  • Patent number: 12107868
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying the true identity of senders of messages, for example based on hardware identifiers and other information, such as timestamps and/or register-transfer level licenses. In some cases, a hyper ledger provides a protocol for combining information such as hardware identifiers (for example silicon identification information) with other information and logic instructions to generate ledger identifications. Embodiments can be used to authorize transmission of messages, such as SMS or RCS messages, and to provide an archive or message information. In some cases, messages from certain domains can be aggregated for routing.

  • Publication number: 20240276221
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for artificial intelligence-based filtering of user devices on a wireless network. Upon a request from a user device to access a requested network service, a trustlet executed in a trusted execution environment of the user device is activated. The trustlet provides data associated with the user device. The data is used to distinguish normal from anomalous device behavior. Analysis of the data can be facilitated by an artificial intelligence module. Based on the analysis, the requested network service may be selectively authorized or prohibited. Additionally, the trustlet can be activated while a network service is being utilized by a user device to detect anomalous and potentially deceptive activity.

  • Patent number: 11997535
    Abstract: A method for delivering a network slice to a user is disclosed. The method includes receiving communication from a network slice artifact comprising a multi-segment filename that includes a first segment comprising instructions for executing the network slice artifact, and a second segment comprising an identity of a network slice instantiable by the network slice artifact. The method also includes retrieving a set of executable instructions associated with the network slice from a data store of the network in response to receiving the communication from the network slice artifact, and communicating the set of executable instructions to the network slice artifact whereby the network slice artifact instantiates the network slice transforming the computer system into an endpoint node of the network slice. The method further includes completing the instantiation of the network slice in response to receiving the communication from the network slice artifact.

  • Patent number: 11755741
    Abstract: A method of boot-loading an electronic device. The method comprises boot-loading a trusted execution environment (TEE) in a trusted security zone of a processor of the electronic device, where the TEE boot-loads before a rich execution environment (REE) boot-loads, launching a boot-loader authentication application by the TEE in the trusted security zone, determining a signature value of an REE boot-loader by the boot-loader authentication application over the instructions of the REE boot-loader, comparing the signature value of the REE boot-loader to an authentication signature value stored in the TEE, and, in response to the signature value of the REE boot-loader not matching the authentication signature value, taking action by the boot-loader authentication application.

  • Patent number: 11540345
    Abstract: A data connection recovery system is disclosed that includes a data connection management platform configured to monitor a status of a data connection of a wireless communication device with a wireless network. In response to a determination that the data connection is nonfunctional, the data connection management platform is configured to initiate a command to the wireless communication device via a control plane of the wireless network commanding the wireless communication device to switch to a different network slice in a user plane of the wireless network. The system also includes a remote device manager on the wireless communication device configured to receive the command and to initiate establishment of a new data connection with the wireless network via the different network slice in response to the command. The wireless communication device transmits data via the new data connection.

  • Patent number: 11456893
    Abstract: A method of configuring a computing service on a virtual network with a multi-segment filename. The method comprises requesting an encrypted file by an application executing on a computer by providing a hash filename extracted from a multi-segment filename, wherein the multi-segment filename comprises a unique delimiter between each of the segments of the multi-segment filename, wherein each segment comprises one of a hash filename, a plain text instruction, or plain text content. The application organizes a network slice with one or more VNFs from coded instructions in a segment of the multi-segment filename. The application constructs the computing service within the VNF by transferring one or more executables, the data file, and one or more artifacts decrypted from hash filenames saved within the multi-segment filename to the network slice.

  • Patent number: 11005757
    Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC). The NIC includes a first physical port, a second physical port, a non-transitory memory, a processor coupled to the first and second physical ports, and a data packet grooming application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the application is configured to parse datagrams encapsulated within data link layer packets received by the first physical port, analyze the encapsulated datagrams based on a processing policy stored in the non-transitory memory, transmit some of the received data link layer packets via the second physical port to a server computer associated with the NIC, and transmit the remainder of the received data link layer packets via the first physical port to a second server computer.
