  • Patent number: 11533185
    Abstract: Systems and method for generating and managing certificate authorities. For instance, a certificate service may provide one or more user interfaces for creating certificate authorities, such as a root certificate authority, a subordinate certificate authority, and/or an intermediate certificate authority. For example, a user may use a user device to create a certificate hierarchy. The certificate service may also provide one or more user interfaces for issuing certificates using the certificate authorities. One or more computing resources may then use the end-entity certificates issued from the certificate authority hierarchy for authentication and/or encryption. For security purposes, the certificate authority may also allow the user to set policies representing users that are able to access and/or utilize the certificate authorities to perform actions, such as issuing certificates.

  • Patent number: 11516207
    Abstract: A method for facilitating a provision of a certificate that securely verifies an identification of an application is provided. The method includes: validating a bootstrap identity that identifies the application at a time of invocation; generating a first token that is signed with a first private key and transmitting the signed first token to the application; receiving, from an external server, a request for a public key to be used for verifying the first private key; and transmitting the requested public key to the external server in order to prompt the external server to provide the certificate to the application. When prompted to provide the certificate to the application, the external server generates a second token that is signed with a second private key and transmits the certificate in conjunction with the signed second token to the application.

  • Patent number: 11509484
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to settlement of securities without revealing ownership including the end owner are described. In some implementations, ownership or control of a security may be managed by using group membership technology to revoke the signing rights of the seller and adding signing rights to the buyer. Group membership with group signatures allow for one group public key and a plurality of private keys, where each private key is associated with a group member. Signatures create by different group members are indistinguishable to verifiers but a group manager is able to determine which member has signed, link member signatures, implement controls and/or limits, and revoke and add signatory capability when needed. In some implementations, revocation of signatory capability is done with the cooperation of a Digital Certificate Authority.

  • Patent number: 11483345
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate prevention of malicious attacks on a web service are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a computing system intercepts a web request directed to a web server providing the web service. The computing system identifies whether or not the web request is malicious. When the web request is identified as malicious, the computing system redirects the web request to an isolated mitigation server configured to mimic responses of the web server. The isolated mitigation server processes the web request to generate artificial content based on the web request that appears to be genuine content provided by the web server, and presents the artificial content in response to the web request.

  • Patent number: 11469878
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that perform homomorphic computations on encrypted third-party data within a distributed computing environment. For example, an apparatus receives a homomorphic public key and encrypted transaction data characterizing an exchange of data from a computing system, and encrypts modelling data associated with a first predictive model using the homomorphic public key. The apparatus may perform homomorphic computations that apply the first predictive model to the encrypted transaction data in accordance with the encrypted first modelling data, and transmit an encrypted first output of the homomorphic computations to the computing system, which may decrypt the encrypted first output using a homomorphic private key and generate decrypted output data indicative of a predicted likelihood that the data exchange represents fraudulent activity.
