  • Patent number: 12231441
    Abstract: In an example, a threat intelligence controller is configured to operate on a data exchange layer (DXL). The threat intelligence controller acts as a DXL consumer of reputation data for a network object, which may be reported in various different types and from various different sources. Of the devices authorized to act as reputation data producers, each may have its own trust level. As the threat intelligence controller aggregates data from various providers, it may weight the reputation reports according to trust level. The threat intelligence engine thus builds a composite reputation for the object. When it receives a DXL message requesting a reputation for the object, it publishes the composite reputation on the DXL bus.

  • Patent number: 12182031
    Abstract: A computer system includes a physical memory having a first page table and a second page table, and an address translation module. The first page table includes primary page table entries, where each page table entry among the primary page table entries is configured to store a mapping of a virtual memory address to a physical memory address and auxiliary information. The second page table includes secondary page table entries each storing at least one further auxiliary information, where each secondary page table entry corresponds to a primary page table entry in the first page table. The address translation module is configured to, in response to receiving a request from a processor, walk through the first page table to identify a primary page table entry and consecutively identify a location of a corresponding secondary page table entry based on a location of the primary page table entry.
