20150161398 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRIVACY AND TRUST ENHANCING SHARING OF DATA FOR COLLABORATIVE ANALYTICS - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for privacy-preserving sharing of data for secure collaboration. During operation, the system obtains a first set of data describing network events associated with one or more network addresses. Next, the system negotiates with a potential partner to determine a metric for deciding whether to share data. The potential partner is associated with a second set of data describing network events. The system then computes a value for the metric in a privacy-preserving way, based on the first set of data and the second set of data. Subsequently, the system determines whether the metric value exceeds a predetermined threshold, and, responsive to determining that the metric value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the system shares the first set of data with the potential partner, while controlling how the data should be shared to optimize benefits and risks of collaboration. | 06-11-2015 |
20150286824 | METHODS FOR SELECTION OF COLLABORATORS FOR ONLINE THREAT MITIGATION - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for stable selection of collaborating partners for exchanging security data. During operation, the system receives vectors of collaboration values from a plurality of entities. A collaboration value is a measure of an expected benefit of collaborating with a respective entity. The system sorts each of the vectors by the collaboration values of the respective vector. The system then determines matching entities given a number of partners wanted by each organization in N. The system may add matching entities to lists of collaborating partners given the number of partners wanted by each organization in N. Subsequently, the system sends the lists of collaborating partners to facilitate exchanging security data with partners in the list of collaborating partners. | 10-08-2015 |
20150286825 | METHODS FOR CENTRALIZED PRIVACY-PRESERVING COLLABORATIVE THREAT MITIGATION - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system to facilitate collaboration for mitigating network threats. During operation, the system receives encrypted data sets from a plurality of entities. The data sets including data describing threats to network security. The system performs privacy-preserving operations on the encrypted data sets, such as private set intersection. The system then computes one or more metrics based on results of the private set intersection computations. The system may generate a similarity matrix based on the one or more metrics, and returns one or more similarity values from the similarity matrix to one or more entities of the plurality of entities. | 10-08-2015 |
