  • Patent number: 11985204
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring state between devices. In one implementation, a gestural input is detected, and a state of a source application is transferred from a first device to a second device in response to the gestural input. The second device may then generate an instance of a target application that corresponds to a representation of the state of the source application received from the first device. In an additional implementation, a state of the target application is transferred from the second device to the first device. The first device then updates a state of the source application to correspond to a representation of the state of the target application received from the second device.

  • Patent number: 11983268
    Abstract: A service prevents attacks carried out through container escape for silo-based containers. A callback is registered for a function(s) that may be invoked from inside a container and returns an object handle(s). The callback, when triggered by invocation of the function(s), executes for determination of whether requests for access to objects via their handles are issued by suspicious processes. Access to CExecSvc.exe is restricted for processes that request a handle for CExecSvc.exe and are determined to be associated with a container themselves. Processes that escape their container through a technique that evades detection are also blocked from accessing the host system. When a process requests access to an object via invocation of a function that returns a handle, the callback executes for determination of whether the process but not the requested object is associated with a container, in which case the service restricts the process' access to the host system.

  • Patent number: 11972300
    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein relate to managing aspects of provisioning cloud-computing edge devices. In some embodiments, a user request specifying one or more resources to be provisioned at a cloud-computing edge device may be received by a cloud-computing device operated by a cloud-computing provider. An ephemeral credential may be generated for the edge device and used to determine whether access control policies exist that enable the edge device to access the resource(s). If the resource(s) are accessible, a manifest may be generated in accordance with the user request. The manifest may specify a configuration for the cloud-computing edge device and includes information related to the resource. Operations may be subsequently executed to provision the cloud-computing edge device in accordance with the manifest. However, if the resource(s) are not accessible, the user request may be denied.

  • Patent number: 11843524
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein direct an end device to a multi-access edge computing (MEC) service instance among MEC instances with different service levels for different geographic areas. A network device stores a map of a geographic area with unique identifiable regions (UIRs) that each include cells for different wireless stations of a transport network. The network device receives application parameters, for a designated coverage area, for an application to be serviced using MEC resources. The network device associates the designated coverage area with one or more target UIRs from the map and deploys, when the MEC resources are available to support the application parameters, an instance of the application at a MEC cluster. The deployed instance of the application meets the application parameters for the target UIRs. The network device updates a MEC-domain name service (DNS) for the deployed instance of the application at the MEC cluster.

  • Patent number: 11841951
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for remotely supporting managed hardware components of an IHS (Information Handling System). Prior to booting an operating system of the IHS, the managed hardware components are enumerated as supporting remote management and a network stack is created in a secured IHS memory, where the network stack is for transfer of remote device management communications directed at the managed hardware components. Still prior to booting the operating system, the IHS chipset is configured to route device management messages received from remote management tools to the network stack. After booting the operating system, a secure remote management session is established between a remote management tool and an IHS device management agent. During operation of the device management agent in the booted operating system, device management messages are retrieved from the network stack and decoded device management messages are delivered to a managed hardware component.
