Security enhancement herein primarily relate to digital code undergoing a first fortification protocol by which a digital package is prepared, a secure execution environment being configured for use with the package at or via a source facility, and at least some of the package being executed in in the secure execution environment at a destination facility. Such enhanced configurations may arrive to or from a remote facility, for example, without a concomitant loss of performance.

Encrypted to be executed software code and execution environment apparatuses, systems, and methods

In some variants computing systems and methods are described in regard to protecting a first function in a first computing environment by proactively and selectively recording artifacts that support the function, thus allowing a computing environment to retrieve the older artifacts even after newer versions are implemented. Such proactive retention allows a restoration of or other reliable access to the function, even after attacks or other unnoticed changes to the function, optionally as a component of a software migration to a safer computing environment.

Enhanced version retention systems and methods

The present invention relates to methods and systems for binary scrambling, and applications for cybersecurity technology aimed at preventing cyber-attacks.

Pure binary scrambling

The present invention relates to methods and systems for distributing scrambled binaries, binary scrambling, and applications for cybersecurity technology aimed at preventing cyber-attacks.

Distribution of scrambled binary output using a randomized compiler

Provided is a single repository for capturing, connecting, sharing, and visualizing information based on a geographic location, for example. Provided is a schema, repository, index, and APIs for any information, place, entity, attribute, service or person that can be referenced geographically. A system to provide real time image data includes an input component that receives image data associated with a specific geographic area, a splitter component that splits the image data into at least two quadrants, and a storage component that stores at least a portion of the at least two quadrants. Also provides is on-line or real-time advertising based on a user's mapped location and/or a user preference.

Obtaining and displaying virtual earth images

Methods and systems for binary scrambling

A debugging system may display snapshot information that may be collected in response to an event identified while an application executes. The debugging system may allow a user to browse the various data elements in the snapshot, and may allow the user to modify a snapshot configuration by including or excluding various data elements within the snapshot data. The user interface may have a mechanism for including or excluding data elements that may be presented during browsing, as well as options to change the events that may trigger a snapshot. The updated snapshot configuration may be saved for future execution when the event conditions are satisfied.

Inserting snapshot code into an application

Input sequence information may be analyzed and quantified using n-gram analysis of inputs received by an application. The sequences of inputs may be represented by n-grams, and the frequency of the various n-grams may indicate the 'real world' uses of the application in production, which may be compared to a test suite whose coverage may be quantified using a similar n-gram analysis. A coverage factor may compare the observed inputs to the application in production to the test suite for the application. The n-grams may be further quantified or prioritized by resource utilization and several visualizations may be generated from the data.

N-gram analysis of inputs to a software application

Visualizing execution of an application in a trace coverage graph includes receiving module trace data gathered during execution of an executable module. The module trace data includes data representing sequences of execution between individual executable components. A trace coverage graph is generated and displayed from the module trace data. The trace coverage graph includes graph nodes that each correspond to a different executable component. The trace coverage graph also includes graph edges that each visually connects two of the graph nodes. Each graph edge visually indicates an amount of trace data present for the sequence of execution between the graph nodes that are connected by the graph edge. Thicker graph edges represent the presence of a larger amount of trace data, and thinner graph edges represent the presence of a lesser amount of trace data.

Module specific tracing in a shared module environment

Provided herein are systems and methods useful in facilitating containerized data security. The system may include a data store, a computer processing unit, a network interface, and memory. The memory may contain executable instructions for causing the system to perform a containerized data security method including obtaining a first external communication from a source external to the system; associating the first external communication with the first container; authenticating the first external communication with respect to the first container; providing the first external communication to an unencrypted instance of the first container in the memory; obtaining a first responsive communication from the unencrypted instance of the first container; and providing the first responsive communication to the source external to the system.

Systems and methods for containerized data security

A tracing system may define an origin for consolidating and comparing trace paths within a traced application. A tracer may define an identifier that may be passed through a tracing route, and the identifier may be defined to capture specific instances or groups of instances of traces. The traces may be consolidated into a graphical representation of the program flow. The identifier may be passed across various boundaries, including function boundaries, library boundaries, application boundaries, device boundaries. An analysis system may consolidate or aggregate trace results having the same identifier, and may render such data graphically or provide statistics using the identified datasets.

User interface for selecting tracing origins for aggregating classes of trace data

Systems and methods that provide for a virtual reality entertainment system that supplies immersive entertainment and creates a sensation for a user similar to having guests in a remote location to be physically present as virtual guests. Such virtual reality entertainment system can supply a graphic and/or audio; wherein interconnected computers, video and audio processing devices, supply a live interaction between a user and a guest(s). Although guests are only present virtually (e.g., electronically present with other objects/user within the environment) such virtual invitation enables a user and guests to concurrently experience the entertainment together (e.g., a live sporting event, spectator game). In a related aspect, the subject innovation can implement holographic avatars, and a plurality of communication interfaces, to imitate (and/or transform) a relationship between the user and the virtual guests/surrounding environment.

Transformations for virtual guest representation

Highlighted objects may traverse a graph representing an application's code elements and relationships between those code elements. The highlighted objects may be animated to represent how the objects are processed in an application. The graph may represent code elements and relationships between the code elements, and the highlighting may be generated by tracing the application to determine the flow of the object through code elements and across relationships. A user may control the highlighted graph with a set of playback controls for playing through the sequence of highlights on the graph. The playback controls may include pause, rewind, forward, fast forward, and other controls. The controls may also include a step control which may step through small time increments.

Animated highlights in a graph representing an application

An analysis system may perform network analysis on data gathered from an executing application. The analysis system may identify relationships between code elements and use tracer data to quantify and classify various code elements. In some cases, the analysis system may operate with only data gathered while tracing an application, while other cases may combine static analysis data with tracing data. The network analysis may identify groups of related code elements through cluster analysis, as well as identify bottlenecks from one to many and many to one relationships. The analysis system may generate visualizations showing the interconnections or relationships within the executing code, along with highlighted elements that may be limiting performance.
