Patents by Inventor Shelendra Sharma

Shelendra Sharma has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11805097
    Abstract: A network security platform (NSP) device and interaction method are disclosed. The interaction method provides network packet analysis for secure transmission protocols using ephemeral keys or keys that are negotiated dynamically. The NSP may be part of an Intrusion Protection System, or firewall. The disclosed approach does not use man-in-the-middle proxy. Instead, it includes monitoring connections ends: client and/or server, to intercept the required data or negotiated (or changed) encryption keys. Decrypted data may be sent to an NSP sensor in a secure manner for analysis. Alternatively, intercepted keys used for the encrypt/decrypt operations may be sent to an NSP sensor in a secure manner every time they are changed. The NSP sensor may then use the obtained keys to decrypt traffic prior to providing it to the inspection engines. Embodiments focused on inbound traffic to a web server may coordinate between a web server and an NSP.

  • Publication number: 20210099394
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting network and container level traffic analysis and correlation are described. An application server may receive network traffic data from a network-level data capture system and receive container-level application traffic data from a container-level data capture system. The application server may then hash the destination addresses, the time stamp information, and the data amount information from the network traffic data to create a first set of hash values and hash the destination addresses, the time stamp information, and the data amount information from the application traffic data to create a second set of hash values. The application server may then identify matching hash values from the first set of hash values and the second set of hash values and then merge into a data queue the corresponding network traffic with metadata associated with the corresponding application traffic data to create a merged data set.
