Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that ensure correctness of file system analytics are disclosed. With this technology, a first generation number for a volume is incremented in response to a modification of a rule set that defines properties of objects of a file system associated with the volume. A determination is made when a second generation number in a first inode for a first one of the objects matches the first generation number. The first inode is identified based on a traversal of a directory tree associated with the file system. The modified rule set is applied to the properties for the first one of the objects to obtain values, when the second generation number fails to match the first generation number. Analytics data is output after the traversal has completed. The analytics data is generated in response to a query and is based on the values.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus to provide private information retrieval are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a protected data enclave to store a first portion of data such that entities other than the first trusted hardware processing unit are unable to access the first portion of the data. The example apparatus includes a request processor to determine that a data element specified in a first request from an entity is stored in a second trusted hardware processing unit. The request processor is to send an encrypted request for the data element to the second trusted hardware processing unit, and send an encrypted dummy request to a third trusted hardware processing unit. The request processor is to determine whether an encrypted dummy response has been received from the third trusted hardware processing unit, and whether an encrypted response including the data element has been received from the second trusted hardware processing unit.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that performs inference detection based on Internet advertisements. In doing so, this system first receives a set of topic words, performs a search query on each topic word using a search engine, and gathers a set of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with sponsored advertisement from the search results corresponding to each search query. Then, the system determines a correlation between two topic words based on their corresponding URLs associated with sponsored advertisement, and produces a result which indicates groups of correlated topic words.

Abstract: A system for equality testing, the system comprising a first client device including a first private data unit, a second client device including a second private data unit, and a server. The server receives a first obfuscated data unit corresponding to the first private data unit from the first client device, and a second obfuscated data unit corresponding to the second private data unit from the second client device. The server performs a vector calculation based on the first and second obfuscated data units to generate a combination of the first and second obfuscated data units. The server sends the combination to the first client device. The first client device is configured to determine whether the first private data unit is equal to the second private data unit based on the combination.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates filtering outbound content via inference detection. During operation, the system identifies content sent to a first address and extracts keywords from the identified content. The system then issues queries based on these keywords and extracts expected-content keywords from the hits returned in response to the queries. The system then searches the outbound content for occurrences of the expected-content keywords and produces a result which allows a user to determine whether the outbound content is proper. In a further embodiment, the system extracts keywords from a piece of outbound content, and issues queries based on these keywords. The system then extracts keywords from the hits, and present at least one keyword to a user, thereby allowing the user to determine whether the outbound content is proper.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for automatically authenticating a user. During operation, the system receives a user's request for authentication. The system then extracts information associated with the user from user-specific information stored in an enterprise computer. The extracted user information does not explicitly relate to a password. The system further generates one or more challenges based on the extracted user information, and receives the user's response to the challenges. Subsequently, the system compares the user's response to the extracted user information, and authenticates the user.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for authenticating a user. During operation, the system records user behavior history at one or more devices associated with the user. The system then extracts user information associated with a place and/or an activity from the recorded user behavior history. The system further generates one or more challenges based on the extracted user information, thereby facilitating the verification of the user's identity.
