  • Patent number: 11687831
    Abstract: An approach includes receiving a machine learning processing job, executing the machine learning processing job using parallel processing of multiple output pixels each cycle by walking data across processing elements with broadcast weights within regions and executing parallel multiplication operations, and generating an output indicating whether the machine learning processing job was successful or failed. In some embodiments, a schedule of actions is generated for respective machine learning processing jobs. The schedule of actions may include any of a plurality of shift operations in a many to many arrangement or a one to many arrangement, shifting data across region boundaries, fetching data and weights from a memory and distribution thereof to a plurality of regions (e.g., weights are distributed to respective weight memories which subsequently broadcasts those weights in a specified order based on a schedule of actions, and where data is distributed to respective processing elements).

  • Patent number: 11664985
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a system ensuring the integrity of received data. The system includes a processor, a trusted platform module, and a memory storing instructions. Upon a request from the processor, the trusted platform module generates an asymmetric key pair including a private key and a public key. The trusted platform module provides the public key and an encrypted private key to the processor. The processor generates a checksum of received content data and sends the checksum to the trusted platform module. The processor also loads the encrypted private key into the trusted platform module. The trusted platform module decrypts the encrypted private key, encrypts the checksum with the private key, and provides the encrypted checksum to the processor. The processor sends the content data together with the encrypted checksum to an external device. The external device may decrypt the encrypted checksum with the public key.

  • Patent number: 11646890
    Abstract: A method is disclosed of a secure component (SC) of a local attestation server (LAS) for populating an enclave associated with the LAS. The SC comprises stored encrypted population information previously received in a data packet and encrypted by an encryption key matching a private decryption key of a trusted platform module (TPM) associated with the LAS. The method comprises receiving a public part of a temporary asymmetric key from the enclave, establishing a secure session between the SC and the TPM, sending (to the TPM by using the secure session) the encrypted population information and the public part of the temporary asymmetric key, receiving (from the TPM by using the secure session) the population information decrypted by the private decryption key and re-encrypted by the public part of the temporary asymmetric key, and transmitting the re-encrypted population information to the enclave.

  • Patent number: 11636389
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are described to improve machine learning (ML) model-based classification of data items by identifying and removing inaccurate training data. Inaccurate training samples may be identified, for example, based on excessive variance in vector space between a training sample and a mean of category training samples, and based on a variance between an assigned category and a predicted category for a training sample. Suspect or erroneous samples may be selectively removed based on, for example, vector space variance and/or prediction confidence level. As a result, ML model accuracy may be improved by training on a more accurate revised training set. ML model accuracy may (e.g., also) be improved, for example, by identifying and removing suspect categories with excessive (e.g., weighted) vector space variance. Suspect categories may be retained or revised. Users may (e.g., also) specify a prediction confidence level and/or coverage (e.g., to control accuracy).

  • Patent number: 11604881
    Abstract: A method of certifying a state of a platform includes receiving one or more software elements of a software stack of the platform by an authentication module and performing a hash algorithm on the software stack to generate one or more hash values. The software stack uniquely determines a software state of the platform. The method includes generating creation data, a creation hash, and a creation ticket, corresponding to the hash values and sending the creation ticket to the platform. The method also includes receiving the creation ticket by the authentication module and certifying the creation data and the creation hash based on the creation ticket. The method further includes generating a certified structure based on the creation data and performing the hash algorithm on the certified structure to generate a hash of the certified structure.

  • Patent number: 11588638
    Abstract: A system performs digital notarization using a biometric identification service. A signature requesting service receives a request to validate a digital item with a signature for a person. The signature requesting service provides a payload that identifies the digital item and/or the person to an identity service. The identity service obtains one or more digital representations of biometrics for the person, determines an identity for the person, and returns a data structure including the payload and one or more identity attestations regarding the determined identity. The identity service encrypts at least a portion of the data structure using a private encryption key. A public encryption key for the identity service can then be used to decrypt the portion to verify that the data structure was generated by the identity service after determining the identity. In this way, validation can be verified to the full trust level of the identification service.

  • Patent number: 11586456
    Abstract: A method for applying agency and regulation modeling in a multi-tenant architecture system includes accessing merchant's representation in an identity manager. The merchant is managed via a full representation by an original identity manager. The method includes performing a first service for the merchant via the representation, and determining, based on results of the first service and on policies of the first service provider, that performance of a second service is required for completion of the first service. The second service is provided by a second service provider onboarded into the first service provider, where the second service amends policy requirements of the first service provider. The method includes accessing a first subservice of the second service using the representation to generate second results for use at a second subservice of the second service, the second subservice configured to use transaction resources of the first representation.
