Abstract: A cloud security control platform and method enforces security controls across multiple cloud environments, services and disparate teams while providing a frictionless “Permissions on Demand” mechanism for approvals and exceptions. In contrast to the prior art, security is evaluated on a permission by permission basis, with the default being that all permissions are denied and then only given to a particular identity on an as-needed basis. This approach reduces the security risks associated with the vast capabilities available in Public Cloud environments and permits an organization that uses the platform to grant access, approve exceptions and delegate approvals with the appropriate compliance.

Abstract: A method for serializing communications in the computing field includes serializing input data into a serialized stream of symbols, based on one or more encodings, at a serializer, each symbol including a disparity code selected based on a running disparity (RD) of the serialized stream of symbols. The running disparity (RD) is tracked by setting the RD to an initial value, and then adding a disparity of each symbol to the RD to ensure the RD does not exceed a desired maximum, e.g., three. A positive disparity encoding or a negative disparity encoding of each symbol is selected for transmission based on the RD. The serialized data stream of symbols is transmitted along a data conduit, to a deserializer, in which the serialized data stream of symbols is deserialized to determine a corresponding bit value, for outputting decoded information in parallel form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for enhancing the security of smart contracts within blockchain networks by utilizing a hardware secure enclave for monitoring and suspending contract activities in response to detected security breaches. The system establishes a trust relationship between the hardware secure enclave and the smart contract, providing the smart contract with a unique enclave signature to ensure secure communications. A modular data monitoring application within the enclave is configured to detect suspicious activities, while an attestation process ensures the integrity of the enclave's code. Upon detecting a security threat, the system initiates a pause function to suspend contract operations and mitigate potential damage. The invention further leverages blockchain relayer modules to witness and transmit contract activity, and consensus mechanisms such as Proof-of-Work (PoW) or Proof-of-Stake (PoS) for transaction verification.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for monetizing access to data using a blockchain-based framework with hardware secure enclaves (HSEs). The system enables data owners to securely store and control access to their data while ensuring payment for access through blockchain smart contracts. The system comprises a hardware secure enclave configured to lock data off-chain, store it securely, and provide cryptographic proof of data properties to authorized parties. Data access is monetized through the submission of funds to a smart contract, with payment verified on-chain and processed by the enclave. The system utilizes unique enclave signatures to manage notifications and triggers related to data access requests. Furthermore, the system employs blockchain relayers to ensure timely communication and transaction verification. A universal attestation process is used to ensure the integrity of the enclave's code.
