least two applications. A status of a local context ID (“LCID”) of the SDK application can be determined, and a value for the LCID can be established based on the status and a value of a comparison context ID obtained from a server or an agent application. The LCID and a context ID for a keychain for the application cluster can be compared, and the SDK application can be implemented with user specific user data obtained from the agent application or the keychain based on a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11797696
    Abstract: A data processing system and a data processing method are capable of concealing files and folders. The data processing system of the invention includes a data storage device and at least one processor. When an application process is started and executed by the at least one processor to search a designated folder in the data storage device through a storage device driver residing in a kernel mode of an operating system, a storage filter driver residing in the kernel mode of the operating system judges if there are any files in the designated folder which have not been searched, and if any, the storage filter driver retrieves a next file in the designated folder through the storage device driver. If the storage filter driver determines that the application process is untrusted and determines that the next file is a concealed file, the storage filter driver does not return the next file.

  • Patent number: 11792138
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first data compute node (DCN) operating in a public datacenter. The method receives an encryption rule from a centralized network controller. The method determines that the network encryption rule requires encryption of packets between second and third DCNs operating in the public datacenter. The method requests a first key from a secure key storage. Upon receipt of the first key, the method uses the first key and additional parameters to generate second and third keys. The method distributes the second key to the second DCN and the third key to the third DCN in the public datacenter.
