  • Patent number: 8516595
    Abstract: A system and a method for determining the reliability of blacklists is disclosed. Each blacklist comprises IP addresses of supposedly infected computers. The reliability is computed by analyzing whether the blacklist reports or not controlled infections from sandboxed environments and by measuring the elapsed time between reported infections and disinfections. The obtained information is then used in combination with several metrics for determining the trustworthiness of the IP address of a given Internet host that requests an online transaction with the purpose of granting or denying access to a service.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7671626
    Abstract: An embodiment of this invention pertains to a versatile and flexible logic element and logic array block (“LAB”). Each logic element includes a programmable combinational logic function block such as a lookup table (“LUT”) and a flip-flop. Within the logic element, multiplexers are provided to allow the flip-flop and the LUT to be programmably connected such that either the output of the LUT may be connected to the input of the flip-flop or the output of the flip-flop may be connected to the input of the LUT. An additional multiplexer allows the output of the flip-flop in one logic element to be connected to the input of a flip-flop in a different logic element within the same LAB. Output multiplexers selects between the output of the LUT and the output of the flip-flop to generate signals that drive routing lines within the LAB and to routing lines external to the LAB.
