Abstract: Human-readable (HR) code may be derived from a binary. The HR code may be configured to have statistical properties suitable for machine-learned (ML) translation. The HR code may comprise source code, intermediate code, assembly code, or the like. A machine-learned translator may be configured to translate the HR code into labels comprising semantic information pertaining to respective functions of the binary, such as a function name, role, or the like. Execution of the binary may be blocked in response to translating the HR code to a label associated with malware, such as cryptocurrency mining malware or the like. Conversely, the binary may be permitted to proceed to execution in response to determining that the translation is free from labels indicative of malware.

Abstract: The present invention is an architecture and method for radio frequency (RF) simultaneous transmit and receive applications that uses linear and nonlinear modeling to generate a very accurate, wideband analog signal that cancels self-interference before it is digitized by the receiver. In addition to this digitally assisted analog cancellation, another layer of signal cancellation is provided with digital blind source separation. Adaptive signal processing continuously monitors the level of cancellation and updates the processing to provide optimal performance in changing conditions (e.g., rapidly changing frequency content, signal power, temperature, etc.). Signal cancellation can be performed on extremely broadband signals providing high levels of cancellation, enabling a full-duplex RF transceiver. Furthermore, the present invention optionally includes an external signal canceller for cancelling unknown interference such as jamming.
