  • Patent number: 11909770
    Abstract: Providing an accurate and on-demand status of audit compliance is disclosed. A security policy, agreed upon by a service provider and a service user, is provisioned in a compliance log. A service provider requests to add a first update to the compliance log, the first update indicating that a compliance action has been taken. The first update is added to the compliance log, and a first computational digest of the compliance log is added after adding the first update. An auditor of the compliance action requests to add a second update to the compliance log. The second update is added to the compliance log, and a second computational digest of the compliance log is added after adding the second update. Thereby, the user is provided a more current view of audit compliance that that can be trusted based on the tamper-proof compliance log.

  • Patent number: 10764613
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s) obtains a request, from a first client, to stream selected content, uploaded by a second client, on a streaming media platform. The processor(s) identifies a similarity between metadata associated with the selected content and metadata associated with relevant additional content uploaded to the streaming media platform, by a third client. The metadata associated with the selected content and the metadata associated with the relevant additional content describe elements in the selected content and the relevant additional content identified, based on the processor(s) performing a content analysis of the selected content and the relevant additional content. The processor(s) selects the relevant additional content to provide to the first client, with the selected content, based on the similarity. The processor(s) displays the relevant additional content with the selected content on a viewer on the first client.
