  • Publication number: 20240121078
    Abstract: A device comprises a hash tree including a root node and a leaf node. An issuing authority having agreed to generate a signature of the root node after having successfully checked validity of an attribute stored in the leaf node. The device identifies a subset of nodes by using a template specifying the structure of the hash tree, said subset comprising, for all paths of the hash tree that do not comprise said leaf node, the node which is the closest to the reference root node and which does not belong to the path comprising said leaf node. A verifier computes a test hash and then computes a test root node by applying a preset rule. The verifier checks that the signature is valid using a data whose authenticity is certified by the issuing authority.

  • Publication number: 20240119170
    Abstract: Provided is a system and platform for Machine Learning (ML) based Data Discovery and Classification. The system and platform comprising components of a user console, a ML agent, and a ML data engine. By way of a ML pipeline, sensitive data is obfuscated that would otherwise by in the clear when transmitted to a centralized server. The ML model pipeline decouples embedding from model training. In a first step, the ML Agent runs on data endpoint machine or proxy to convert clear text data to embedding vectors. In a second step, the ML data engine runs on a centralized server to train models using the embedding vectors. The separation of pipeline components and respective handling of workflow requests and messages associated therewith prevents the transfer of clear data in the open. Other embodiments disclosed.
