Patent number: 9436841Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining the confidentiality of data provided by an organization for storage on a third party database system are provided. The data can be encrypted on an internal network of the organization and sent to the third party database system for storage. The third party database system can associate metadata with the encrypted data and can store the encrypted data. Accordingly, when a request for the encrypted data is received from a computing device communicating with an internal network of the organization, the encrypted data and associated metadata can be sent to the computing device. A key that is stored on an internal network of the organization can be called through an applet, which utilizes information within the metadata to locate the key on the internal network of the organization.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Brendan T.

Patent number: 7594142Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) that relate to an architecture for automated detection and analysis of security issues are described herein. One aspect of the tools provides a watchdog application that generates fizzing signals that enable or disable fuzzing of test cases that are to be received by the watchdog application. The watchdog application also receives notifications of test cases that are to be executed on a system under test with which the watchdog application is associated. Finally, the watchdog application monitors the system under test when it is executing the test case.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Arthur J O'Leary, Robert C Fly
