Abstract: Techniques are provided for verifying Access Points (APs) using crowd sourcing. In one example, a STA establishes a first non-verified connection, based on security material, with a source AP in a wireless infrastructure. A target AP in a wireless infrastructure obtains an indication that the STA is attempting to establish a second non-verified connection with the target AP. In response, the target AP establishes the second non-verified connection based on the security material.

Abstract: An endpoint receives a photon signal jointly encoded in time and frequency as a time-frequency state, and separates the photon signal with a dispersive element to generate frequency components. The endpoint delays each corresponding frequency component by a corresponding time delay to separate out the frequency components in time before the endpoint recombines the frequency components to generate a frequency-separated signal. The endpoint measures the frequency-separated signal to determine the time-frequency state of the photon signal.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing notifications about events that occur during an online meeting. For instance, a system may establish an online meeting, such as a video conferencing meeting, for users. While in the meeting, a first user may view video of a second user and determine that the second user is experiencing an emergency event. As such, a user device of the first user may receive an input indicating that the emergency event is occurring with the second user. The system may receive the indication from the user device and verify that the emergency event is occurring. Additionally, the system may then send a notification to emergency personnel that indicates at least that the emergency event is occurring and a location of the second user. Furthermore, the system may send notification(s) to contact(s) associated with the second user that indicate at least that the emergency event is occurring.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device may obtain a location of an endpoint that communicates with an application service. The device may match the location of the endpoint to a data compliance policy. The device may identify sensitive data within the application service to which the data compliance policy applies. The device may configure the application service to permit the endpoint to at least one of access or send the sensitive data when permitted by the data compliance policy.

Abstract: Network traffic interference detection and management may be provided. An infringement event by an infringing Access Point (AP) on a Restricted Target Wake Time (rTWT) transmission opportunity (TxOp) associated with a victim AP may be detected, and information associated with the infringement event may be added to an infringement list, wherein the information includes a MAC address associated with the infringing AP. A controller, may receive the infringement list and notify the infringement event to the infringing AP. The infringing AP may determine whether a transmission associated with the infringement event is low latency and high priority. When the transmission is not low latency and high priority the infringing AP may modify future transmissions based on the notification. When the transmission is low latency and high priority the infringing AP may notify the controller that the transmission is low latency and high priority.

Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method comprises monitoring a request for use of memory requested by a container manager application on behalf of a given one of a plurality of containers during runtime of the given container. The method further comprises determining that the request for use of memory has caused an exception. The exception indicates that the request has requested an invalid operation on a memory table or that the request has requested a previously not seen memory table. In response, the method further comprises determining an action to perform. The action depends on both first trustworthiness information associated with the given container and second trustworthiness information associated with the given container. The first trustworthiness information is obtained from a Third Party Reputation Service (TPRS). The second trustworthiness information is obtained based on monitoring the runtime behavior of the given container.

Abstract: A method includes generating a first shortest path tree for traffic routing in a network, the first shortest path tree identifying a corresponding shortest path from the network node to other nodes in the network and generating a second shortest path tree for traffic routing after removing an element from the network. The second shortest path tree identifies a corresponding shortest path from the network node to the other nodes in the network with the element removed. A third shortest path tree is generated, which is a weighted version of the second shortest path tree with a weight value added to any node or link in the network sharing a SRLG value with the element removed from the network. Network traffic is enforced based on a comparison of the third shortest path tree with at least one of the first shortest path tree and the second shortest path tree.
