  • Patent number: 11888975
    Abstract: A system includes processor(s) and memory(s). When encryption key(s) need to be generated to encrypt a key, processor(s): generate encryption key(s); encrypt key using encryption key(s) to generate encrypted key; split encrypted key and encryption key(s) into set(s) of key components, wherein subset of key components can be used to reconstruct encrypted key and encryption key(s); and erase key from memory(s). When encryption key(s) need to be used, processor(s): receive set(s) of key components from subset(s) of users that can be used to reconstruct encrypted key and encryption key(s) used to decrypt key from encrypted key; when set(s) of key components is received from subset(s) of users that can be used to reconstruct encrypted key and encrypted key(s), reconstruct encrypted key and encryption key(s); and when the encrypted key and the encryption key(s) have both been reconstructed, decrypt encrypted key into key using encryption key(s).

  • Patent number: 11889525
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a first message indicating a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state being applicable at a first time for receiving a downlink control channel. A second message is received and indicates a common TCI state being applicable at a second time for: receiving the downlink control channel; and receiving downlink data via a downlink shared channel. The wireless device determines that the second message is received after the first message and that the second time is earlier than the first time. Based on the determining, the downlink control channel is received based on the common TCI state and the downlink data is received via the downlink shared channel based on the common TCI state.

  • Patent number: 11886850
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for building and/or applying a library of transformation templates to automate migration of source code. In various implementations, pre-migration and post-migration versions of source code that exist prior to and after migration of the source code may be analyzed. Based on the analysis, one or more transformations made to the pre-migration version of the source code to yield the post-migration version of the source code may be identified. A library of transformation templates that are applicable subsequently to automate migration of new source code may be built. In some implementations, for one or more of the transformations, a plurality of candidate transformation templates may be generated with different permutations of tokens being replaced with placeholders. One of the plurality of candidate transformation templates may be selected for inclusion in the library based on one or more criteria.

  • Patent number: 11887219
    Abstract: A method for training an image colorization model may include inputting a training input image into a colorization model and receive a predicted color map as an output of the colorization model. A first color distance may be calculated between a first pixel of the predicted color map and a second pixel of the predicted color map. A second color distance may be calculated between a third pixel included in a ground truth color map and a fourth pixel included in the ground truth colorization map. The third pixel and fourth pixel included in the ground truth color map may spatially correspond, respectively, with the first pixel and second pixel included in the predicted color map. The method may include adjusting parameters associated with the colorization model based on a neighborhood color loss function that evaluates a difference between the first color distance and the second color distance.

  • Patent number: 11888848
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a method for provisioning and implementing two-factor authentication (2FA) for enterprise services. The system securely establishes a trusted identity for a subscriber device using an immutable hardware key and public/private key sets. The device's identity is verified by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cloud service. The method includes generating unique transaction nonces for each 2FA request, securing private keys within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and employing a cloud wallet service to store keys. The subscriber device interacts with the system, decrypting and re-encrypting transaction nonces using corresponding keys. This process enables secure transaction from enterprise applications. The system also integrates user consent into the 2FA process, displaying a prompt to approve or deny authentication. This technology enhances security in enterprise services, prioritizing user consent and secure data transfer.
