Patent number: 12381857Abstract: A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting original data into portions of data, that may be communicated using multiple communications paths.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2023Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: Security First Innovations, LLCInventors: Mark S. O'Hare, Rick L. Orsini, Roger S. Davenport, Steven Winick

Publication number: 20240273231Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein transparently provide data security using a cryptographic file system layer that selectively intercepts and modifies (e.g., by encrypting) data to be stored in a designated directory. The cryptographic file system layer can be used in combination with one or more cryptographic approaches to provide a server-based secure data solution that makes data more secure and accessible, while eliminating the need for multiple perimeter hardware and software technologies.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Mark S.

Publication number: 20230237037Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for concept creation, and more specifically to creating concepts in an automized process using data processing rules. A system can, upon receiving a request to generate a new concept data structure, receive data from a database and data sets. The system can then execute data processing rules on the data, resulting in processed data, and index and normalize that data. Using the index and the data processing rules, the system can organize the normalized data into a plurality of categories and create the new concept structure using the data processing rules, the index, and the categorized data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: CONQ, Inc.Inventors: Mark S.

Publication number: 20230237279Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating concept data structures, and more specifically to forming a concept data structure which relies on a combination of text and visual data. A system can receive, from a user, a concept, along with instructions to generate a concept data structure around the concept. The system can then receive from a data set documents containing data associated with the concept. These documents are parsed, resulting in structured text. The system can also receive (from the same or another data set) images associated with the concept. These images are analyzed, resulting in image data. The system then generates a concept data structure using the parsed, structured text and the image data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: CONQ, IncInventors: Mark S.

Publication number: 20220131696Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securely sharing data. A processor forms two or more shares of a data set encrypted with a symmetric key, the data set associated with a first user device, and causes the encrypted data set shares to be stored separately from each other in at least one remote storage location. The processor generates first and second encrypted keys by encrypting data indicative of the symmetric key with a first asymmetric key of first and second asymmetric key pairs associated with the first user device and a second user device, respectively, and causes the encrypted key to be stored in the at least one storage location. To restore the data set, a predetermined number of the two or more encrypted data set shares and at least one of the second asymmetric keys of the first and second asymmetric key pairs are needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Applicant: Security First Corp.Inventors: Mark S.

Publication number: 20220075534Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein transparently provide an improved scalable cloud-based dynamically adjustable or configurable storage volume. In one aspect, a gateway provides a dynamically or configurably adjustable storage volume, including a local cache. The storage volume may be transparently adjusted for the amount of data that needs to be stored using available local or cloud-based storage. The gateway may use caching techniques and block clustering to provide gains in access latency compared to existing gateway systems, while providing scalable off-premises storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Applicant: SECURITY FIRST CORP.Inventors: Mark S.
