To write forgettable data to a blockchain, the forgettable data is transmitted to a server, from which encrypted data corresponding to the forgettable data are received. A hash of the forgettable data is generated. A data block including the encrypted data and control data including the hash is added to the blockchain.

Blockchain data forgetability

A Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) validator is interposed between a principal and a network service. The validator interacts with a mobile application (app) on the mobile device associated with the principal to dynamically supply a validator secret. The secret and, perhaps, other information are processed by the app to generate a TOTP when the principal attempts to access a protected resource of the network service. The validator independently generates the TOTP and compares the app generated TOTP, and on a successful match, a principal's access device is redirected for access to the protected resource.

Time-based one time password (TOTP) for network authentication

An apparatus may include a processor that may be caused to access handholding information indicating a hand configuration in which the apparatus is being held and compare the handholding information with previously-stored handholding authentication data of an authentic user. The previously-stored handholding authentication data may represent an authentic configuration in which the apparatus is held by the authentic user. The processor may be caused to determine that the apparatus is being held by the authentic user based on the comparison and cause an authenticated action to occur based on the determination.

Authentication-based on handholding information

A method includes, by a computer associated with a security reporter, updating a component vulnerability entry blockchain to represent a state of a component vulnerability entry of a software component vulnerability database. The method includes, by the computer, providing the updated component vulnerability entry blockchain to a management authority so that the management authority updates a master blockchain for the software component vulnerability database. The updated master blockchain includes a plurality of component vulnerability entry blockchains, which represent corresponding states of component vulnerability entries of the software component vulnerability database, including the updated component vulnerability entry.

Blockchains for software component vulnerability databases

Techniques for authentication via a mobile device are provided. A mobile device is pre-registered for website authentication services. A user encounters a website displaying an embedded code as an image alongside a normal login process for that website. The image is identified by the mobile device, encrypted and signed by the mobile device and sent to a proxy. The proxy authenticates the code and associates it with the website. Credentials for the user are provided to the website to automatically authenticate the user for access to the website bypassing the normal login process associated with the website.

Techniques for authentication via a mobile device

In some examples, in response to detecting addition or update of a program component of a program, a system creates a blockchain entry for addition to a blockchain register, generates a hash based on the program component, and adds in the blockchain entry a signed hash produced by encrypting the generated hash. The system publishes the blockchain entry for the blockchain, the signed hash in a blockchain entry useable to detect tampering with the program component.

Blockchain-based tracking of program changes

A technique includes determining, by a computer, entries of a software vulnerability database that is associated with a plurality of components associated with a release of a software product. The technique includes determining, by the computer, a block of a blockchain representing a vulnerability state of the plurality of components; and associating, by the computer, the block of the blockchain with the product release.

The system and method for determining fuzzy cause and effect relationships in an intelligent workload management system described herein may combine potential causes and effects captured from various different sources associated with an information technology infrastructure with substantially instantaneous feedback mechanisms and other knowledge sources. As such, fuzzy correlation logic may then be applied to the combined information to determine potential cause and effect relationships and thereby diagnose problems and otherwise manage interactions that occur in the infrastructure. For example, information describing potential causes and potential effects associated with an operational state of the infrastructure may be captured and combined, and any patterns among the information that describes the multiple potential causes and effects may then be identified. As such, fuzzy logic may the be applied to any such patterns to determine possible relationships among the potential causes and the potential effects associated with the infrastructure operational state.

Response to incorrect passwords being entered for usernames in attempts to access a computing system, each incorrect password is one-way hashed. The hashed incorrect passwords are stored within a database. High-frequency hashed incorrect passwords are determined from the stored hashed incorrect passwords. Each high-frequency hashed incorrect password corresponds to an incorrect password that was entered more than a threshold number of the attempts, regardless of the username for which the incorrect password was entered in any attempt. That the computing system is being subjected to a cyber attack is detected based on the determined high-frequency hashed incorrect passwords.

Detection of cyber attacks from high-frequency hashed incorrect passwords

A pool of files are analyzed for relationships between the files. At least some of the files in the pool are encrypted files. The relationships are represented by distances between the files plotted on a graph in two or more dimensions. A point on the graph representing a particular file. The graph includes an interactive interface, such that points or clusters of points can be selected for re-analyzing and re-plotting on a refreshed graph for just those selected points or clusters.

Automatic detection of relatedness in pools of encrypted data

A secure server detects a login from a user originating from a first device. A second user-registered device is sent a message. The second device: translates the message into light-based communication that is captured by a camera of the first device, translates the message back into the original message, and sends the translated message to the secure server. The secure server authenticates the message and sends an indication to the first device that the second device is permitted to access the first device. In an embodiment, information passed between the first and second devices continue using light-based communications.

Wireless information passing and authentication

Systems and methods are described that support information security and sub-system operational conformance with protocols. In some embodiments, agent access to resources can be controlled via generation of credentials and/or tokens and/or conditioned external authentication. In some embodiments, workflows used to assess protocol conformance can be conditionally triggered at sub-systems.

Systems and methods for supporting information security and sub-system operational protocol conformance

A late-binding token (LBT) is securely generated and provided to a device application. When the LBT is presented and validated, a resource associated with the presentation is bound to the LBT and authenticated for access to a service and provided valid credentials for accessing that service.
