SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PROVIDING DEVICE AUTHENTICATION, MITIGATION AND RISK ANALYSIS IN THE INTERNET AND CLOUD

摘要

The present invention is a method to provide mechanisms and judgment to determine the ongoing veracity of “purported” devices (sometimes called spoofing) with such parameters as unique device ID, access history, paths taken and other environmental data (Device Authentication).;This invention relies upon a previous invention “Reputation Database in the cloud and Internet”—the internet is comprised of collections of devices, data, applications and networks all dynamically exchanging information among users. We present a mechanism for real time observation, and putting or accessing those observations into a distributed virtual database for contextual evaluation and analysis of how the internet is being used or potentially subverted. This includes real time evaluation of DNS database changes, server logs, performance, path resolution, device logs, tip data and law enforcement data.;This invention is particularly useful for helping detect and mitigate data compromises, networks, systems and other assets within the internet.
