Patent number: 11481740Abstract: An apparatus comprises at least one processing device having a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to implement a first ledger node of a first cloud. The first ledger node of the first cloud is configured to communicate over one or more networks with a plurality of additional ledger nodes associated with respective additional clouds. The first ledger node is further configured to obtain a transaction associated with a valuation of a data asset. The first ledger node is further configured to broadcast the valuation transaction to the additional ledger nodes. A cryptographic block characterizing at least the valuation transaction is generated and entered into a blockchain distributed ledger collectively maintained by the first and additional ledger nodes. The first and additional ledger nodes collectively maintain the blockchain distributed ledger on a peer-to-peer basis without utilizing a centralized transaction authority.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Stephen Todd, Robert A. Lincourt, Jr., Misha Nossik, Lejin Du

Patent number: 11128437Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing device having a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to implement a first ledger node of a first cloud having a first set of cloud resources. The first ledger node of the first cloud is configured to communicate over one or more networks with a plurality of additional ledger nodes associated with respective additional clouds having respective additional sets of cloud resources, to establish a cloud resource sharing transaction with at least one of the additional ledger nodes of the additional clouds, and to generate a cryptographic block characterizing the cloud resource sharing transaction. The cryptographic block is entered into a blockchain distributed ledger collectively maintained by the first and additional ledger nodes. The first and additional ledger nodes collectively maintain the blockchain distributed ledger on a peer-to-peer basis without utilizing a centralized transaction authority.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Misha Nossik, Lejin Du

Patent number: 10609066Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a storage device having a processor coupled to a memory. The storage device incorporates at least one trap object particularly configured for use in detection of a ransomware attack and not otherwise utilized for storage of operational data in the storage device. The storage device further comprises a ransomware detector configured to monitor the trap object and to generate an alert based at least in part on a result of the monitoring. The trap object may comprise a dummy file system element of the storage device, such as, for example, a file or a directory of a file system of the storage device. Additionally or alternatively, the trap object may comprise one or more specific storage blocks of the storage device with the one or more specific storage blocks being determined at least in part by the file system of the storage device.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Misha Nossik, Yuri Berfield, Lejin Du

Patent number: 10609143Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises cloud infrastructure having at least a first cloud. The apparatus further comprises a storage system separate from the first cloud and providing persistent storage for an application and associated data. The first cloud comprises a virtual machine image having installed therein an application launcher for the application of the storage system. Responsive to a request to execute the application, the first cloud configures a virtual machine instance based on the virtual machine image to execute the application launcher. In conjunction with the execution of the application launcher, the application is loaded from the storage system into the virtual machine instance for execution. In conjunction with the execution of the application, a data proxy associated with the application communicates with the storage system to transfer portions of the data required for execution of the application into non-persistent storage of the virtual machine instance.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Misha Nossik, Lejin Du

Patent number: 10326744Abstract: An apparatus comprises at least one container host device implementing containers for respective tenants of a multi-tenant environment. The containers are configured to utilize storage resources of at least one storage platform. A given one of the containers comprises at least one application, and an application file system security layer configured to communicate with the storage platform. The application file system security layer comprises a container storage volume supported by the storage platform, and an encryption engine configured to encrypt and decrypt data of the container storage volume utilizing one or more data encryption keys that are encrypted under a tenant-specific key encryption key. The tenant-specific key encryption key is provided to the application file system security layer by a tenant key manager that is external to the container. The tenant key manager is illustratively controlled by the tenant for which the given container is implemented.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Misha Nossik, Lejin Du, Robert Anthony Lincourt, Jr., Ryan Wallner

Patent number: 10284557Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a plurality of host devices configured to support execution of applications on behalf of one or more tenants of cloud infrastructure. The apparatus further comprises a secure data proxy implemented utilizing at least one of the host devices. The secure data proxy comprises non-persistent storage configured to store data required for execution of at least one of the applications. The data is obtained by the secure data proxy from persistent storage in a storage system external to the cloud infrastructure. The secure data proxy is configured to perform cryptographic operations in conjunction with transfer of the data between the persistent storage of the external storage system and the non-persistent storage of the secure data proxy. The secure data proxy may be further configured to perform deduplication operations in conjunction with transfer of the data between the persistent storage and the non-persistent storage.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Misha Nossik, Lejin Du, Murray McCulligh
