Patent number: 11868445Abstract: A central asset registry and associated satellite registries tie Digital Asset Management (DAM) repositories and satellite repositories into a unified enterprise system. The system removes rights and asset relationship tracking from the DAMs and the satellites by gathering asset metadata tags and capturing digital asset rights and relationships between assets to improve speed, scalability, and flexibility in analyzing and traversing networks of rights and relationships of digital assets. The central asset registry and the satellite registries use a pluggable architecture and track and store multi-dimensional relationships as an asset hierarchy. The asset hierarchy and rights model depicts rights and relationship data between the assets and provides a flexible array of asset types and properties for addition of new assets, new asset types, and new rights without re-factoring the other data, nodes, and edges. The system uses asset metadata to create edge relationships between the assets.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventors: Beth Jackson, William C. Hurst, Chris Goodacre, Melissa Roberts, Lisa Seeto, Pedro Lopez, Jarrod Clift, Brant Boehmann, Dennis Killingsworth

Patent number: 11853449Abstract: A data processing method based on secure multi-party computation, an electronic device and a storage medium are disclosed. The data processing method requires firstly obtaining original confidential data and shared key information from a data holding terminal; performing a first encrypting process to the original confidential data based on the shared key information to generate original encrypted data; and then sending the original encrypted data to a node server. Further, the node server obtains a plurality of pieces of the original encrypted data, and performs a service parsing process to generate encrypted result data, and sends the encrypted result data to a data reconstruction terminal. Furthermore, the data reconstruction terminal obtains the encrypted result data and the shared key information, and performs a reconstructing process to the encrypted result data according to the encrypted result data and the shared key information to obtain service result data.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Harbin Institute of Technology, (Shenzhen) (Shenzhen Int'l Technical Innovation Rearch Institute)Inventors: Ximing Fu, Chuanyi Liu, Mo Li

Patent number: 11849049Abstract: Secure patching of an operating system of the integrated circuit chip. A patch server encrypts a patch to the operating system of the integrated circuit chip and transmits the encrypted patch to an issuing-authority server. The issuing-authority server appends the encrypted patch into a digital certificate in an extension to the digital certificate and transmits the digital certificate including the encrypted patch to a terminal. The terminal transmits the digital certificate the integrated circuit chip. The integrated circuit chip recovers the extension to the second digital certificate and decrypts the extension using a decryption key of the manufacturer of the integrated circuit chip thereby recovering the patch to the operating system of the integrated circuit chip and installs the patch into the operating system of the integrated circuit chip.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2019Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: THALES DIS FRANCE SASInventors: Sébastien Chapellier, Mario Lucas Ranti, Jervis Wang-Zw, Yong Jie Foo
