  • Publication number: 20240356985
    Abstract: A connection-based service impersonates request-based security for requests from clients that do not include credentials for the requests (e.g., data plane requests made via a connection-oriented security). A connection between a client and a connection-based service is established based on connection credentials that are based on security credentials from a request-based security service. The credentials are sent by a security component of the service to a local agent of the remote security service to be authenticated by the security service. An impersonation token is returned by the security service and cached by the local agent. Requests from the client to perform operations do not include credentials. For each request, the service passes an identifier for the client and the operation to a local authorization component that calls the agent for authorization of the requested operation. The agent uses the impersonation token to obtain authorization for the requested operation.

  • Publication number: 20240338011
    Abstract: An IoT gateway at a client site uses sensing functions and actuating functions to safely implement actions for equipment. The client provides, to the IoT service, specifications for a sensing function and one or more actuating functions that are to communicate with the sensing function. The functions are deployed to the IoT gateway at the client site. The sensing function may be assigned read only access to the equipment and the actuating function may be assigned write only access to the equipment. The sensing function may collect data from the equipment and determine that a condition has been met (e.g., temperature is above an upper limit). In response, the sensing function provides an indication of an action to the actuating function (e.g., via a unique topic). If the action is a supported action, then the actuating function causes the equipment to perform the action; otherwise, it ignores the indicated action.

    Abstract: Synchronous replication for a distributed database system may be performed using an erasure coding scheme. A request that causes a write to a database hosted in a distributed database system is received. A replication message for a synchronous replication technique is generated, then divided and encoded into a number of chunks according to an erasure encoding scheme that allows the replication message to be reassembled with less than the number of chunks. The chunks are sent to another instance of the database which receives and reassembles the replication message from the chunks and responds to acknowledge that the write is committed.

    Abstract: Techniques for solving quantum circuit mapping problems using reinforcement learning techniques are disclosed. Quantum circuit mapping often requires the use of SWAP gates in order to configure logical quantum computations to be executed using fixed quantum hardware device layouts. A reinforcement learning model takes inputs such as a logical quantum circuit, a physical qubit connectivity graph corresponding to a quantum hardware device, and an initial qubit allocation scheme, and uses such information to schedule quantum gates of the logical quantum circuit for execution using respective physical qubits of the quantum hardware device. A reinforcement learning model that is configured to solve such quantum circuit mapping problems may comprise a neural network that is assisted by a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm, wherein the MCTS algorithm guides the neural network towards quantum circuit routing pathways which are more efficient (e.g., require fewer SWAP gates to be scheduled).

    Abstract: A system, method and processor that mitigates security vulnerabilities using context-dependent address space hiding. In some embodiments, a hardware mechanism allows a more-privileged software component managing multiple less-privileged software components to blind itself against “out-of-context” less-privileged software components. The hardware mechanism can allow the more-privileged software component to dynamically hide a portion of the more-privileged address space related to the “out-of-context” less-privileged software components, based on knowledge of the “in-context” less-privileged software component. A context register is set with a value from which an address range, within the address space of the more-privileged software component, can be determined, where the address range is associated with a first less-privileged software component can be determined.

    Abstract: An Identity and Access Management Service implements persistent source values PSVs) for assumed identities. A source value (e.g., an original identifier of an entity) is persisted across assumed identities, facilitating identification of entities (users or applications) responsible for actions taken by the assumed (e.g., alternative) identities. The Manager receives a request to assume an identity. The request includes the entities current credentials and a PSV. The current credentials are authenticated and a persistent source value policy may be relied on to determine whether and/or how to grant the assumed identity. The PSV may be copied from credentials in the request in order to be included in the credentials for the requested identity that the Manager provides in response to the request. Use of the requested credentials, including the PSV, to access services or resources may be logged, the logs including the PSV from the request to assume the identity.

    Abstract: A journaling file system may implement remote durable logging. Updates to a file system may be received, and log records describing the updates may be stored in a locally-accessible file system change log. The update may then be acknowledged as committed. The log records may then be sent to be stored in a network-based data store in a remote version of the file system change log. Once it may be determined that the log records are stored in the remote version, storage space for the log records in the local file system change log may be reclaimed. Various types of restoration and duplication techniques may be implemented based on the remote version of the change log to restore a file system at an originating device or to duplicate the file system at a different device.
