  • Patent number: 12147510
    Abstract: In a method for securing a web browser, display instructions for displaying web content are received from a content server by a web browser operating on a client computing device. The web browser creates a document object using the display instructions and determines from the document object whether one or more of the display instructions meet font profiling criteria selected to identify attempts to profile font display characteristics of the web browser. Responsive to a determination that font profiling criteria are met, the web browser alters a character display of the document object and implements the document object for displaying the web content on the client computing device.

  • Patent number: 12041184
    Abstract: A process of issuing a limited-use electronic certificate. In operation, a public key infrastructure (PKI) device receives a request for an electronic certificate from an end entity. The PKI device detects an anomaly with respect to the request received from the end entity. The PKI device generates, based on the detected anomaly, a limited-use electronic certificate. The PKI then issues the limited-use electronic certificate to the end entity. When the end entity determines that the issued certificate is a limited-use certificate with limited-use attributes such as a shortened validity period or lowered assurance level, the end entity provides a visual and/or audio prompt indicating the issuance of the limited-use certificate and further including one or more corrective actions to be performed to eliminate the anomaly prior to sending a new request for an electronic certificate to the PKI device.

  • Patent number: 11960612
    Abstract: A system receives a request from a user to execute a command on an air-gapped computer system. If a role-based access control system permits the user to execute the command, the system prompts a number of approvers to determine whether to approve of the user executing the command. If a required number of approvers have approved of the user executing the command, the system encodes the command and incorporates the encoded command in an encoded message. The system uses a simplex communication output device to communicate the encoded message to a simplex communication input device for the air-gapped computer system. The system enables execution of the command by requesting the air-gapped computer system to execute the command, or by providing the user with an access token, received from the air-gapped computer system, which enables the user to physically access the air-gapped computer system and execute the command.

The edge server performs a deploying procedure to the target gateway in accordance with the flow, wherein the deploying procedure is to first read a script and a parameter of one or more function nodes included in the flow, then encapsulate the script and the parameter into a packet, and then transmit the packet to the target gateway through one of the agent modules. The target gateway receives the packet through one of the agent modules and sequentially executes the function nodes according to the content of the flow, so as to implement a corresponding IoT function.

  • Patent number: 11853932
    Abstract: Techniques for improving communication and expectation setting between various parties/communities of a crowdsourced platform are disclosed. The platform is used for reporting issues in a target system, program or product. A customer/subscriber entity enters a target brief in the platform. In response, a researcher enters a submission in the system. If the submission is valid, it is presented to the customer and a response-time or service level agreement (SLA) timer is started. If the customer agrees with the submission, it is marked as complete and the researcher is paid. If the customer disputes the submission, a third-party intervenes and the timer is paused until dispute resolution. If the submission requires more information the researcher is requested accordingly and the timer is reset. If at any point, the timer expires, the parties are notified and the submission is closed.
