Patent number: 10721079Abstract: In representative embodiments, architectures to improve security through use of an anomaly score are disclosed. A set of cryptographic key material is used to create a model based on a dimensionality reduction and a density estimation that captures the expected behavior of the set of cryptographic key material. An anomaly score for presented cryptographic key material is calculated based on the model. The anomaly score represents the divergence from expectations for the presented cryptographic key material. The anomaly score can be used by a relying system to determine whether to trust the presented cryptographic key material. In this way, cryptographic key material that is valid can be tested to determine whether the cryptographic key material should be trusted even though it is valid.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Venafi, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Woods, Remo Ronca

Publication number: 20200195435Abstract: In representative embodiments, systems and methods to calculate the likelihood that presented cryptographic key material is untrustworthy are disclosed. A predictive model based on a debasing condition and a dataset is created by evaluating the dataset relative to the debasing condition. For example, if certificate revocation is selected as the debasing condition, the dataset is analyzed to produce a predictive model that determines the likelihood that a presented certificate is untrustworthy based on similarity to already revoked certificates. The predictive model can include a supervised learning model like a logistic regression model or a deep neural network model. The system can be used in conjunction with existing security infrastructures or can be used as a separate infrastructure. Based on the likelihood score calculated by the model, a relying system can reject the cryptographic key material, accept the cryptographic key material or take other further action.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Matthew Woods, Remo Ronca

Patent number: 10611287Abstract: The application discloses integrated air suspension and platform lifting systems that utilize an existing air supply for lifting one or more platforms installed in a trailer or hauling vehicle. An apparatus for lifting a rear gate or platform of a trailer or a hauling vehicle is disclosed that includes an actuating mechanism operable to pivot the platform between a lowered position (e.g., where the end of the platform is in contact with the ground) and a range of raised positions (e.g., where the platform is raised to meet an elevated platform such as a loading dock). The lifting mechanisms for raising and lowering the platform(s) may utilize a pressurized gas supply from a compressor. In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism may be supplied with pressurized air from a compressor of a brake system of a tractor. In some embodiments a separate locking mechanism is provided to hold the platform in place after the lifting system has moved it into a desired position.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Inventors: Mark Woods, Matthew Woods
