Abstract: Embodiments can identify requests that may be tied to a DDOS attack. For example, the primary identifiers (e.g., a source address) of requests for a network resource (e.g., an entire website or a particular element of the website) can be tracked. In one embodiment, a statistical analysis of how often a particular source address (or other primary identifier) normally makes a request can be used to identify source addresses that make substantially more requests. A normal amount can correspond to an average number of request that a source address makes. According to some embodiments, a system can use statistical analysis methods on various request data in web server logs to identify potential attacks and send data concerned potential attacks to an HBA system for further analysis.

Abstract: Providing verification of the identity of a digital entity may include including receiving information and a public key of the digital entity, the information having been previously attested to in an attestation transaction stored within a centralized or distributed ledger at an attestation address, the centralized or distributed ledger providing a record of transactions. The system may derive an attestation address using the information and the public key of the digital entity. The system may verify the existence of the attestation transaction at the attestation address in the centralized or distributed ledger and verify that the attestation transaction has not been revoked. The processor associated with the user may receive a cryptographic challenge nonce signed by the digital entity's private key; and may verify the digital entity's identity with the cryptographic challenge nonce signed by the digital entity's key.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing authentication of information of a user are described. Upon validation of this information, a first hash function is applied to the user's information to create a hash. A public attest key is generated by combining the hash of the user's information with one or more public keys. An attestation address is generated based on the public attest key. A signed transaction which includes the attest key is communicated for storage in a centralized or distributed ledger at the attestation address.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for managing routes of data traffic within a network. The management may be performed via a graphical user interface that interacts with a Web server to update a configuration file. The configuration file can be converted to router management commands by a network management device (e.g., a BGP speaker). The commands can then be sent to border routers for controlling network traffic. Embodiments are also provided for capturing and logging routing updates made in a network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for a polarization uniqueness manipulation apparatus (PUMA) are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, an antenna apparatus (e.g., a PUMA) comprises a receive antenna to receive a signal with a first polarization. In one or more embodiments, the antenna apparatus is configured to passively modify the first polarization of the signal to a second polarization. The antenna apparatus further comprises a transmit antenna to transmit the signal with the second polarization. In at least one embodiment, the receive antenna is communicatively coupled to the transmit antenna. In one or more embodiments, the receive antenna and the transmit antenna are each separate patch antennas that are mounted on a substrate of the antenna apparatus at different orientations from one another. In at least one embodiment, the second polarization is dependent upon the different orientations of the receive antenna and the transmit antenna.

Abstract: A method of forming a castless orthotic for a patient's foot in need thereof. The method comprises preparing an orthotic template for the foot wherein the template extends between a heel end and a toe end. In preparing the template the steps of attaching a three-quarter length or full length upper thermoplastic material to a or three-quarter length lower thermoplastic material, or providing a thermoplastic material having a variable thickness such that said thickness decreases from said heel end to said toe end is provided. Then attaching an outer lower layer to the lower thermoplastic material and attaching an outer upper layer to the upper thermoplastic material, or attaching an outer layer to each face of the variable thickness thermoplastic material and heating the prepared orthotic template for a predetermined period of time at a predetermined temperature to soften the orthotic template. A wrap is then placed on top of the foot foam and the foot of the patient is placed on top of the wrap and foot foam.

Abstract: A document architecture system includes an intelligent document processing engine that can receive raw data streamed from external data source(s), analyze the raw data to identify triggering events, apply rules to the triggering events identified, break down the raw data accordingly, and generating messages in an internal format to represent the pieces of data without any formatting or layout information. The messages can be augmented with custom metadata and stored as fragments that reference, but that do not physically incorporate, the messages. The stored fragments can be used by the document process engine to intelligently render documents and versions thereof. Some embodiments store only unique fragments, resulting in a significant reduction in storage requirements and an extremely efficient way of processing huge amounts of data (e.g., millions of documents) for document production. The messages and fragments are in internal formats under control of the document architecture system.

Abstract: A system can monitor the server for indications of an attack and adjusts server settings accordingly. In response, the system can increase server tolerance in a systematic way to deal with DDoS by adjusting server settings appropriately. Conversely, when the server is not under attack, the settings can be adjusted to those for standard operations (e.g., adjusted downward), as they are more optimal for normal, non-attack operations.
