  • Patent number: 11416592
    Abstract: A signature verification system, which comprises a plurality of worn devices of signing users, each provided with one or more motion sensors, and a processor for receiving motion signals from the sensors, the processor is adapted to define a set of features that describe a signature and distinguish one signature from another; perform a training phase by obtaining motion signals from one or more motion sensors of the worn devices; training a machine learning classifier using the instances and labels; obtain motion signals from motion sensors of the a worn device, the motion being of an allegedly genuine signature of one of the users; scale and domain transform the allegedly genuine signature; calculate values of the features describing the allegedly genuine signature with respect to scaled and transformed reference signatures of the one of the users; and apply the trained classifier on the feature values, thereby classifying the allegedly genuine signature as genuine or forged.

  • Patent number: 9934388
    Abstract: A method for encrypting a database, according to which a dedicated encryption module is placed inside a Database Management Software above a database cache. Each value of the database is encrypted together with the coordinates of said value using a dedicated encryption method, which assumes the existence of an internal cell identifier that can be queried but not tampered.

  • Publication number: 20180018709
    Abstract: A method for information spread in one or more social networks, the method may include receiving or generating social network information that represents members of the one or more social networks and links between the members; repeating, for each point in time out of multiple points in time, the steps of: determining, in response to budget constraints and current statuses of the members, and the current influence vectors of the members social circle, at least one target member that is non-infected during the point of time and should be infected before the next point in time, to provide an increase in the final number of infected members; wherein the statuses of the members comprises (i) infected and infectious, (ii) non-infected and (iii) infected and non-infectious; and sending, at a cost, the information to the at least one target member, before the next point in time.

  • Publication number: 20140101438
    Abstract: A database encryption system and method, the Structure Preserving Database Encryption (SPDE), is presented. In the SPDE method, each database cell is encrypted with its unique position. The SPDE method permits to convert a conventional database index into a secure one, so that the time complexity of all queries is maintained. No one with access to the encrypted database can learn anything about its content without the encryption key. Also a secure index for an encrypted database is provided. Furthermore, secure database indexing system and method are described, providing protection against information leakage and unauthorized modifications by using encryption, dummy values and pooling, and supporting discretionary access control in a multi-user environment.
