  • Publication number: 20230283457
    Abstract: A method includes sending, to a compute device and via a private channel, a public key for asymmetric encryption. The method also includes concurrently authenticating the compute device and generating a traffic key for symmetric encryption, based at least in part on the public key. The method further includes sending a message to the compute device, the message being encrypted using the traffic key via the symmetric encryption.

  • Publication number: 20230188431
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to managing activity taken with respect to cloud-based software services. A platform manages data objects processed by software services and/or those entities that initiate processing events. The platform uses identifiers such as, for example, a persistent identifier (PID) to track processing events. The platform implements rules and/or permissions related to the managed data objects and/or managed entities to determine whettler processing events are in compliance. The platform may update database records, send alerts, send data graphs, or provide a real-time stream related to the managed data objects and/or managed entities.

  • Patent number: 10467426
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a platform that manages activity taken with respect to cloud-based software services. The platform manages data objects processed by software services and/or those entities that initiate processing events. The platform uses various identifiers such as, for example, a persistence identifier (PID) to track processing events. The platform implements rules and/or permissions related to the managed data objects and/or managed entities to determine whether processing events are in compliance. The platform may update database records, send alerts, send data graphs, or provide a real-time stream related to the managed data objects and/or managed entities.
