  • Publication number: 20230370498
    Abstract: An inference device 10 converts configuration information of a network and information such as a security log into a predicate of the solution set programming. The inference device 10 obtains, as a solution set, a combination of predicates derived by a derivation rule from predicates obtained by conversion, and predicates not constrained by the constraint rule among predicates obtained by conversion using a method of solution set programming. The predicate of the solution set indicates, for example, whether a node included in the network is a client or a proxy.

  • Publication number: 20230308478
    Abstract: A specifying device receives an input of time-series information indicating an operation form of a domain name up to a predetermined date and time in time series. Then, the specifying device specifies a pattern of a time-series change in operation form of a domain name on the basis of pattern information indicating patterns of time-series change in operation form of the domain name and time-series information of an input domain name. The specifying device specifies candidates for the operation form of the domain name since the predetermined date and time using a result of the specifying. Thereafter, the specifying device determines whether or not the domain name is a target of a re-determination as to whether or not the domain name is a malicious domain name on the basis of the specified candidates for the operation form of the domain name since the predetermined date and time.

  • Patent number: 11403388
    Abstract: An extracting unit randomly extracts a block from among the blocks of instruction strings constituting the byte code of a first program and, at the time of execution of the first program, extracts the blocks which are invariably executed before the randomly-extracted block. A dividing unit randomly divides, into a plurality of blocks, the instruction strings constituting the byte code of a second program which enables detection of tampering of the first program. An inserting unit inserts the plurality of blocks, which are obtained by division by the dividing unit, at different positions in the block extracted by the extracting unit, while maintaining the execution sequence written in the second program.
