  • Patent number: 11792010
    Abstract: Systems and methods for combining input data and machine learning models that remain secret to each entity are described. This disclosure can allow groups of entities to compute predictions based on datasets that are larger and more detailed collectively than individually, without revealing their data to other parties. This is of particular use in artificial intelligence (AI) tasks in domains which deal with sensitive data, such as medical, financial, or cybersecurity.

  • Patent number: 11778456
    Abstract: An improved Narrowband Internet of Things device (UE) supporting resource sharing for integrated Subscriber Identity Modules (iSIM) is provided. The cost per UE is reduced by reducing the chip area and energy consumption of an integrated UICC chip therein since identical components of the modem and the iSIM are designed as shared components, whereas a hardware arbiter manages an access to THE shared components by the modem or the iSIM and prevents information leaking.

  • Patent number: 11750381
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a central controller receiving a request to generate a new encryption key for a security group to replace a current encryption key for the security group. The security group includes a plurality of hosts that each encrypt and decrypt communications using the current encryption key. In response to receiving the request, the central controller determines that a threshold period following generation of the current encryption key has not expired. In response to determining that the threshold period has not expired, the central controller delays execution of the request until the expiration of the threshold period. In response to the expiration of the threshold period, the central controller executes the request by generating the new encryption key, storing a time of creation of the new encryption key, and transmitting the new encryption key to the plurality of hosts.

  • Patent number: 11588796
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a host communicates with a data processing (DP) accelerator using an obfuscation scheme. The DP accelerator receives an obfuscation kernel algorithm (or obfuscation algorithm), where the obfuscation kernel algorithm is used to obfuscate and de-obfuscate data in communication with a host. The DP accelerator de-obfuscates, using the obfuscation kernel algorithm, obfuscated data received from the host for a prediction request to obtain one or more AI models. The DP accelerator generates prediction results by applying the one or more AI models to a prediction input. The DP accelerator obfuscates, using the obfuscation kernel algorithm, the prediction results. The DP accelerator sends the obfuscated prediction results to the host, where the host retrieves the prediction results by de-obfuscating the obfuscated prediction results.
