  • Patent number: 11962635
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamically switching between synchronous and asynchronous communication channels. A communication request can be received from an application, and a request identifier can be generated for the communication request. The communication request can be transmitted to an edge server application via a first communication channel. The first communication channel can be selected from a plurality of communication channels based at least in part on a policy. In an instance in which a condition specified by the policy is detected in the transmission of the communication request, a second communication channel can be selected from the plurality of communication channels. The communication request can be transmitted to the edge server application using the second communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20230297687
    Abstract: A method for assigning permissions to files in a malware detection system, is provided. The method generally includes assigning a first subset of permissions to a first file classified as an unknown file, opening the first file in accordance with the first subset of permissions, determining a first verdict for the first file, the first verdict indicating the first file is benign, assigning a second subset of permissions to the first file based on determining the first verdict indicating the first file is benign, and executing the first file in accordance with the second subset of permissions.

  • Publication number: 20230275932
    Abstract: This application relates generally to validating cybersecurity standard compliance of a computer system within a protected execution environment. An example method includes, obtaining one or more messages from a first component while the first component is operating in a protected execution environment created by applying cybersecurity requirements of a security standard, wherein the one or more messages include information about the cybersecurity requirements, and wherein the one or more messages are encrypted; decrypting the one or more messages; comparing the information contained in the one more messages with corresponding cybersecurity requirements of the security standard for the first component; and determining whether the first component is in compliance with the security standard based on the comparing of the information contained in the one more messages with corresponding cybersecurity requirements of the security standard.

  • Publication number: 20230109647
    Abstract: This relates generally to configuring and automatically selecting a cipher solution for secure communication. An example method includes, at an electronic device, receiving a request initiated by a requestor for one or more cryptographic operations, determining contextual information associated with the requestor, selecting a cipher solution for processing the request based on the contextual information and a policy engine, and processing the request for the one or more cryptographic operations by executing one or more cryptographic algorithms in accordance with the selected cipher solution.

  • Publication number: 20230104102
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to configuring an application or service with reconfigurable cryptographic features taking the form of cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with a cryptographic provider configured to receive abstracted cryptographic API calls and retrieve specific cryptographic features based on established cryptographic policies. This configuration allows for rapid updates to the cryptographic framework and for the cryptographic framework to be managed remotely in enterprise environments.

  • Publication number: 20230107763
    Abstract: This relates generally to protecting adjustable cipher solutions using trusted execution mechanisms. An example method includes, at one or more electronic devices, receiving a request for configuring a cipher solution for one or more cryptographic operations, retrieving one or more cryptographic policies from a first module protected by a secure enclave within a trusted execution environment, accessing one or more libraries in accordance with the one or more cryptographic policies, attesting the one or more libraries by verifying attestation data associated with the one or more libraries within a second module protected by the secure enclave of the trusted execution environment, and configuring the cipher solution for the electronic device based on attesting the one or more libraries.
