  • Patent number: 10841277
    Abstract: A system and method includes an operational network that communicates with an external network by opening a first transmission protocol socket. A data diode coupled to the operational network and a gateway enables the one-way transfer of all information received from the external network and transmitted by the operational network to the gateway such that no information travels from the gateway to the operational network or the external network. The gateway opens a second transmission protocol socket by mapping a sequence number to an acknowledgement number and increasing that mapped acknowledgement number by a value of one. A transmitter then transmits the acknowledgment to a remote network or a gateway.

  • Publication number: 20150348143
    Abstract: System and method for computing price values associated with vehicle history attributes including a vehicle history database with vehicle history records, a transaction database, a vehicle history knowledge determination module adapted to determine whether a sale transaction related to a transaction record occurred with buyer's knowledge of the vehicle history attributes associated with the vehicle of the transaction record and to classify each transaction record based on whether buyer possessed knowledge of the vehicle history attributes, and a price adjustment module adapted to determine price values for the vehicle history attributes based on the vehicle history datasets and classification of the plurality of transaction records. In accordance with one aspect, the present invention may be implemented as a computer readable medium with instructions.

  • Patent number: 8756693
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product are provided to recognize malware in a computing environment having at least one computer. A sample is received. An automatic determination is made by the at least one computer to determine if the sample is malware using static analysis methods. If the static analysis methods determine the sample is malware, dynamic analysis methods are used by the at least one computer to automatically determine if the sample is malware. If the dynamic analysis methods determine the sample is malware, the sample is presented to a malware analyst to adjudicate the automatic determinations of the static and dynamic analysis. If the adjudication determines the sample is malware, a response action is initiated to recover from or mitigate a threat of the sample.
