  • Publication number: 20200195618
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product to detect whether specific sensitive data of a client is present in a cloud computing infrastructure is implemented without requiring that data be shared with the cloud provider, or that the cloud provider provide the client access to all data in the cloud. Instead of requiring the client to share its database of sensitive information, preferably the client executes a tool that uses a cryptographic protocol, namely, Private Set Intersection (PSI), to enable the client to detect whether their sensitive information is present on the cloud. Any such information identified by the tool is then used to label a document or utterance, send an alert, and/or redact or tokenize the sensitive data.

  • Publication number: 20200184045
    Abstract: Enforcing authorization controls for an approved software change on a target system is provided. A user is validated to perform a set of actions. The set of actions performed by the validated user is monitored to determine whether the set of actions conform to an approved process for the approved software change on the target system. A deviation from the approved process is detected based on determining that the set of actions do not conform to the approved process during the monitoring. In response to detecting the deviation from the approved process, an alert is sent regarding the deviation.

  • Publication number: 20200175205
    Abstract: Methods for secure data monitoring utilizing secure private set intersections are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes: generating a garbled circuit program compiled into a first and second half; sending the second half of the garbled circuit program to a client server of a client; receiving social network data from a social network provider; and generating search results, utilizing the first half of the garbled circuit program in cooperation with the second half of the garbled circuit program, based on client data input at the second half of the garbled circuit program. The client data is private with respect to the social network provider and the social network data is private with respect to the client.

  • Publication number: 20200175201
    Abstract: Systems for secure data monitoring utilizing secure private set intersections are disclosed. In embodiments, program instructions are executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to: generate a garbled circuit program compiled into a first half and a second half; send the second half of the garbled circuit program to a client server of a client; receive social network data from a social network provider; index, utilizing the first half of the garbled circuit program in cooperation with the second half of the garbled circuit program at the client server, the social network data based on predetermined intent categories; and generate search results, utilizing the first half of the garbled circuit program in cooperation with the second half of the garbled circuit program at the client server, based on client data at the second half of the garbled circuit program.

  • Publication number: 20200169879
    Abstract: Systems for cellular network authentication utilizing unlinkable anonymous credentials are disclosed In embodiments, a computer program product is provided including a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to: contact a mobile device network with a request to connect to the mobile device network; conduct an interactive credential issuance protocol with an Issuer of the mobile device network to generate an unlinkable anonymous credential; connect to the mobile device network based on a Verifier of the mobile device network verifying the computing device based on the unlinkable anonymous credential; and store a temporary mobile subscriber identity assigned to the mobile device by the mobile device network, wherein the temporary mobile subscriber identity is filled with a null value.

  • Publication number: 20190147054
    Abstract: A device may capture one or more images. The device may automatically sort the one or more images into a save category and a delete category. The device may predict an action of a user towards the one or more images in the save category. The device may rank the one or more images in the save category based on the predicted action of the user. The device may display a first image to the user. The first image may have a highest rank among the one or more images in the save category.
