A query received from a requesting entity is determined to involve at least one query function that accesses a subset of the first data. Compliance data is generated by determining whether the query complies with the first set of query rules. When the compliance data indicates the query complies with the first set of query rules, a query result is for the query based on execution of the query, and the query result is transmitted to the requesting entity. The query result is not transmitted to the requesting entity when the compliance data indicates the query does not comply with the first set of query rules.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Ocient Holdings LLCInventors: S.

Patent number: 11080416Abstract: A server kernel processing system receives an input/output (I/O) request from a user mode computing environment. The I/O request is analyzed to determine whether it is a modification request to modify data in a target volume. If so, target analysis logic determines whether the request is for a target volume that is within a first or second protected volume. If the request is to modify data stored in the first protected volume, the request is blocked. If the request is to modify data in a second protected volume, then a whitelist is examined to determine whether the requesting process and user are on the whitelist. If not, the request is also blocked.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Microsoft technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dhananjay Ramakrishnappa, Gregory Irving Thiel, Manoharan Kuppusamy, Yogesh Bansal

Patent number: 11029891Abstract: Techniques are provided for storing data in a distributed storage system. A server stores an object according to a first storage policy in the distributed storage system that includes a plurality of storage nodes. Storing the object according to the first storage policy results in a first storage overhead for the object. The server receives a triggering event associated with the object, and the triggering event changes an attribute of the object. In response to the triggering event, the server identifies a second storage policy for the object. Storing the object according to the second storage policy results in a second storage overhead for the object different from the first storage overhead.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Andre Jean-Marie Surcouf, Guillaume Ruty, Mohammed Joseph Hawari, Aloys Augustin

Patent number: 11016973Abstract: In some aspects, there is provided a method for database query execution planning. In some aspects, a method may include receiving, at a database execution engine, a query; generating, by the database execution engine, a query algebra for the query, the query algebra optimized by a query optimizer at the database execution engine; generating, based on the optimized query algebra, a query plan for execution, the query plan including pre-compiled code and code generated just-in-time; and executing, by the database execution engine, at least part of the query plan including pre-compiled code and code generated just-in-time. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Till Merker, Timm Steinbeck, Paul Willems, Oliver Horn, Joerg Fellmann

Patent number: 11005850Abstract: In an embodiment of the present invention, a command for performing a database operation with respect to a table of a database is received, whereby the table has a visible key column for identification information and one or more invisible token columns for token information. The user's role from the command is obtained. A record is identified in the table based on a combination of the identification information and the token information corresponding to the user's role. The database operation is performed on the identified record.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Hao Feng, Shuo Li, Shengyan Sun, Xin Ying Yang

Patent number: 10997312Abstract: The described implementations relate to an access control framework for a database system. One implementation can receive, from a user, a request for data that identifies a resource, such as a view that obtains data from a database. The implementation can check the identity of the user to identify user roles associated with the user. The implementation can identify an access policy that is associated with the resource, and a rule that is associated with the access policy and applies to the user roles associated with the user. The rule can be applied to the request for data using attributes of the access policy. For example, if the request for data is a query on a view, the query can be rewritten to apply the rule.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2016Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yi Miao, Mahmood G.

Patent number: 10990467Abstract: Synchronization techniques for computing systems that interface with external service providers. A method for accessing status and other attributes of an external service provider commences upon identifying an external service such as a firewall appliance or backup repository that provides computing-related functions to computing entities of the computing system. One or more access mechanisms such as an application programming interface is exposed to the external service. The external service is registered with the computing system to use the access mechanism. When the external service detects a change of its state, the external service can communicate that change to the computing system through a “push” operation. The computing system processes the “pushed” data from the external service by verifying the status of the registration and authorization permissions, and then modifies one or more entity attributes of the computing resource entity.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Ranjan Parthasarathy, Binny Sher Gill

Patent number: 10984022Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a set of objects for creating clusters based on a similarity measure between the objects and generates a data structure for the objects. The method generates link counts for objects by constructing links between objects in the set of objects based on entries between the objects. A link is constructed between the objects when the entry for the respective objects includes a first value. An object is selected that has a largest link count. The link count being a number of objects that are linked to the selected object. A cluster is created including the selected object and any objects that are linked to the selected object via the links. Then, the objects in the cluster are removed from the set of objects and a link count is reduced for objects that are linked to the removed objects. This process is continued for remaining objects.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Konstantin Skodinis, Matthias Schmitt

Patent number: 10979438Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing, and enforcing policies on data security. A policy appliance includes a policy administration point, a policy decision point, a policy enforcement point and, optionally, an auditing module. The policy appliance can execute in a self-contained environment, e.g., a single virtual machine, a single physical machine, or a cluster of virtual machines or physical machines identically configured. The self-contained policy appliance can receive, manage, enforce and audit multiple policies that specify access privileges of multiple users on multiple databases. The databases can include heterogeneous databases that are configured separately and differently from one another. A single configuration of the policy appliance centralizes and unifies policy management of the heterogeneous database in the self-contained environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin L.
