  • Patent number: 12231419
    Abstract: Methods and systems for unique session number sharing to ensure traceability are discussed herein. According to an implementation, a user sends a request to login a browser from a user equipment to a server device. The server device validates a user credential associated with the browser by comparing the user credential with pre-stored user registration information. Once the user credential is validated, the server device generates a session with a unique session number (USN) with respect to the request. The server device generates a plurality of logs with respect to the activities occurred during the session and associates the USN with each of the multiple logs. The USN is further included in an access token that authorizes the user to access the websites hosted by the browser.

  • Patent number: 12231555
    Abstract: A client communications device and method for generating a user message comprising an assertion for verification by a remote server device is described. Payload data for the user message as generated by a secure application resident on the communications device is received. Biometric authentication of the user is performed as a first level security mechanism. If biometric authentication of the user is successful, a digital signature is generated based on the message payload as a second level security mechanism. The digital signature is generated using a private signature key stored in a secure element of the client device. A third level security mechanism is applied by authenticating the user message using a secure application-specific key. In implementations, the digital signature is generated in a secure environment of the client device which has sole access to the secure element after successful biometric authentication.

  • Patent number: 12225025
    Abstract: A system retrieves from cloud storage a packet(s) sampled from network traffic detected for software deployed on a cloud instance within a cloud environment. Each packet is inspected with deep packet inspection (DPI) to determine characteristics of the packet from which the identity/type of the corresponding software are determined. The system correlates the data/metadata generated from DPI with data/metadata of other cloud resources of the cloud environment based on determining the cloud resources to which the cloud instance is related or which also support deployment/execution of the software. The correlated data/metadata are evaluated based on security policies which include criteria for characteristics of software running on the cloud infrastructure rather than criteria for cloud infrastructure configuration alone. The system thus determines whether a cloud resource complies with the security policies based at least partly on the types/characteristics of software with which it is correlated.
