  • Patent number: 11392348
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for ordering records. Aspects include blocking one or more records and storing the one or more blocked records as a set of records. Aspects also include reserving space for a metadata record for each of the one or more blocked records that meet one or more selection criteria and generating the metadata record for each of the one or more blocked records that meet the one or more selection criteria. Aspects further include adding the metadata records to the set of blocked records and storing the set of records including the metadata records.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11295031
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for generating, by the processor, a first event record in response to an event being performed by the computer and generating, by the processor, a first tamper resistance record in response to the first event record being generated. The first tamper resistance record includes a first signature is created based at least in part on the first event record and a second signature is created based at least in part on the first event record. Aspects also includes validating the first event record based on the first signature and the second signature in the first tamper resistance record in response to a request to detect tampering of the first event record.

  • Patent number: 11188539
    Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes generating a metadata record for each event record of a subset of a plurality of event records, the metadata record being one of a plurality of metadata records. The method further includes assigning a metadata indicator to each event record of the subset of the plurality of event records to indicate that the event record is associated with a metadata record. The method further includes assigning, for each event record of the subset of the plurality of event records and the metadata record associated therewith, a timestamp. The method further includes matching for each event record of the subset of the plurality of event records, one of the plurality of metadata records with the event record based at least in part on the metadata indicator and the timestamp.

  • Patent number: 10204177
    Abstract: A method for matching a first list of pattern strings to a second list of data strings, the first list including zero or more wildcards, may include identifying, for each pattern string in the first list, a data string in the second list corresponding with a respective one of the pattern strings. The method may further include determining whether the first list matches the second list by determining, for each pattern string in the first list, whether a respective one of the strings includes a wildcard for matching zero or more characters of a data string corresponding with the pattern string, and further performing a wildcard string comparison between the pattern string and the data string corresponding with the pattern string. The method may additionally include providing a data value indicating whether the first list matches the second list.
