Abstract: Methods and systems for managing operation of a data pipeline are disclosed. To manage operation of a data pipeline when a portion of data is inaccessible may require generating synthetic portion of data to generalize the inaccessible portion of data. Prior to the generation of the synthetic portion of data, an analysis of an intended use of the inaccessible portion of data may be performed. The analysis may reduce the likelihood of generation and use of synthetic portion of data that is unreliable. Once obtained, the synthetic portion of data may be analyzed to determine a likelihood that the synthetic portion of the data may successfully generalize the inaccessible portion of data. When the synthetic portion of data is determined to meet or exceed quality criteria, the synthetic portion of data may be utilized by the data pipeline.

Abstract: In at least one example, a method includes establishing, by a sniffer provisioning server (SPS) of a first wireless device, a trusted relationship between the first wireless device and a sniffer tool using a public key of the sniffer tool. An out-of-band (OOB) key exchange provisions the public key of the sniffer tool to the wireless device. The method further includes obtaining, by the SPS, key material uniquely related to a communication session established between the first wireless device and a second wireless device using a shared password. The key material excludes the shared password and a session key uniquely related to the communication session. The method further includes publishing, by the SPS, the key material over a channel to the sniffer tool based on the trusted relationship. The channel is secured using the public key of the sniffer tool.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically controlling access and limiting functionality of a computer workstation based on which user is currently logged in. In some implementations, an overwatch application is installed on the workstations to be controlled and monitored. If an authorized, but limited, user logs in, the overwatch application can initiate a lockdown process on the workstation. In some instances, the lockdown process is managed by a dedicated lockdown application, which is initiated or notified from the overwatch application, and which can initiate a lockdown of particular applications, functionality, and allowed interactions on the workstation until the limited user has completed their task and a new user logs in.

Abstract: An approach for increasing security of biometric templates is described. An improved system is adapted to split a full set of features or representations of a trained model into a first partial template and a second partial template, the second partial template being stored on a secure enclave accessible only through zero-knowledge proof based interfaces. During verification using the template, a new full set of features is received for comparison, and a model is loaded based on the available portions of the model. Comparison utilizing the second partial template requires the computation of zero-knowledge proofs as direct access to the underlying second partial template is prohibited by the secure enclave.
