  • Publication number: 20240121272
    Abstract: A network sanitization technology for enforcing a network edge and enforcing particular communication functions for untrusted dedicated-function devices such as IP cameras. An untrusted network device is isolated from a network by a network sanitization system such that it cannot communicate with the network. Communications from the untrusted device are intercepted by the system and only allowed communications are used. Allowed communications are used to create new communications according to an allowed framework. Sanitization device may be in small two-port package with visual indicia indicating the untrusted device and the network side. The device may use and provide PoE to device. Abstract is not to be considered limiting.

  • Publication number: 20220394020
    Abstract: A method for controlling access to data by users, where a system generates a first symmetric encryption key stream and defines a number of shares of which a number is required to calculate each of said symmetric encryption keys; a sequential portions of data being symmetrically encrypted with the symmetric encryption key; the key stream data further being asymmetrically encrypted with at least one public asymmetric encryption key that is received by the system; and transmitting the asymmetrically encrypted key stream data and said first symmetrically encrypted data file or stream comprising sequential portions of encrypted data to a data storage.

  • Publication number: 20220012668
    Abstract: A work and resource data management system, for example for managing security officers in the field, uses a blockchain data structure providing a fully immutable and cryptographically secured system, instead of a traditional database structure. Separate chains of blocks can be used for different actors, parties or resources while linking data between the various blockchains to provide a connected data structure related to each work item. The improved system may allow for being temporarily disconnected, any part of the system may branch off to an asynchronous state while disconnected and resynchronize when connection to the network is re-established. As blocks can be added and not deleted, a full history of every action that happened in the system can be retained.

  • Patent number: 8739151
    Abstract: In-service upgrade of software can be achieved efficiently when software modules pass data using message or data queues. The use of data queues facilitates the transition from a software module's old behavior to a new behavior without risking a deadlock or dropped module call. Upgradeable objects connect to process objects that maintain the queues and their state data, and upgrade objects connect to the process objects of their predecessors.
