Abstract: A method to create a serial wire speed firewall that can monitor and enforce security policy on a CAN buy network and prevent cyber-attacks.

Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to quantum key distribution (“QKD”) networking as a service. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a microservices controller can establish a plurality of quantum connections with a plurality of virtual quantum connection managers (“vQCMs”) deployed in association with a set of quantum user nodes (“QUNs”) in a QKD network. The microservices controller can receive a request to initialize the QKD network. The microservices controller can coordinate with the plurality of vQCMs to handle initialization of the QKD network. The microservices controller can receive a QKD service request from a QKD network operator. The microservices controller can invoke a plurality of microservices to handle the QKD service request.

Abstract: Websites are monitored for changes over time. A domain name server resolves a domain name to a single internet protocol address and then performs a reverse resolution for the single internet protocol address. When multiple alias records resolve to the same host name, the domain name server determines the single internet protocol address virtually hosts multiple domain names.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for providing network security monitoring in a communications network are disclosed. For example, the method receives communications traffic associated with a sensor network from a sensor that is a member of the sensor network, analyzes the communications traffic to determine if an attack is occurring on the sensor network, and generates an alarm if the attack is occurring on the sensor network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ignoring a duplicated alarm in a communications network are described. In one embodiment, at least one alarm message associated with at least one event is received. A determination of whether the at least one event exists in a database is subsequently made. The at least one event is recorded in the database if the at least one event does not exist in the database. Conversely, the at least one alarm message is suppressed if the at least one event exists in the database.

Abstract: A method for locating and monitoring websites is provided that includes finding websites and contained hyperlinks, downloading a first snapshot of a web page taken at a first time, and downloading a second snapshot of the web page taken at a second time later than the first time. The method also includes enabling a comparison of the first snapshot and the second snapshot. A system for monitoring websites is provided. The system includes means for enabling a comparison of the first snapshot and the second snapshot visually or through the use of content data from that web site. A computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon an executable program is provided. The program when executed causes a processor to perform a method for monitoring websites.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products answer questions using heuristics. A question and an input are received. A set of heuristic rules is retrieved, and the question is answered by evaluating an accuracy of each heuristic rule. Multiple accuracies from the set of heuristic rules are combined to produce a confidence level for the answer to the question.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for providing remote trust management for machine to machine communications in a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a request from a sensor to join a wireless network, determines a trust score of the sensor by a server at the network, and allows the sensor to join the wireless network if the trust score is greater than a predetermined threshold.
