Abstract: A method for protecting the integrity of measurement data acquired by a sensor includes: in response to the measurement data being acquired, determining, by the sensor, whether an aggregate value has already been generated, and: if the aggregate value has not yet been obtained, mapping, by a predetermined aggregation function that takes the measurement data as a mandatory argument and a previously generated aggregate value as an optional argument, the measurement data to the aggregate value; whereas if the aggregate value has already been obtained, mapping, by the predetermined aggregation function, the combination of the aggregate value and the measurement data to a new aggregate value; and in response to a predetermined condition being met, computing, using a secret key of the sensor, a signature of the aggregate value; and outputting the signature via a communication interface of the sensor, and/or storing the signature in a memory.

Abstract: A method for operation of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network includes: a central office point of delivery and/or a load management entity or functionality thereof detects that an increased load situation is currently happening or determines that an increased load situation is likely to happen or that a specific task is to be performed; the central office point of delivery triggers the use of additional virtualized network functions and/or additional micro services and an additional message router and load balancing entity for handling the increased load situation and/or for performing specific tasks within the telecommunications network and/or within the central office point of delivery; and upon detection of a normal load situation, the central office point of delivery releases the use of the additional virtualized network functions and/or additional micro services and the use of the additional message router and load balancing entity.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods of operating a leaf node device, such as a switch device, connected to a switch fabric of a network. The leaf node device receives, from another leaf node device via the switch fabric, an indication of a secure route to a host device. In response to receiving the indication of the secure route, the leaf node device creates or updates a routing entry for the host device in a routing information base of the leaf node device and creates or updates an entry for the host device in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snoop database of the leaf node device. The leaf node may thereby communicate with the host device that is attached to the leaf node device as a result of moving from the other leaf node device.

Abstract: A system may identify a resource deployed in a computer, where discovery protocol data traffic is unencrypted. The system may receive metadata associated with the discovery protocol data traffic, update the computer network based at least in part on the information included in the metadata, and provide a response to the client. The system may authenticate a request from the client to access the resource using an encrypted protocol, and provide, to the client, access to the resource upon authentication, according to a resource attribute.

Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising receiving, by a control panel of a security or automation system of a premises, an indication of an update in a configuration of a router that is configured to support an Internet protocol “IP” network at the premises; and updating the configuration of the router by the control panel in response to receiving the indication.

Abstract: Techniques for internet protocol (IP) messages via short message service (SMS) are described and may be implemented via a wireless device to enable messages originated via an IP technique (e.g., an IP application) to be converted to SMS messages when a condition occurs that prevents sending and/or receiving an IP message.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured with operations to determine whether a network supports non-voice IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) services. The UE determines whether a network with which the UE is communicating supports a non-voice IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service and when the network supports the non-voice IMS service, initiates an IMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment with the network.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor receives a voice command from a first user to transfer a first amount of data objects from a first data file of the first user to a second data file of a second user. The processor generates a voice signature of the first user and further generates a virtual device in the virtual environment, wherein the virtual device comprises metadata relating to the transfer of the data objects. The processor presents the virtual device and the voice signature to the second user in the virtual environment. The processor receives a selection from the second user of the voice signature and plays the voice signature on a second user device of the second user. The processor receives an acknowledgement from the second user and initiates the requested transfer of data objects to the second user.

Abstract: A method for creation of a secured connection for an inoperable virtual machine includes receiving a token at an on-host service running on an inoperable virtual machine (“VM”) on a server. The token is generated by a remote service person. The method includes receiving a user generated password from a user having direct access to the on-host service. The method includes creating a secured connection, using the token and password, between the on-host service and a remote server of the service person. The method includes transmitting a VM identifier of the inoperable VM to the user and receiving communications from the remote server. The communications include commands for the inoperable VM. The service person accesses the on-host service and inoperable VM using the VM identifier and the password. The password and VM identifier are transmitted to the service person by the user via a channel separate from the secured connection.

Abstract: An example method matches content, such as files and file snippets, using one or more scalable knowledge bases. The example method includes the following operations: receiving input content through a user interface; generating a whole file signature representing an entirety of the input content, where the whole file signature is based on a hash of the input content; searching a first knowledge base for a file having a whole file signature that matches the generated whole file signature; processing the input content to identify a snippet of content in a second knowledge base based on signature vector corresponding to the input content; generating a report based on at least one of the file or the snippet of content; and displaying the report on a user interface.

Abstract: Various systems, device and automated processes allow video streaming hosts or other server devices to publish their internal/local addresses (e.g., addresses used on a subnet or other local area network) to a backend address server operating on a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. Client devices attempting to subsequently contact server devices operating in the same local network can contact the address to obtain the internal address of the target server, thereby allowing direct LAN connections between clients and servers.
