The present invention is configured to retrieve one or more multimodal communications from a data repository; initiate one or more feature extraction algorithms on the one or more communication modalities to extract one or more features; generate a training dataset based on at least the one or more features extracted from the one or more communication modalities; initiate one or more machine learning algorithms on the training dataset to generate a first set of parameters; receive an unseen multimodal communication; generate an unseen dataset based on at least the unseen multimodal communication; classify, using the first set of parameters, the unseen multimodal communication into one or more class labels; and initiate an execution of one or more actions on the unseen multimodal communication based on at least the classification. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392107 | MULTI-CHANNEL ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM CONVERTER - Conversion of communications from a first device over a firsts communication channel to a second communication channel that is utilized by a second communication device such that an enterprise employee can interface with and communication with a customer using the customer's preferred channel or application for communication. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392108 | SERVER-SIDE INITIATION OF DNS RESOLUTION - A server computer includes a network communications interface, a memory configured to store a web page having an IP address, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, via the network communications interface, a request for the web page. The request includes the IP address. The processor is also configured to identify a set of domain names referenced by the web page; resolve the set of domain names into a set of IP addresses; and transmit, in response to the request for the web page and via the network communications interface, a content and format of the web page. The content of the web page includes the set of IP addresses. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392109 | DETECTION DEVICE, GATEWAY DEVICE, DETECTION METHOD, AND DETECTION PROGRAM - A detection device is configured to detect an unauthorized message in an on-vehicle network including a plurality of on-vehicle devices. The detection device includes: a monitoring unit configured to monitor transmission messages in the on-vehicle network and configured to create first time series data being time series data of values of transmission intervals of the transmission messages in a first period and second time series data being time series data of values of transmission intervals of the transmission messages in a second period; a correlation calculation unit configured to calculate a correlation between the first time series data and the second time series data that have been created by the monitoring unit; and a detection unit configured to detect the unauthorized message on the basis of the correlation calculated by the correlation calculation unit. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392110 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEAK PREVENTION FOR DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM REQUESTS - Embodiments of systems and methods for DNS leak prevention and protection are disclosed herein. In particular, certain embodiments include a local DNS protection agent installed on a system and an associated trusted external DNS protection server. The DNS protection agent prevents DNS leaks from applications on the system such that all DNS requests from the system are confined to requests from the DNS protection agent to the associated DNS protection server. As the DNS leak prevention provided by the DNS protection agent stops applications on the system from circumventing the DNS protection server, all DNS requests originating from the system remain under the control of the DNS protection server and thus desired DNS protection (e.g., as implemented on the DNS protection server) may be maintained. Certain embodiments prevent applications from using certain DNS security protocols, such as DoH and DoT, without going through the DNS protection agent. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392111 | NETWORK TRAFFIC INSPECTION - Network traffic inspection is disclosed. An application executing on a client device as an operating system that uses a virtual private network (VPN) stack of the operating system intercepts a first IP packet. The application determines that a policy should be applied to the intercepted first IP packet. The policy is applied to the intercepted first IP packet. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392112 | ENHANCED PRIVACY-PRESERVING ACCESS TO A VPN SERVICE - Systems and methods for effectively managing security and privacy measures during a user's connectivity session with a VPN service are provided. The systems and methods use a computer program that introduces a double-NAT feature at the network layer and a temporary hash table containing the minimally necessary temporary data to link two NAT sessions together in a secure manner. The systems and methods avoid including the dynamic management of IP addresses or requiring each client to have an IP address assigned beforehand to avoid compromising the user's identity by hard linking the session traces with the client | 2021-12-16 |
