Methods and apparatuses are described for secure compliant storage of server access data. A server computing device generates one or more access logs based upon data access requests executed on a first compliant data storage container comprising a plurality of files. The server computing device stores the one or more access logs in a non-compliant data storage container and establishes a second compliant data storage container. The server computing device retrieves, from the non-compliant data storage container, the access logs stored therein and stores the access logs in the second compliant data storage container.

Methods and apparatus of Exclusive OR (XOR) engine in a random access memory device to accelerate cryptographical operations in processors. For example, an integrated circuit memory device enclosed within a single integrated circuit package can include an XOR engine that is coupled with memory units in the random access memory device (e.g., having dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM)). A processor (e.g., System-on-Chip (SoC) or Central Processing Unit (CPU)) can have encryption logic that performs cryptographical operations using XOR operations that are performed by the XOR engine in the random access memory device using the data in the random access memory device.

This invention discloses a novel system and method for distributing electronic ticketing such that the ticket is verified at the entrance to venues by means of an animation or other human perceptible verifying visual object that is selected by the venue for the specific event. Tins removes the need to use a bar-code scanner on an LCD display of a cell phone or other device and speeds up the rate at which human ticket takers can verify ticket holders.

Methods and systems for allowing software components that operate at a specific exception level (e.g., EL-3 to EL-1, etc.) to repeatedly or continuously observe or evaluate the integrity of software components operating at a lower exception level (e.g., EL-2 to EL-0) to ensure that the software components have not been corrupted or compromised (e.g., subjected to malware, cyberattacks, etc.) include a computing device that identifies, by a component operating at a higher exception level (“HEL component”), at least one of a current vector base address (VBA), an exception raising instruction (ERI) address, or a control and system register value associated with a component operating at a lower exception level (“LEL component”). The computing device may perform a responsive action in response to determining that the current VBA, the ERT address, or control and system register value do not match the corresponding reference data.

Disclosed herein is a data storage device comprising a data path and an access controller. The data path comprises a data port configured to transmit data between a host computer and the data storage device. The data storage device is configured to register with the host computer as a block data storage device. A non-volatile storage medium stores encrypted user content data and a cryptography engine is connected between the data port and the storage medium and uses a cryptographic key to decrypt the encrypted user content data. The access controller generates a challenge for an authorized device; sends the challenge to the authorized device; receives a response to the challenge from the authorized device over the communication channel; calculates the cryptographic key based on the response; and provides the cryptographic key to the cryptography engine to decrypt the encrypted user content data stored on the storage medium.

Method and apparatus for virtualized environment where virtual computing instances interface a service platform operated on a physical computing apparatus are disclosed. A new virtual computing instance interfacing the service platform can be created, the created new virtual computing instance belonging to a class of virtual computing instances. At least one security credential is obtained from a storage of security credentials associated with the class of the new virtual computing instance. Data communicated with at least one further computing instance is secured based on the obtained at least one security credential.

A method for facilitating assessment, authorization, and monitoring of policy documents in organizations for cyber security. The method includes a process of receiving indications of policy documents related to an organization from a user, thus, allowing the user to manager cyber security controls of written policy documents in accordance with regulations and standards. The method also includes retrieving regulations from external databases. Further, the method includes analysis of policy documents against regulations and generating insights. Subsequently, the method transmits the generated insights and/or reports to the user. Further, the method includes receiving monitoring data related to the organization from one or more user's PC devices. Further, the method uses a MD5 (Message Digest algorithm 5) hashing function to ensure that a document has not been tampered with and may include a time-based trigger utilizing a standard green/yellow/red light chart for ongoing authorizations and monitoring.

A system and method for determining consent user interface validity for a provided consent user interface of a web form presenting consent information, comprising: accessing a consent user interface presented on a web form; determining one or more configuration attributes of the consent user interface; accessing one or more privacy regulations associated with presenting consent information; comparing the one or more configuration attributes of the consent user interface to each of the one or more privacy regulations; determining whether the consent user interface is compliant with each of the one or more privacy regulations; and in response to determining that the consent user interface is not compliant with one or more privacy regulations, flagging the consent user interface.

Embodiments of this application provide a hybrid-cloud data storage method and apparatus, a related device, and a cloud system. The data storage method includes: obtaining, by a gateway of a private cloud, to-be-stored data; determining partial data to be encrypted in the to-be-stored data, to obtain first target data; obtaining a first ciphertext obtained after the first target data is encrypted, the first target data being encrypted according to a first key provided by an encryption chip connected to the gateway; generating second target data including the first ciphertext according to the first ciphertext; generating a data slice corresponding to the second target data according to the second target data; and transmitting the data slice corresponding to the second target data to a public cloud for storage.

Described herein are systems and methods that allow for secure wireless communication between a contact lens system and an accessory device to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access to confidential information. In certain embodiments, tampering attempts by potential attackers are thwarted by using a Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF) circuit that is immune to reverse engineering. In addition, sensors monitor a to-be-protected electronic device to detect tampering attempts and physical attacks to ensure the physical integrity of the communication system.
