Patent number: 11954203Abstract: Methods and devices for determining whether a mobile device has been compromised. The mobile device has a managed portion of memory and an unmanaged portion of memory, a managed profile and an unmanaged profile, and the managed profile includes files stored in the managed portion of memory and the unmanaged profile includes files stored in the unmanaged portion of memory. The managed profile is governed by a device policy set by a remote administrator. File tree structure information for the unmanaged profile of the mobile device is obtained that details at least a portion of a tree-based structure of folders and files in the unmanaged portion of memory. It is determined from the file tree structure information that the mobile device has been compromised and, based on that determination, an action is taken.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Chang Fung Yang, Robert Joseph Lombardi, Chi Hing Ng, Johnathan George White

Publication number: 20230224307Abstract: Methods and devices for determining whether a mobile device has been compromised. File tree structure information for the mobile device is obtained that details at least a portion of a tree-based structure of folders and files in a portion of memory. The file tree structure information is analyzed to determine that the mobile device has been compromised, has not been compromised, or might be compromised. Based on determining that the mobile device might be compromised, the mobile device is instructed to execute a restricted action. If the restricted action occurs on the mobile device then it is determined that the mobile device has been compromised. Based on that determination, an action is taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Chang Fung YANG, Robert Joseph LOMBARDI, Chi Hing NG, Johnathan George WHITE

Patent number: 11386229Abstract: As vehicles collect more data in autonomous or semi-autonomous operation, the collected data such as video, navigation and telemetry data, can containing personally identifiable information (PII). The PII may be governed by specific handling requirements or privacy policies. In order to comply with these requirements and policies a method, system and computer readable memory are provided for determining a location of a vehicle to enable determination of an enforcement policy associated with the location of the vehicle. The enforcement policy defines one or more PII objects that are to be filtered from the vehicle data. The PII objects contained within the vehicle data can then be filtered such that the PII objects are not identifiable. The filtered data can then be stored or transmitted to a remote location.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Neil Patrick Adams, Jasmin Mulaosmanovic, Robert Joseph Lombardi

Patent number: 11379610Abstract: An automatic file encryption method and device for automatically encrypting a file. A processor identifies a characteristic associated with likely sensitive content based on a usage pattern of encrypting files having the characteristic. Creation of a new file is detected and the newly-created file is analyzed to determine whether the file contains sensitive content based upon it having the characteristic. If the file is found to have the characteristic, then the file is automatically encrypted.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Neil Patrick Adams, Robert Joseph Lombardi, Jasmin Mulaosmanovic

Patent number: 11170082Abstract: A method of operation and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided for a mobile communications device which includes memory storing program instructions and a processor coupled to a first input that passively collects input data and a second input that collects response data based on a challenge. A statistical behavioral model is generated based upon passively collected input data for the user. A level of assurance (LOA) is determined based upon the statistical behavioral model and the passively collected input data from the first input. The LOA is compared with a threshold and based on the comparison: the mobile device operation is enabled as a result of determining that the LOA meets or exceeds the threshold without requiring response data from the at least one second input, otherwise, the challenge is generated and the mobile device operation is enabled responsive to valid response data from the second input.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Michael Andrew Goldsmith, Aleksandar Papo, Robert Joseph Lombardi, Jasmin Mulaosmanovic, Nazih Almalki, Brian Everett McBride, Peter Mark Rabinovitch
