  • Publication number: 20200374128
    Abstract: Distributed tiered data exchanges within a distributed trust/blockchain network are provided for. A continual and ongoing data asset transfer being conducted via a distributed ledger of the distributed trust/blockchain network is leveraged for the purpose of establishing and conducting other continuous and ongoing data asset transfers using the same distributed ledger of the distributed trust/blockchain network. The tiered nature of the asset transfers/distributions means that one distributed ledger can be established and used to conduct multiple different continuous and ongoing data assets transfers between the initial data asset transfer entities and/or other entities. As such, through the use of one distributed ledger of a distributed trust/blockchain network, a single data asset request made by a first entity (i.e., data asset transferee) may be used to make multiple different data asset distributions/transfers to one or many different entities.

  • Patent number: 10826801
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method for inspecting a data stream. The method may include conveying the data stream through a multi-level data channel and inspection architecture. The architecture includes a multi-level data pipeline. The pipeline is formed from pipes arranged serially such that each output of one pipe provides an input to a successive one of the plurality of pipes. The pipeline receives the data stream at an upstream portion of the pipeline, and inspects the data in the data stream. Thereafter, the pipeline outputs inspected data at a downstream portion of the pipeline. The outputted inspected data becomes inputted date for a successive one of the pipes. A data manager may be configured to coordinate passage of the data into and out of the pipeline, and between one or more of the group of mechanisms.

  • Patent number: 10824751
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to improved secure data storage that utilizes zoned data storage and control and/or integration of discrete data for masking the stored data. The data may be divided and stored in different zoned databases and assigned different access rights in order to separate data that is part of a larger combination of data into smaller data portions, which makes it difficult for unauthorized use of such data. Additionally, or alternatively, data that is stored within a database may be combined with other discrete data (e.g., unrelated real data) in order to mask the data being stored. As such, the masked data is more secure and less storage spaces is required due to the utilization of real data for masking. When an unauthorized requestor of the stored data is identified deterrence actions may be taken to reduce the unauthorized user's ability to access the desired data.

  • Patent number: 10754697
    Abstract: A system, method and the like for allocating computing resources to data processing services/applications based on the current or foreseen usage/load of the computing resources. The elastic nature of the computing resource grid allows for expansion or contraction of ancillary use of the computing resources depending on the data processing requirements and computer resource usage. Further, virtual binary codes are deployed on the computing resources, which are executed at the application layer and configured to be removed upon completion of a job or in the event that the usage state of the computing resource dictates such. The removal of the virtual binary codes from the computing resources provides for no residual effect on the computing resources (i.e., no code remains in computing resource memory and, as such no processing capabilities are subsequently used).
