Publication number: 20240412175Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media of exchanging digital assets using a public key cryptography framework. One method includes encrypting at least one digital asset on an internal ledger and storing the encrypted at least one digital asset on an internal ledger. The method further includes receiving a signed exchange request signed by a first key corresponding with an encrypted digital asset on the internal ledger and providing, to an inter-provider ledger, a second key based on interfacing with the inter-provider ledger based on establishing a first data feed. The method further includes determining the signed exchange request was verified. The method further includes updating a central ledger by interfacing with of the central ledger via an application programming interface (API) based on establishing a second data feed and wherein at least one of a plurality of fields of the encrypted digital asset is a universal field.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Ashish B.

Patent number: 12130914Abstract: Applications and processes executing on an endpoint are monitored to identify behavior indicative of malicious activity such as a ransomware attack. Messages generated from this monitoring as well as messages derived from external sources are stored in a queue for routing. A router selects some messages from the queue based on a routing policy and sends them to a cloud-based platform that can initiate various actions based on received messages. The router also sends some messages from the queue to a module that analyzes the messages and reduces their size by aggregating, correlating, and detecting relevant information. The module puts the modified messages back into the queue for further routing by the router according to the policy. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2024Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Halcyon Tech, Inc.Inventors: Robert Bushner, Alejandro Espinoza, Kristen Lamb, Seagen Levites, Clark Lindsey, Jonathan Miller, Peter Morgan, Michael Mullin, Ryan Smith, Vu Ta, Seva Tonkonoh, Timothy West
