Publication number: 20230325513Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a storage medium for detecting vulnerabilities in software to protect a computer system from security and compliance breaches are provided. The method includes providing a ruleset code declaring programming interfaces of a target framework and including rules that define an admissible execution context when invoking the programming interfaces, providing a source code to be scanned for vulnerabilities; compiling the source code into a first execution code having additional instructions inserted to facilitate tracking of an actual execution context of the source code, compiling the ruleset code into a second execution code that can be executed together with the first execution code, executing the first execution code within an virtual machine and passing calls of the programming interfaces to the second execution code, and detecting a software vulnerability when the actual execution context disagrees with the admissible execution context.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: VIRTUAL FORGE GmbHInventors: Hans-Christian Esperer, Yun Ding, Thomas Kastner, Markus Schumacher

Patent number: 10025688Abstract: Comprehensive techniques identify data leaks in software applications using Asset Flow Analysis (AFA) to determine whether critical data leaves a system through an exit point such that the data is no longer protected by mechanisms of the system. A novel data extrusion mechanism makes use of a relevant subset of all the possible data paths detected by AFA using a knowledge base of critical business functions and critical database content. The system checks if any code performs read access to critical business data and subsequently transfers this data beyond the control limits of the target system. The knowledge base can be extended by configuring which database content is to be regarded as critical in any given organization. The approach is particularly valuable in protecting systems that manipulate, distribute, or store sensitive information associated with financial, business, or personal data, including SAP® ABAP™ software applications.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2012Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Virtual Forge GmbHInventors: Andreas Wiegenstein, Markus Schumacher, Xu Jia

Patent number: 9270481Abstract: A communication system which has a PROFINET IRT system with first communication devices for isochronous transmission. A special IRT bridge device is created, so that a traditional standard Ethernet communication device can also transmit real time-critical data over the PROFINET IRT system. The bridge device has a timer, which is synchronized in time with the timers of the first communication devices. In addition, a device for analysis of the transmission point in time of a real time-critical data telegram received by the communication device and a control unit are provided, such that the control unit controls the forwarding of the respective real time-critical data telegram to at least one second communication device as a function of the analyzed transmission point in time.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20150336680Abstract: A tank system for the cryogenic storage of hydrogen includes a tank structure with at least one hollow body for accommodating liquid hydrogen and at least one insulating means, which encloses the tank structure, for insulating the at least one hollow body. The tank structure has an exterior shape that is integrateable in a load-bearing primary structure of an aircraft. The tank structure is load bearing and is designed to at least partially absorb a load introduced into the primary structure. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly efficient design of an aircraft in which the fuselage of the aircraft is not divided into two parts by the hydrogen tank integrated therein, can be arranged near the center of gravity, and essentially does not increase the additional weight of the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2015Publication date: November 26, 2015Applicant: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Markus Schumacher, Claus Hoffjann, Frank Lehmberg

Patent number: 8469310Abstract: The idea of the present invention is that an airfreight container according to the invention, which is designed especially for an unpressurized cargo hold of an aircraft, comprises an airtight and pressure-tight container housing with a container interior space for accommodating airfreight goods. This airfreight container furthermore comprises an internal compressed air generating device which is designed for independently generating compressed air for supplying the container interior space with compressed air. The concept according to the invention of an at least partly autonomous airfreight container, which is created as a result, provides that the airfreight container according to the invention, in addition to the pure bundling of goods, now provides, moreover, different supply systems, such as the device for compressed air generation and compressed air provision, corresponding to the specific requirements.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Daniel Glaser, Oliver Thomaschewski, Peter Theis, Alexander Wieser, Andrew Muin, Markus Schumacher
