Patent number: 11637817Abstract: A coordinating network element manages a protocol that prohibits the coordinating network element from substantively accessing data content that, at least in part, underlies received protocol-compliant requests. By one approach, these teachings provide for preventing substantive access to data information that is included within the protocol-compliant request in tokenized form, wherein the tokens are generated using secrets, at least one of which is unavailable to the coordinating network element.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Springcoin, Inc.Inventors: David William Kravitz, Mollie Zechlin Halverson, Matthew Benjamin Smith

Patent number: 11630901Abstract: A mechanism is provided for using triggered stimuli to enhance contextual information regarding detected risk events in a networked system. Embodiments monitor a system to identify risk-associated behavior, and upon detecting such behavior, can provide stimulus to a user associated with the risk-associated behavior to determine additional context behind the behavior, thereby initiating a two-way communication to acquire more information. If user response to the stimulus indicates a high risk associated with the behavior, then the system can trigger security measures to restrict the behavior. Some embodiments provide stimuli that are directly related to the nature of the risk-associated behavior, in order to better contextualize the behavior. In some embodiments, the stimuli are only applied if the risk-associated behavior presents a measure of risk above a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Forcepoint LLCInventor: Sri Koganti

Patent number: 11627136Abstract: A system can determine a set of users to access an asset of a computing device. User data for a user in the set of users is obtained. The user data can specify organizational information for the user. The system can determine a value usable to regulate access to the asset. The value can be based on the organizational information for the user, and the value can be further based on other user data attributed to another user in the set of users. Based on the determined value, the system can regulate access to the asset.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Nima Sharifi Mehr

Patent number: 11620324Abstract: An asset storage server is provided herein that assigns related files to an asset name and assigns permissions to the asset name such that related files with unrelated names can be assigned permissions independent of the file naming convention and without requiring a user to individually set the permissions of each file. The asset storage server may also generate modified versions of original file names and index a distributed object store based on the modified versions such that related files with related names are not listed in the same partition of the distributed object store. Indexing the distributed object store based on the modified versions of the original file names may reduce data retrieval latency.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Aldouby Schwartz, Jeremiah Dunham, Andrew Tunall, Jason LaPier, Dustin Encelewski, Justin Abrahms, Khawaja Shams
