  • Publication number: 20180212754
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for performing a secure analytic over a data source. An example method includes acquiring, by a client, an analytic, at least one analytic parameter associated with the analytic, and an encryption scheme. The encryption scheme can include a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The method further includes generating, using the encryption scheme, at least one analytical vector based on the analytic and analytic parameter, and sending the analytical vector and the encryption scheme to at least one server. The method includes extracting, by the at least one server based on the encryption scheme, a set of terms from a data set, and evaluating the analytical vector over the set of terms to obtain an encrypted result. The method further includes sending, by the server, the encrypted result and the error to the client where the encrypted result is decrypted.

  • Publication number: 20180212759
    Abstract: An example method for performing a secure probabilistic analytic includes acquiring, by a client, an analytic, at least one analytic parameter associated with the analytic, and an encryption scheme. The encryption scheme can include a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The method further includes generating, using the encryption scheme, at least one analytical vector based on the analytic and analytic parameter, and sending the analytical vector and the encryption scheme to at least one server. The method includes generating, by the server based on the encryption scheme, a set of terms from a data set, evaluating the analytical vector over the set of terms to obtain an encrypted result; estimating, by the server, a probabilistic error of the encrypted result; and sending, by the server, the encrypted result and the probabilistic error to the client where the encrypted result is decrypted.

  • Publication number: 20180212752
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an end-to-end secure operation from an expression in natural language. Exemplary methods include: receiving a set of queries from a natural language processor, the set of queries being produced by a method including: getting data schemas associated with a target data source; obtaining the expression in natural language; performing natural language processing on the expression to determine a desired operation; and generating the set of queries using at least one of matching and inference techniques over the desired operation with respect to the data schemas; encrypting the set of queries using a homomorphic encryption technique; providing the encrypted set of queries to a server, the server including the target data source; acquiring encrypted results, the encrypted results being responsive to the encrypted set of queries; and decrypting the encrypted results using a decryption key to produce desired results.

  • Publication number: 20180212756
    Abstract: Systems and methods for end-to-end encryption of a web browsing process are described herein. A web query is encrypted at a client using a homomorphic encryption scheme. The encrypted query is sent to a server where the encrypted query is evaluated over web content to generate an encrypted response without decrypting the encrypted query and without decrypting the response. The encrypted response is sent to the client where it is decrypted to obtain the results of the query without revealing the query or results to the owner of the web content, an observer, or an attacker.

  • Publication number: 20170280107
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide advanced security and situational awareness solutions enabling, real-time intelligence and a rapid response capability for businesses, first responders and off-site personnel needing real-time information to plan short-, mid- and long-term responses to specific situations. Site sentinel systems and methods include a digital representation of a site, at least one detection sensor for monitoring the site, a sensor signature analyzer for processing data from each detection sensor to identify site abnormalities, and an analytics engine for generating output that synthesizes the digital representation with graphics positioning site abnormalities. The sentinel system may further include at least one drone for providing aerial reconnaissance of the site that is directed by a drone controller in response to identified site abnormalities.

  • Publication number: 20110230245
    Abstract: A device for awarding a prize to a golfer for successfully making a predicted golf shot. A payment receiving device, a shot prediction input device and at least one camera are connected to a golf shot control computer. Also connected to the golf shot control computer is an image recording device and a viewing device. An operator views images recorded by the camera and compares those images to the predicted golf shot. If the shot successfully meets the prediction, a prize is dispensed to the golfer. The prize can be cash, a coupon or a physical item. In one preferred embodiment the prize is a new car if the golfer successfully predicts that he will get a hole-in-one.
