Patent number: 11888900Abstract: In one embodiment, a service receives captured traffic flow data regarding a traffic flow sent via a network between a first device assigned to a first network zone and a second device assigned to a second network zone. The service identifies, from the captured traffic flow data, one or more cryptographic parameters of the traffic flow. The service determines whether the one or more cryptographic parameters of the traffic flow satisfy an inter-zone policy associated with the first and second network zones. The service causes performance of a mitigation action in the network when the one or more cryptographic parameters of the traffic flow do not satisfy the inter-zone policy associated with the first and second network zones.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Matthew Scott Robertson, David McGrew, Timothy David Keanini, Sunil Amin, Ellie Marie Daw

Patent number: 11188628Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for authenticating users based on a sequence of biometric authentication challenges. In one aspect, a process includes receiving a first image of the face of the user and processing the first image according to a first authentication process to determine whether the face of the user shown in the first image matches the face of an authorized user. A second authentication process including a sequence of biometric authentication challenges is identified. The sequence includes at least one facial expression challenge. The user is authenticated in response to determining that the first authentication process is satisfied based on the face of the user shown in the first image matching the face of the authorized user and the second authentication process is satisfied based on the user providing a valid biometric response to each biometric authentication challenge.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Benjamin Glen McCarty, Ellie Marie Daw
