Abstract: A replacement node replaces a failed node and a baseboard management controller (BMC) for the replacement node generates a nonce code that is accessible to an authenticated user. An edge management node receives the nonce code from the user and sends a maintenance token to a BMC of a peer node in an edge cluster, wherein the peer nodes BMCs within the cluster are in a BMC federation that included the failed node BMC and have access to a BMC configuration for the failed node. The management node sends the token and the nonce code to the replacement node BMC for authentication of the token. The peer node BMC sends the token received from the management node to the replacement node BMC for authentication of the peer node BMC. The authenticated peer node BMC may then deploy the BMC configuration to the replacement node BMC.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein are related to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to determine, in a cluster of host machines, a priority level of telemetry data collected in the cluster, at least based on a data type of the telemetry data and a tag and store the telemetry data in a storage in the cluster. In some embodiments, a quality-of-service (QoS) is associated with the priority level. In some embodiments, the storage is associated with the priority level. In some embodiments, the medium includes the instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to send the telemetry data from the storage to a server in accordance with the QoS, wherein the server is separate from the cluster.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a deep learning algorithm is introduced that operates on a transition matrix formed from user activities in an online network. The transition matrix records the frequencies that particular transitions between paths of user activity have occurred (e.g., the user performed a login activity, which has one path in the network, and then performed a profile view action, which has another path in the network). Each transition matrix corresponds to a different user's activities.

Abstract: Streaming content using a data streaming device having limited power is described. A data streaming device receives streaming content from a network and provides the streaming content for display on a content display device. Data streaming device includes power supplies that receive power from the content display device. The power supplies use the power to operate components of data streaming device that process the streaming content. A measuring module measures the power provided to the data streaming device. When the power is insufficient, a controller generates an indication that there is insufficient power to operate the components of the data streaming device. The controller may also modify functionality of the components to operate using available power or disable a component of the data streaming device.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing vendors an alternative to a password-based security system. The system and method also allows vendors to manage secure transactions by leveraging various message authentication techniques while allowing the vendor full control over related processes such as payment processing and fulfillment. The system and method also monitors message requests from customers for the vendor to guarantee that the communication has not been compromised. Consolidating the authentication of users to their messaging minimizes the need for each individual vendor to maintain their own password for access to a customer account. This eliminates the requirement that customers generate a password thus increasing convenience and decreasing security risks associated with the use of passwords. This decreases risk not only for customer and vendor but also decreases the risk exposure across the internet-as the system scales.
