  • Patent number: 11973792
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods to implement a process for generating vulnerability check information for performing vulnerability assessments associated with security vulnerabilities. Vulnerability information corresponding to a security vulnerability is input into a multi-headed neural network. An extractive summary of the vulnerability information is output via a vulnerability check head of the multi-headed neural network. Synthetic scan results forming a set of positive examples are generated based at least in part on the extractive summary. An inductive logic programming system is implemented that uses the positive examples and predefined negative examples as inputs to determine, using a set covering algorithm, a general logic program that matches the positive examples and does not match the negative examples.

  • Patent number: 11924222
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing hardware and software for IoT event processing. A computing platform may monitor communication between an initiating IoT device and a service provider IoT device to detect an event processing request. The computing platform may extract, from the event processing request, event features. The computing platform may feed the event features into a deep learning engine, which may produce a smart contract corresponding to the event processing request. The computing platform may identify, using a distributed ledger, whether the event features comply with the smart contract. Based on identifying that the event features do comply with the smart contract, the computing platform may send, to an event processing system, authorization to process the event processing request, which may cause the event processing system to transfer funds from an initiating user to the service provider.

  • Patent number: 11893089
    Abstract: Systems and methods which prevent or limit access to protected content (e.g., value bearing indicia (VBI)) by a general purpose user interface application (e.g., web browser) are shown. Embodiments implement techniques to avoid displaying protected content by a general purpose user interface application, or displaying protected content during a time in which a user does not have access to particular functions of the general purpose user interface application, to protect the content from various operations, such as repeated printing, electronic copying, etc. Data presentation formatting control in the form of style sheets may be utilized to control access to content. Additionally or alternatively, executable code or an executable object may be implemented within a page or other content to control access to content. Similarly, separate areas, such as windows or pages, may be utilized to control access to content.

  • Patent number: 11870759
    Abstract: Technologies for accelerated QUIC packet processing include a computing device having a network controller. The computing device programs the network controller with an encryption key associated with a QUIC protocol connection. The computing device may pass a QUIC packet to the network controller, which encrypts a payload of the QUIC packet using the encryption key. The network controller may segment the QUIC packet into multiple segmented QUIC packets before encryption. The network controller transmits encrypted QUIC packets to a remote host. The network controller may receive encrypted QUIC packets from a remote host. The network controller decrypts the encrypted payload of received QUIC packets and may evaluate an assignment function with an entropy source in the received QUIC packets and forward the received QUIC packets to a receive queue based on the assignment function. Each receive queue may be associated with a processor core. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
