Abstract: A provider network implements a proxy to control access to web-based resources of a provider network. The proxy receives requests to access web-based services. The proxy allows access to a web-based service only if user-configured access control rules are satisfied and credentials associated with the web-based service are authenticated. The proxy prevents access to a web-based service if user-configured access control rules are not satisfied or credentials associated with the web-based service are not authenticated. The provider network may also implement a proxy configuration service to set up and launch the proxy. The proxy configuration service receives from the client a specification of the access control rules, configures the proxy based on the access control rules, and launches the proxy.

Abstract: A secure control system includes a network of multiplexers that control end/field devices of an infrastructure system, such as an electric power grid. The multiplexers have a default secure lockdown state that prevents remote access to data on the multiplexers and prevents modification of software or firmware of the multiplexer. One or more of the multiplexers include a physical authentication device that confirms the physical proximity of a trusted individual when remote access is requested. A user accesses the network and one of the multiplexers remotely by way of login credentials. The trusted individual confirms the identity of the remote user and operates the physical authentication device connected with and in proximity to that multiplexer, thereby confirming that the remote user can be trusted to access data and reconfigure the multiplexers.

Abstract: In this disclosure, a number of ways that quantum information can be used to help make quantum classifiers more secure or private are disclosed. In particular embodiments, a form of robust principal component analysis is disclosed that can tolerate noise intentionally introduced to a quantum training set. Under some circumstances, this algorithm can provide an exponential speedup relative to other methods. Also disclosed is an example quantum approach for bagging and boosting that can use quantum superposition over the classifiers or splits of the training set to aggregate over many more models than would be possible classically. Further, example forms of k-means clustering are disclosed that can be used to prevent even a powerful adversary from even learning whether a participant even contributed data to the clustering algorithm.

Abstract: Hardware circuitry, in response to receiving a request for an authentication value of a plurality of authentication values of a replaceable item from a host device to which the replaceable item has been connected, determines that the authentication value was not previously sent. The circuitry responsively determines that the replaceable item previously sent a maximum number of unique authentication values of the authentication values. The maximum number of unique authentication values is less than a total number of the authentication values. The circuitry responsively sends the authentication value to the host device. The circuitry, once the authentication value has been sent or will have been sent to the host device, determines that the maximum number of unique authentication values has now been sent, and in response prohibits the authentication values that have not been sent from being sent later.
