  • Patent number: 11856102
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to proxies configured to handle identity and access management for a web application. For instance, a second proxy receives requests to the application from a browser. The second proxy redirects the browser to an identity endpoint, which prompts the user to enter authentication credentials for the application. Upon successful authentication, the endpoint provides an access token for accessing web APIs to the second proxy. The second proxy provides the token to a first proxy, which stores the token. The first proxy receives anonymous API calls from the web application to the web APIs. When receiving an anonymous API call, the first proxy obtains the token and inserts it into an outgoing request to the API. Responsive to the API returning a message indicating that the token is invalid, the first proxy communicates with the second proxy to obtain a new token from the endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11822688
    Abstract: The variable domain data access control system and method described herein use the same variable domain to describe a data security model and a variable domain data model, such as a product configuration model. A variable domain is a set of resource data that can be described using a logical relationship data structure. The variable domain utilizes logical relationship expressions, such as a Boolean logic language, to define resource data in terms of parts, rules and/or attributes, and any other property that can be accessed for viewing, manipulation, or other purposes. The data security model represents an access control list (ACL) that includes security attributes as resource data and uses the same data structure and logical relationship expressions as an associated variable domain data model. An application, such as a configuration engine, can be used to create controlled access to the variable domain data model using the data security model.

  • Patent number: 11823197
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for authenticating a user by generating a customized set of authentication questions based on spending patterns that are automatically detected and extracted from user data. The user data may include transaction data collected over a period of time that may indicate the types of merchants that a user frequently transacts with. By automatically detecting user patterns that correspond to user behavior over a period of time, an authentication system may be able to generate authentication questions about those spending patterns that are easily answerable to an authentic user but difficult to guess or circumvent for any other user.

  • Patent number: 11816575
    Abstract: Deep learning training service framework mechanisms are provided. The mechanisms receive encrypted training datasets for training a deep learning model, execute a FrontNet subnet model of the deep learning model in a trusted execution environment, and execute a BackNet subnet model of the deep learning model external to the trusted execution environment. The mechanisms decrypt, within the trusted execution environment, the encrypted training datasets and train the FrontNet subnet model and BackNet subnet model of the deep learning model based on the decrypted training datasets. The FrontNet subnet model is trained within the trusted execution environment and provides intermediate representations to the BackNet subnet model which is trained external to the trusted execution environment using the intermediate representations. The mechanisms release a trained deep learning model comprising a trained FrontNet subnet model and a trained BackNet subnet model, to the one or more client computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11818566
    Abstract: Multi-RAT UEs currently have 2 independent paths to authenticate with HSS (e.g., via the MME or the 3GPP AAA Server causing repeated authentication messages to HSS). The use of one unified authentication path between the UE and HSS for Small Cell and Wi-Fi authentication is described. First, a new 3GPP EPC-TWAN interworking architecture has the MME manage all the authentication requests from multi-RAT UEs. Second, new unified authentication procedures are added, which allow the ISWN-based multi-RAT UE to be authenticated directly with the HSS, irrespective of its current access network (TWAN or HeNB). Third, new fast re-authentication procedures for Inter-RAT handover scenarios are done. Finally, the needed extensions to the various standard protocol messages to execute the authentication procedures are described.

  • Patent number: 11818173
    Abstract: For connection establishment, a system allocates memory that will be occupied by the data and handshake sub-protocol infrastructure that facilitates establishing a TLS connection. After connection establishment, the system allocates memory space for the data and record sub-protocol infrastructure that facilitates the asynchronous communication of application traffic. The memory space for the TLS session (i.e., the communication information separate from the handshake) has a substantially smaller footprint than the memory space for the TLS handshake. The TLS handshake memory space can be released and recycled for other connections while application communications use the smaller memory space allocated and populated with the TLS session data and infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 11816231
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using machine-learning models to determine graduated levels of access to secured data for remote devices. In some embodiments, a computing platform may establish a connection with a mobile device. Subsequently, based on establishing the connection, the platform may identify initial device information, device features, and user information. The platform may input the identified information into an authentication model to compute a baseline authentication score and then may identify an initial level of access to secured resources for the mobile device. Thereafter, the platform may receive from the mobile device, AR/VR device information captured by the mobile device. The platform may input the AR/VR device information into the authentication model to compute an augmented authentication score. Based on the augmented score, the platform may identify an augmented level of access to secured resources for the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11811740
    Abstract: Existing approaches to security within network, for instance oneM2M networks, are limited. For example, content might only be protected while the content is in transit between entities that trust each other. Here, the integrity and the confidentiality of content in an M2M network are protected. Such content may be “at rest,” such that the content is stored at a hosting node. Only authorized entities may store and retrieve the data that is stored at the hosting node, and the data may be protected from a confidentiality perspective and an integrity perspective.
