Publication number: 20230095504Abstract: A method of restricting data access based on properties of at least one of a process and a machine executing the process includes receiving, by an access control management system, from a first computing device, information associated with an encrypted data object. The method includes requesting, by the access control management system, from a verifier, verification that a second computing device executes a process in accordance with a process attribute identified in the information associated with the encrypted data object. The method includes sending, by the access control management system, to the second computing device, the received information associated with the encrypted data object, responsive to the verification of the process attribute.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Rebecca Claire Weiss, Reuven Mark Vallejo Gonzales, William Rodgers Ackerly

Patent number: 11516253Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for using an identity-aware proxy to filter transmissions for virtual networks. The device may receive an encrypted application programming interface (API) call from a second device, wherein the encrypted API call is associated with a remote network resource, and wherein the device is included in a remote network which includes the remote network resource. The device may determine, based on the encrypted API call, an account associated with the remote network resource. The device may determine that the account is not authorized to access the remote network resource using the remote network. The device may send an error notification to the second device.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Frank Leslie Van Deman, V, Joshua Stephen Du Lac, Rebecca Claire Weiss

Patent number: 11477183Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling software applications to obtain temporary security credentials used to interact with a cloud provider network and, upon the revocation of an active set of temporary security credentials used by an application (e.g., due to concerns about the temporary credential's potential exposure to one or more unauthorized third parties), to readily obtain new temporary security credentials that the application can use to continue operation with minimal interruption. The temporary security credentials can be used, for example, to enable the cloud provider network to authenticate requests sent by software applications or users to various services or other components of the cloud provider network. An operator of a cloud provider network may provide a software development kit (SDK) that application developers can use to incorporate functionality related to the management of temporary security credentials.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Jason Brandwine, Rebecca Claire Weiss

Patent number: 11389764Abstract: A method for treating a natural gas containing carbon dioxide using membrane modules which are assigned to a first treatment stage or a second treatment stage and are fluidically connected to a retentate mode or a permeate mode. When evolution in the operating conditions results in one of the processing levels requiring less membrane surface for gas processing and the other processing level requiring more membrane surface for gas processing, then the method allows for reassignment of needed membrane modules assigned from one processing level requiring less membrane surface to another processing level requiring more membrane surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: TOTAL SEInventors: Phuc-Tien Thierry, Denis Chretien, Claire Weiss, Salim Azzi, Aneke Igwume

Patent number: 10958653Abstract: A computing resource service provider grants a first set of security permissions to a principal (e.g., a user) which may be used to access a plurality of computing resources. The permissions may be associated with a first security token. The principal may access resources using the first set of security permissions, and a system (e.g., a service provider) may identify a subset of security permissions that are sufficient to provide access to the computing resources accessed by the principal using the first set of permissions. The subset may be associated with the principal. In some cases, the principal operating under the subset of permissions may be denied access to a computing resource and may be granted access to the computing resource by operating under the first set of permissions.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Christopher Miller, Rebecca Claire Weiss

Patent number: 10666606Abstract: A customer may request a service endpoint for a service in their virtual network on a provider network. In response, a service endpoint is generated in the customer's virtual network, a local IP address in the IP address range of the customer's virtual network is assigned to the service endpoint, and a DNS name is assigned to the service endpoint. Resources on the customer's virtual network resolve the DNS name of the service endpoint to obtain the local IP address of the service endpoint and send service requests for the service to the local IP address of the service endpoint. The service endpoint adds routing information to the service requests and sends the service requests over the network substrate to be routed to the service.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Siaosi Voegele, Kevin Christopher Miller, Justin Canfield Crites, Andriy Palamarchuk, Andrew Bruce Dickinson, Christopher Carson Thomas, Rebecca Claire Weiss

Patent number: 10627159Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of natural gas containing carbon dioxide, methane and paraffins. The method comprising: a step of extracting the paraffins from the natural gas in a paraffin-removal column, and a step of separating the carbon dioxide and the methane in a distillation column. The operation of the two columns being provided by means of the thermal coupling of said two columns using a thermal coupling heat exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: TOTAL SAInventors: Denis Chretien, Salim Azzi, Claire Weiss

Patent number: 10469442Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable adaptive handling of domain resolution requests originating from a virtual private cloud (VPC) networking environment. An administrator of the VPC can provide a set of rules specific to the VPC that designates how requests for a domain name should be handled. The rules may specify, for example, that a request for a given domain name should be routed to a particular domain name server, which may include a private domain name server, should be dropped, or should be routed according to a default behavior (e.g., a public domain name system). Resolution requests originating in the VPC can be associated with a VPC identifier. When an adaptive resolution system receives the request, it can retrieve rules associated with the VPC identifier, and apply the rules to determine further routing for the request.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrey Mizik, Lee-Ming Zen, Gavin Derek McCullagh, Yohanes Santoso, Vadim Meleshuk, Yu Gu, Minli Lai, Ivan Mistrianu, Rebecca Claire Weiss, Yi Cheng Chen, Ronald Andrew Hoskinson
