Patent number: 11509650Abstract: Methods and systems for mapping a sharable resource using a one-time password are disclosed. An identifier included in a set of provided credentials uniquely associates the one-time password with an executable within a computing environment that hosts the sharable resource. When credentials are received in association with a mapping request, it is determined whether a supplied username corresponds to a user authorized to access the sharable resource and whether a representation of a supplied password received in association with the mapping request matches a representation of the one-time password. Validating the mapping request provides access to the sharable resource.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Andrew Ward Beale, Anthony P. Matyok, Clark C. Kogen, David Strong

Patent number: 11494170Abstract: A proxy compiler may be used within a native execution environment to enable execution of non-native instructions from a non-native execution environment as if being performed within the native execution environment. In particular, the proxy compiler coordinates creation of a native executable that is uniquely tied to a particular non-native image at the time of creation of the non-native image. This allows a trusted relationship between the native executable and the non-native image, while avoiding a requirement of compilation/translation of the non-native instructions for execution directly within the native execution environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Andrew Ward Beale, Anthony P.
