Abstract: A system and method for maintaining image integrity in a containerized environment. Image layers of a software container are scanned for metadata. The metadata is indexed and contextual metadata is added. Execution of the containerized environment is monitored to detect new image layers being executed. Integrity of images in the environment is maintained based on integrity rules and the metadata of each image layer. The integrity rules ensure image integrity by ensuring that pulled images are composed from trusted images, image layers are pushed by trusted users, image layers do not include potential vulnerabilities, and image layers do not override specific file paths. Trusted image layers may be automatically detected using a machine learning model trained based on historical image layer metadata.

Abstract: A proximity-based reminder system includes one or more proximity detectors for determining whether a distance between two or more paired electronic devices satisfies various criteria. Data transmissions across a wide area network (WAN) are used to determine whether a distance between paired devices satisfies a first proximity condition. Transmissions across a local area network (LAN) are used to determine whether the distance between the paired devices satisfies a second proximity condition. When the first and second proximity conditions are satisfied, the proximity-based reminder system issues a reminder alert notification to one or more of the paired devices.
