  • Patent number: 10972489
    Abstract: Behavioral baselines for a computer system may be accurately and efficiently established by (1) monitoring occurrences on the computer system, (2) determining, based on security rules or heuristics, which of the observed occurrences are associated with potential security risks, (3) identifying patterns of activity based on the suspicious occurrences, and (4) prompting a user to indicate whether the observed patterns of suspicious activity are expected or unexpected. Behavior baselines established in this manner can then be used to differentiate between expected and unexpected patterns of activity on the computer system.

  • Patent number: 10966088
    Abstract: Systems and methods for device-agnostic, multi-factor network authentication are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wireless network connection can authenticate a device over secure authentication means with a certificate that confirms a device identity. After authenticating the device, a user can be prompted to provide credentials in a captive portal. The captive portal can be inaccessible to devices that have not already authenticated using a certificate. After providing approved credentials to the captive portal, the user can access the network. This embodiment and additional embodiments are readily integrated into private wireless networks and others.

  • Patent number: 10951592
    Abstract: A controller and an accessory controllable by the controller can communicate using secure read and write procedures. The procedures can include encrypting identifiers of accessory characteristics targeted by a read or write operation as well as any data being read or written. The procedures can also include the accessory returning a cryptographically signed response verifying receipt and execution of the read or write instruction. In some instances, a write procedure can be implemented as a timed write in which a first instruction containing the write data is sent separately from a second instruction to execute the write operation; the accessory can disregard the write data if the second instruction is not received within a timeout period after receiving the first instruction.

  • Patent number: 10904276
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods that provide a hybrid framework for augmenting statistical anomaly detection with contextual features, machine learning and human Subject Matter Expert (SME) input to learn significant characteristics of true anomalies for which alerts should be generated. The framework presented herein is domain agnostic and independent of the underlying statistical anomaly detection technique or the machine learning algorithm. The framework described herein is therefore applicable and adaptable to a number of real world service provider systems and applications, such as, for example, detecting network performance degradation in a service provider network or detecting anomalous conditions from data received from a sensor while filtering out false positives.

  • Patent number: 10897352
    Abstract: A secret key value that is inaccessible to software is scrambled according to registers consisting of one-time programmable (OTP) bits. A first OTP register is used to change the scrambling of the secret key value whenever a lifecycle event occurs. A second OTP register is used to undo the change in the scrambling of the secret key. A third OTP register is used to affect a permanent change to the scrambling of the secret key. The scrambled values of the secret key (whether changed or unchanged) are used as seeds to produce keys for cryptographic operations by a device.

  • Patent number: 10887306
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for authenticating an unknown device. For a first device in an internet of things network that includes a second device and forms a list of trusted devices, a distance between the first device and the second device is determined. A level of trust for the second device is identified based on the distance, wherein the level of trust specifies a level of data sharing. Reputation ranking is performed for the second device based on the level of trust. The reputation ranking is used to assign a trust score to the second device. Based on determining that the trust score exceeds a trust threshold, access is provided to the second device.

  • Patent number: 10878104
    Abstract: Examples relate to automated multi-credential assessment in a system. One example enables auditing an application by sending a first request for an action to be performed in the application, the first request based on a first privilege level, where the first privilege level corresponds with a first level of access to the application, and sending a second request for the action to be performed in the application, where the second request based on a second privilege level different from the first privilege level. The second privilege level may corresponds with a second level of access to the application different from the first level of access. The first request and second request may be performed, and the results of the performed first request and second request may be combined. The combined results may be made available.

  • Patent number: 10862681
    Abstract: An identity provider IP service provides an optimized sign out experience for a user accessing a single account service. The IP service designates a first account of a service as signed in based on first credentials provided by a user. The IP service provides a first security token for the first account to the service. Upon receiving a first sign out notification, the IP service determines whether the user wants to switch to a second account of the service. Upon determining that the user wants to switch to the second account, the IP service designates the second account as signed in based on second credentials provided by the user, provides a second security token for the second account to the service, and designates the first account as soft signed out so that the user can switch to the first account without re-providing the first credentials.

  • Patent number: 10846390
    Abstract: A cloud-based identity and access management system that implements single sign-on (“SSO”) receives a first request for an identity management service configured to allow for accessing an application. Embodiments send the first request to a first microservice which performs the identity management service by generating a token. The first microservice generates the token at least in part by sending a second request to a SSO microservice that is configured to provide SSO functionality across different microservices that are based on different protocols. Embodiments then receive the token from the first microservice and provide the token to the application, where the token allows for accessing the application.
