  • Publication number: 20220014365
    Abstract: Aspects include encrypting data based at least in part on a session key to generate encrypted data. The session key is encrypted based at least in part on a sender key to generate an encrypted session key. A request for an encrypted sender key index is transmitted to the KMS, the request includes an index of the sender key and an index of each of one or more additional keys. The encrypted sender key index is received from the KMS. An object that includes the encrypted data, the encrypted session key, the index of each of the one or more additional keys, and the encrypted sender key index is generated. Access to the data via the object is controlled based at least in part on whether a receiver has access to the sender key and to the one or more additional keys.

  • Publication number: 20210396486
    Abstract: An airgun has a high pressure reservoir for providing a pressurized motive gas to a breech to fire a projectile. A regulator is intermediate the high pressure reservoir and a downstream firing pressure reservoir for providing a consistent regulated pressure of the motive gas in the firing pressure reservoir. The airgun includes a bypass line for selectively connecting the high pressure reservoir to the firing pressure reservoir, independently of the regulator. Thus, an operator can select a firing of the airgun with either a regulated gas pressure in the firing reservoir or the pressure of the high pressure reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20210383020
    Abstract: Aspects include receiving a request from a user to access data that was acquired by a third-party from a data owner, the data in an encrypted format unreadable by the user. In response to receiving the request from the user to access the data, a third-party key from the third-party is requested and a data owner key from the data owner is requested. The third-party key and the data owner key are applied to the data in the encrypted format to generate the data in an unencrypted format readable by the user. The user is provided with access to the data in the unencrypted format.

  • Publication number: 20210383006
    Abstract: Aspects include receiving a notification that a value of a data element stored in a source storage location in a source format has been changed to an updated value. The change is replicated to a plurality of target storage locations. The replicating includes, for each of the plurality of target storage locations, determining a target format of the data element in the target storage location. The target format is one of a plurality of different formats, including the source format. Each of the different formats provide a different level of data protection for the data element. In response to determining that the target format is not the same as the source format, the updated value of the data element is converted into the target format, and the updated value of the data element is stored in the target format at the target storage location.

  • Publication number: 20210367761
    Abstract: Embodiments include encrypting an object such that the creator of the encrypted object can be identified. Aspects include receiving, by a processor, an unencrypted object that includes plaintext and metadata that describes the plaintext and obtaining, by the processor in response to a request from a user, a data encryption key (DEK) and a nonce key for the unencrypted object, the nonce key being unique to the user. Aspects also include encrypting, by the processor, the unencrypted object. The encrypting includes generating a nonce based at least in part of the plaintext and the nonce key and generating ciphertext and a metadata authentication tag comprising a signature of the metadata, the generating based at least in part on the plaintext, the metadata, the DEK, and the nonce. Aspects further include creating an encrypted object that includes the ciphertext, the metadata, and the metadata authentication tag.

  • Publication number: 20210350015
    Abstract: A described method includes receiving, by a database system, an instruction to change a first data element in a table in a database, which includes a first copy and a second copy of the table. A first entry is created in a first change-table. The first entry includes an updated value for a first data element. A second entry is created in a second change-table. Creating the second entry includes, changing the updated value into a ciphertext if the first data element is secured, and storing the ciphertext into the second entry. If the first data element is non-secured, the updated value is stored into the second entry as is. The second copy of the table is modified using the second change-table. The second copy of the table is used to respond to subsequent queries.

  • Publication number: 20210349917
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for replicating data changes through distributed invalidation includes receiving, by a distributed database system, an instruction to change a data element in a table. The distributed database system includes at least a first server and a second server. A first copy of the table is stored on the first server, and a second copy of the table is stored on the second server. The method further includes in response to the instruction, determining that the data element is secured by a replication key that is stored on a shared key management system that is accessible by the first server and by the second server, wherein the replication key is unique to the data element. The method further includes invalidating the replication key and modifying the first copy of the table on the first server according to the instruction that is received.

  • Publication number: 20210350008
    Abstract: Aspects include receiving an outbound payload for output to a requestor as part of a response to a call by the requestor to an application programming interface (API). Clear data in the outbound payload is selected for encryption based on policy information. The clear data is encrypted to generate encrypted data, and the encrypted data is inserted into the outbound payload in place of the clear data to generate an updated outbound payload. The response, including the updated outbound payload, is sent to the requestor.

  • Patent number: 11163909
    Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for validating an event record. The method includes securing, by a processor, a log of one or more events being performed a computer by adding tamper detection to the log. Securing includes generating, by the processor, a first event record in response to an event being performed by the computer and generating, by the processor, a second event record in response to the first event record being generated. The second event record includes a first signature and a second signature corresponding to the first event record. The processor, in response to a request to detect tampering of the first event record, validates the first event record based on the first signature and the second signature in the second event record.

  • Publication number: 20210281392
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving, by a processor, an unencrypted object that includes plaintext and metadata that describes the plaintext. A data encryption key (DEK) and a nonce key for the unencrypted object are obtained by the processor. The nonce key is different than the DEK. The unencrypted object is encrypted by the processor. The encrypting includes generating a nonce based at least in part of the plaintext and the nonce key. The encrypting also includes generating ciphertext and a metadata authentication tag that includes a signature of the metadata. The generating is based at least in part on the plaintext, the metadata, the DEK, and the nonce. An encrypted object that includes the ciphertext, the metadata, and the metadata authentication tag is created.

  • Patent number: 11047410
    Abstract: An apparatus for aligning and shimming plates being anchored to a substratum having a plurality of threaded anchor holes coaxially aligned with corresponding apertures and coaxial threaded bores through each plate. The apparatus includes an external threaded cylindrical shim having a shimming surface and a second (outer) surface adapted to accept rotary force for rotational movement and adjustment of the separation produced by the shim between the substratum and the anchored plate. For anchoring, the 2nd surface of the shim further includes a counterbored or countersunk hole having a shoulder including a narrower passthrough aperture aligned with the threaded anchor hole, through which an anchor screw extends for rotational mating with the threaded anchor hole. The anchor screw also has a head wider than the passthrough aperture, and adapted to accept rotary force for rotational movement and fixing the shim in place.
