Latest Patents

One of Swapnil's latest patents is titled "Centralized Trust Authority for Web Application Components." This patent discloses techniques to facilitate the operation of a centralized trust authority for web application components. In this implementation, a plurality of web resources used to construct web applications is received. Over a secure application programming interface (API), component registration information associated with each of the plurality of web resources is received, provided by producers of the web resources. The plurality of web resources is analyzed to determine unique identities and security attributes for each of the web resources. A plurality of security risk factors is identified for each of the plurality of web resources based on the component registration information and the security attributes determined for each of the web resources. A security profile is generated for each of the plurality of web resources based on the security risk factors identified for each of the web resources.

Another notable patent is the "Method for Detecting Malicious Scripts Through Modeling of Script Structure." This patent discloses enhancements for operating a communication network to detect malware in scripts of web applications. In one implementation, a method for modeling the structure of embedded unclassified scripts is described. This method compares the abstract dynamism of similar scripts. It determines the structure of unclassified end-user browser scripts by building an abstract structure using code from unclassified end-user browser scripts. The determined structure is then compared with a plurality of generalized abstract structures. If the determined structure matches within a predetermined threshold of any of the generalized abstract structures, the unclassified end-user browser script is classified as benign; otherwise, it is classified as malicious. This provides a scalable and efficient way of identifying benign, malicious, known, and unknown scripts.
