  • Patent number: 12284283
    Abstract: A digital object is associated with a smart contract that stores a first hash value to represent a user device used to acquire ownership of the digital object. When a request to transfer ownership of the digital object from a first user to a second user is received, a user account of the first user is accessed to retrieve information identifying a user device associated with the user account of the first user. The first hash value in the smart contract is authenticated based on the information representing the first user's device. If the first hash value is determined to match the user device information stored in the first user's account, a token representing the digital object is transferred to a wallet associated with the second user. The smart contract is updated to include a second hash value that represents a user device used by the second user to request the ownership transfer of the digital object.

  • Patent number: 12267305
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for privacy preserving document analysis are described that derive insights pertaining to a digital document without communication of the content of the digital document. To do so, the privacy preserving document analysis techniques described herein capture visual or contextual features of the digital document and creates a stamp representation that represents these features without included the content of the digital document. The stamp representation is projected into a stamp embedding space based on a stamp encoding model generated through machine learning techniques capturing feature patterns and interaction in the stamp representations. The stamp encoding model exploits these feature interactions to define similarity of source documents based on location within the stamp embedding space. Accordingly, the techniques described herein can determine a similarity of documents without having access to the documents themselves.

  • Patent number: 12229277
    Abstract: A system includes a memory and processor. The memory stores code segment vulnerability findings that were generated through static application security testing (SAST). For a first code segment, a first vulnerability finding has been classified as a real vulnerability, and a second vulnerability finding has been classified as a false positive by external review. The processor generates a code fingerprint for each code segment, which corresponds to an abstract syntax tree that has been augmented by data flow information and flattened. The processor determines that the fingerprint for the first code segment matches the fingerprint for a second code segment and that the vulnerability findings for the first code segment match those for the second. In response, the processor automatically classifies a matching first vulnerability finding for the second code segment as the real vulnerability, and a matching second vulnerability finding for the second code segment as the false positive.

  • Patent number: 12223090
    Abstract: A method for privacy preserving data processing in a linked data operating environment wherein applications have secure and permissioned access in an interoperable manner to data that is stored in one or more online data stores. The method begins by creating a privacy preserving data processing (PPDP) agent for use by an entity to process the data in association with the online data stores. The PPDP agent is then subjected to a certification process that ensures that the PPDP agent does not exfiltrate any data from the online data stores. After a successful certification, and following registration of the agent with an agent repository, a secure PPDP environment is instantiated in association with the data stores and in which the PPDP agent is then configured to execute. The PPDP agent is then executed within the secure PPDP environment over a configured security context and life-cycle of the PPDP agent.

  • Patent number: 12218964
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a remote attestation in a network. Embodiments provide a method comprising: attesting a first node in a network, by a node adjacent to the first node in the network; and generating an attestation result of the first node. A plurality of attestation results of the first node generated by a plurality of nodes adjacent to the first node in the network are combined to determine a credibility of the first node. In such embodiments, a fixed verifier for other nodes is eliminated, and a risk of a collapse due to a failure of such fixed verifier may be avoided.

  • Patent number: 12216759
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for discrete processor feature behavior collection and analysis. In aspects, a monitoring utility may initialize a set of debugging and/or performance monitoring feature sets for a microprocessor. When the microprocessor receives from software content a set of instructions that involves the loading of a set of modules or code segments, the set of modules or code segments may be evaluated by the monitoring utility. The monitoring utility may generate a process trace of the loaded set of modules or code segments. Based on the process trace output, various execution paths may be reconstructed in real-time. The system and/or API calls made by the microprocessor may then be compared to the process trace output to quickly observe the interaction between the software content and the operating system of the microprocessor.

  • Patent number: 12210650
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a data platform creates an application in a data-provider account. The application includes one or more APIs corresponding to one or more underlying code blocks. The data platform shares provider data with the application in the data-provider account, and also installs, in a data-consumer account, an application instance of the application. The application instance includes one or more APIs corresponding to the one or more APIs in the application in the data-provider account. The data platform shares consumer data with the application instance in the data-consumer account, and invokes one or more of the APIs of the application instance to execute respective associated underlying code blocks, which are not visible to the data-consumer account. The data platform also saves output of the one or more respective associated underlying code blocks locally within the data-consumer account.

  • Patent number: 12212622
    Abstract: An example method for data auditing for object storage public clouds includes a service broker receiving a request to store data in public object storage, where the request includes user information or a container image. The service broker, based on either the user information or the container image, determines that data auditing is necessary. The service broker creates a storage unit, in public object storage, and a storage proxy. The method further includes the storage proxy storing data, and a data auditor retrieving data from the storage proxy. The data auditor determines a data qualification for the data, and notifies the storage proxy of the data qualification.

  • Patent number: 12210647
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for using additive and subtractive noise for preserving the privacy of users. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a first set of genuine user group identifiers that identify user groups that include a user as a member. A second set of user group identifiers is generated for the user by removing zero or more genuine user group identifiers from the first set to generate the second set and adding, to the second set, one or more fake user group identifiers for user groups that do not include the user as a member. A probabilistic data structure is generated based on the second set of user group identifiers. The probabilistic data structure is transmitted. Data indicating a set of digital components including at least one digital component selected based on the probabilistic data structure is received.
