  • Publication number: 20220270093
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting intrusions to a set of assets comprising a list of assets identifications, a list of wallet identifications, a register of asset-wallet associations, a bitcoin blockchain, wherein each asset holds a wallet, and wherein wallet identifications include bitcoin live unspent transactions, the method consisting in the steps of: at the publication of every new block of the bitcoin blockchain, checking if one of the live unspent transactions is missing from the list of live unspent transactions included in the new block of the blockchain, and determining whether an intrusion has happened based on the check.

  • Publication number: 20200058023
    Abstract: A blockchain-based, decentralized data marketplace is described. The marketplace allows data sellers to sell their data to data buyers in exchange for payments in tokens. The marketplace allows for securely and anonymously selling data in a trusted environment that is also fair to all participants and provides data sellers with the ability to control and monetize their own data (e.g., personal data). A notary with access to “ground truth” data can validate data that is being offered in the marketplace to ensure that it is not falsified or fabricated before it is purchased by a data buyer. The marketplace implements blockchain-based smart contracts that work together, and with cryptographic protocols, to achieve an efficient, decentralized data marketplace where data sellers and data buyers transact directly with one another while remaining anonymous, if desired.

  • Patent number: 9183397
    Abstract: A system for providing automated computer security compromise as a service, contains a web server having a web front end running on the web server. The Web server has stored therein pentest definitions. A command and control component processes the pentest definitions, builds pentest task tickets and reporting task tickets, and monitors at least one penetration tester component and/or at least one report generator component. The command and control component interacts with a cloud computing environment to scale up or down the number of penetration tester components and the number of report generator components, and assigns task tickets to the penetration tester and report generator components. At least one penetration tester component runs penetration testing modules available inside the penetration testing framework as instructed by the pentest task tickets. At least one reporter generator component generates reports based on the reporting tasks tickets generated by the command and control service.

  • Publication number: 20030220940
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for analyzing audit log data. Text strings from a plurality of devices are stored in a log database, each of the text strings being indicative of an audit event in the respective device. At least a portion of the text strings are retrieved from the log database and the retrieved text strings are parsed according to pre-defined parsing rules. Each of the retrieved text strings is mapped to a respective audit event. The retrieved text strings are mapped based on the respective audit event. Representations of the filtered text strings are displayed on a grid using color-coded areas. The horizontal axis of the grid represents a first time scale and the vertical axis of the grid represents a second time scale different from the first time scale.

  • Publication number: 20030221116
    Abstract: A security framework is provided for protecting software. The source code for the software has directives marking portions of the source code to be modified or encrypted. The source code is modified using a random factor based on the directives. The source code is compiled to produce a binary file. Source code starting and ending lines and binary file positions of each of the blocks to be encrypted are stored. Portions of the binary file that correspond to each of these blocks are encrypted. Each of these blocks is decrypted when a function inside the block is required during execution of the software.

  • Publication number: 20030177376
    Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to information technology assets in a computer network. The system includes a ticket manager server configured to generate tickets based on user data in a master database. A ticket manager client, resident on a workstation, is configured to receive tickets from the ticket manager server and distribute resource data obtained from the tickets to network security modules. The user data includes resource registers, each of which has a type field designating a particular security module, resource data for use by the designated security module, and an execution domain field that exclusively designates an execution environment in which the designated security module can use the resource data.
