Patent number: 11514409Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to security settlement in financial markets and cryptographic currencies. Particular portions of the present disclosure are directed to a cryptographic currency protocol and to a cryptographic currency that includes a positional item. The cryptographic currency protocol supports a virtual wallet that, in various embodiments, is a security and cash account for storing and managing the cryptographic currency. Opening a transaction via the virtual wallet to transfer the cryptographic currency is a strong guarantee of the availability of funds in the virtual wallet because, e.g., funds are not transacted unless the commit phase is successful.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLCInventors: Paul Walker, Phil J. Venables

Patent number: 10574685Abstract: A system, method, and device are presented for assessing a target network's vulnerability to a real cyberthreat based on determining policy-based synthetic tests configured to model the behavior of the cyberthreat. Real-time feedback from the target network (e.g., servers, desktops, and network/monitoring hardware and/or software equipment) are received, analyzed, and used to determine whether any modifications to the same or a new synthesized test is preferred. The technology includes self-healing processes that, using the feedback mechanisms, can attempt to find patches for known vulnerabilities, test for unknown vulnerabilities, and configure the target network's resources in accordance with predefined service-level agreements.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLCInventors: David Vallone, Peter Taylor, Phil J. Venables, Ruoh-Yann Huang
