  • Patent number: 10223550
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for generating canonical representations of JSON documents. One of the techniques includes receiving a first JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) document, wherein the first document includes one or more JSON objects, and wherein each JSON object includes one or more name-value pairs; generating a first canonical representation of the first JSON document, wherein generating the first canonical representation comprises: removing each non-significant whitespace character and non-significant line ending from the first document, for each JSON object, sorting the name-value pairs included in the JSON object lexicographically, and converting one or more instances of a number value type in the first document into a standardized representation of a double data type; and generating a first digital signature for the first JSON document using the first canonical representation.

  • Patent number: 10146674
    Abstract: System and methods for providing plugin-based software verification are described. A method may include, upon receiving a first registration instruction containing a first harness plugin associated with a first automated software test, configuring, by a test harness lifecycle controller, a first test harness based on the first harness plugin to support the executing of the first automated software test, wherein the first automated software test is a software test executable by a computer without human intervention. The method may include, upon receiving a first execution instruction, executing, by a test execution engine instructed by the test harness lifecycle controller, the first software test in the first test harness. The method may further include, upon receiving a request for test results, transmitting, by the test harness lifecycle controller in response to the request, test results collected during the executing of the first automated software test.

  • Patent number: 9722795
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for digitally signing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) messages. One of the techniques includes receiving a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) message; and digitally signing the JSON message, wherein digitally signing the JSON message comprises: generating a digital signature information JSON object; inserting the digital signature information JSON object into the JSON message; generating a canonical representation of the JSON message with the inserted digital signature information JSON object; generating a digital signature of the canonical representation of the JSON message; and inserting the digital signature into the digital signature information JSON object.
