Abstract: Some examples of the present disclosure relate to infusing custom qualities into an artificially intelligent entity. In one example, a system can initiate execution of a smart contract that is configured to generate a correlation between a second non-fungible token (NFT) and a first NFT. The first NFT can include personality fields with default values defining default personality characteristics for an artificially intelligent entity. The second NFT can include a personality field with a customized value defining a customized personality characteristic assignable to the artificially intelligent entity. The correlation can be configured to impart the customized personality characteristic to the artificially intelligent entity.

Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for the application of an artificial neural network architecture to identify intrusion in a database. Changes to components of a data table of the database may be tracked as a snapshot of the changes over a period of time. Any change in the data table may be associated with a user. Utilizing multiple snapshots, a background substitution technique may be utilized to generate a matrix of the changes to the data table over a period of time. A model having an artificial neural network architecture may utilize the matrix as an input set to identify the user as an unauthorized user accessing the database.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for adding key chain and key derivative functions (KDF) support for Network time protocol (NTP) authentication using password based key derivation functions-NTP (PBKDF-NTP) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating time bound multiple short lived keys instead of long lived keys for NTP security which ensures that attacker will not get enough time to crack the key values. The usage of time bound multiple short lived keys instead of long lived keys for NTP security will ensure that attacker will not get enough time to crack the key values within key lifetime. Hence man-in-middle attack can be avoided in NTP.

The security policy is sent from the cloud security policy system to user devices to be applied by the user devices.

Abstract: This disclosure generally revolves around providing users with advance warning that a message that they have received may be suspicious. The user may not be aware of known threats, may not recognize threats in real time, or may not be aware of new threats, and therefore may unintentionally interact with a hazardous message. A security awareness system, on the other hand, is aware of known threats and may become aware of new threats more quickly than users can be trained to identify them. The system may notify the user when one of these threats are found in their messages. The disclosure further provides systems and methods for updating the security awareness training for users for new threats that appear.

Abstract: A method and a device for securing a cache against side channel attacks are provided. An allocator identifier ALLOCATOR field is added to each cache entry in the present disclosure. Whenever an entry is allocated in the cache, the identifier of the software domain currently running on the processor is filled into the ALLOCATOR field of the allocation entry. When accessing the cache, the cache entry can be hit only if the identifier of the software domain currently running on the processor is identical to the ALLOCATOR field in the cache entry. If the cache entry to be replaced is invalid or its ALLOCATOR field is identical to the identifier of the software domain currently running on the processor, then the existing entry in the cache is replaced directly; otherwise, the entire cache is emptied.
