Title: Louis Vincent Barthonet and Cloudflare’s API Security Innovation.

Introduction

Louis Vincent Barthonet is an inventor associated with Cloudflare, Inc. His patent work addresses API security in distributed cloud computing networks, focusing on recognizing sequences of API operations and mitigating potentially abusive activity.

Latest Patents

Barthonet is associated with 1 patent: “Detecting Application Programming Interface (API) Sequences and Mitigating API Sequence Abuse at the Edge of a Distributed Cloud Computing Network.” The invention describes how a compute server receiving an API request can identify the session associated with it and determine which server stores information about that session’s previous API operations. The receiving server then requests the stored sequence and obtains the most recently observed, time-ordered API operations. Using a rule based on at least two recent operations, the system can help detect and mitigate API sequence abuse at the network edge.

Career Highlights

Barthonet’s listed work connects him with Cloudflare, Inc., a company whose distributed network infrastructure provides the setting for the patented approach. The invention emphasizes coordinating session-related API history across multiple compute servers so that security decisions can account for the order of recent operations.
