  • Patent number: 11848964
    Abstract: Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for zero trust endpoint network security. A method can include providing, by a ZTENS device, first data indicating the ZTENS device is communicatively coupled to a compute device, providing, by the ZTENS device and over a first communication channel through a web application of the compute device, one or more URLs, receiving, by the ZTENS device and over the first communication channel, data indicating a URL of the one or more URLs selected by a user of the compute device through the web application, communicating, by the ZTENS device a request for website data of a website associated with the selected URL, and receiving, by the ZTENS device, the website data and providing the website data to the compute device.

  • Patent number: 11599373
    Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store a virtualization associated with a programming and test platform and a munition. The virtualization includes a virtual machine containing first software or firmware instructions associated with the programming and test platform and second software or firmware instructions that control behavior of the programming and test platform relative to the munition. The virtualization also includes a virtual representation of the munition. The virtualization further includes one or more virtual communication channels configured to communicatively couple the virtual machine and the virtual representation of the munition. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to execute the virtualization and simulate the programming and test platform and the munition on the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230027823
    Abstract: A method includes generating output code based on input code using a compiler or translator and providing the output code to one or more platforms for execution. The method also includes receiving feedback associated with the execution of the output code, where the feedback identifies at least one of: one or more failures during the execution of the output code and one or more performance characteristics of the execution of the output code. The method further includes modifying the compiler or translator based on the feedback and generating additional output code using the modified compiler or translator.

  • Patent number: 10929542
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for detection of policy violations in an unmodified binary in a virtual environment include receiving the unmodified binary in an executable and linkable format (ELF). The unmodified binary is executed, via an emulator, within the virtual environment. The executing includes determining, by an instruction set emulator, a symbol that is referenced during the executing of the unmodified binary. The symbol, a current state, and a global state is sent to a software policy engine. The software policy engine determines an assertion associated with the symbol. The assertion verifies a policy is enforced. A previous state is updated based on the symbol. The assertion is executed based on the current state, the previous state, and the global state. The assertion is determined to have failed based on the executing the assertion. A warning is logged indicating the failed assertion.
