  • Patent number: 11995520
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a feature contribution system that accurately and efficiently provides the influence of features utilized in machine-learning models with respect to observed model results. In particular, the feature contribution system can utilize an observed model result, initial contribution values, and historical feature values to determine a contribution value correction factor. Further, the feature contribution system can apply the correction factor to the initial contribution values to determine correction-factor adjusted contribution values of each feature of the model with respect to the observed model result.

  • Patent number: 11996386
    Abstract: To protect against physical and side-channel attacks, circuit assemblies may mount a main processor opposite of a cryptographic processor such that traces between the two processors are hidden in a substrate. Another substrate defining a cavity may be mounted on the bottom of the substrate to enclose the cryptographic processor and prevent physical access without disrupting the cryptographic operations. Voltage converters with integrated inductors may also be included in the cavity to generate electromagnetic noise that will disrupt the sensitive equipment used in side-channel attacks. An electromagnetic shield may be sputtered on top of the main processor to block electromagnetic sniffing attacks while still allowing the processor to be coupled with a heat sink.

  • Patent number: 11991043
    Abstract: An operator node is configured to enable the management of nodes communicatively coupled to the operator node via a network. A selection of node objects is received by the operator node, the selected node objects including software components for inclusion within a node configuration. A configuration policy is generated based on the selected objects, the configuration policy including a set of tests (such as scripts or executables) that, when run, test for the presence of one or more of the selected node objects. A target node is scanned to determine the configuration of the target node, and the set of tests are applied to identify a set of objects identified by the policy but not installed at the target node. The target node is then re-configured to install the identified set of objects at the target node.
