  • Publication number: 20240248968
    Abstract: A system and method for managing user identity information in a multi-tenant environment can perform operations including assigning a first address from an address pool for a first user session, storing first information for the first user session in the memory linked to the first address, and assigning a second address from the address pool for a second user session. The operations can also include storing second information for the second user session in the memory linked to the second address from the address pool for the second user session if the second address does not match a third address from the address pool for a third session in the memory, and forwarding communication data for the second user session after the second information has been stored.

  • Patent number: 11979292
    Abstract: Network rules established on a device can establish communication protocol between applications running on the device and interfaces connected to the device. For example, a network rule can establish which application(s) can access which interface(s), and when an application is not assigned to an interface, the application is not granted network access to the interface(s). In some instances, interfaces can be aggregated together to create an aggregation (e.g., link aggregation or a bridge aggregation), thus allowing the network rule to use the aggregation for multiple applications. An aggregation, such as a link aggregation, can be established as a shared rule that allows access to the interface by multiple applications. Alternatively, an aggregation, such as a bridge aggregation, can be established as a reserve rule that permits only a particular application, and no other application(s), access to the interface.

  • Patent number: 11900251
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to increasing the amount of training data available to machine learning algorithms. A computer system may access an initial set of training data that specifies a plurality of sequences, each of which may define a set of data values. The computer system may amplify the initial set of training data to create a revised set of training data. The amplifying may include identifying sub-sequences of data values in ones of the plurality of sequences in the initial set of training data and using an inheritance algorithm to create a set of additional sequences of data values, where each one of the set of additional sequences may include sub-sequences of data values from at least two different sequences in the initial set of training data. The computer system may process the set of additional sequences using the machine learning algorithm to train a machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11777952
    Abstract: An authentication server can receive an electronic message transmitted by a sender. The electronic message can have an intended recipient and can include message data. A sender identification (“ID”) is embedded in the message data. The authentication server can generate a first message ID based on the message data that includes the sender ID. The first message ID can be determined to match a second message ID that is stored in a database. The sender ID can be determined to be different from an originator ID that is associated with the second message ID in the database. The authentication server can determine whether an originator associated with the originator ID has authorized the sender to transmit the message data and can determine whether to transmit the electronic message to the intended recipient based on whether the originator has authorized the sender to transmit the data.
