Abstract: A first request to identify, among a plurality of user accounts, a subset of user accounts that are available to receive a transfer of a messaging conversation with a recipient device is received via a first application programming interface (API) call from a first client device associated with a first user account. A first response identifying the subset of user accounts that are available to receive the transfer of the messaging conversation is sent to the first client device responsive to receiving the first request. A second request to transfer the messaging conversation to a second user account identified among the subset of user accounts is received via a second API call from the first client device. The messaging conversation is transferred to the second user account to facilitate a continuation of the messaging conversation with the recipient device responsive to receiving the second request.

Abstract: A data-centric network and non-Real-Time (RT) RAN Intelligence Controller (RIC) architecture are described. The data-centric network architecture provides data plane functions (DPFs) that serve as a shared database for control functions, user functions and management functions for data plane resources in a network. The DPFs interact with control plane functions, user plane functions, management plane functions, compute plane functions, network exposure functions, and application functions of the NR network via a service interface. The non-RT RIC provides functions via rApps, manages the rApps, performs conflict mitigation and security functions, monitors machine learning (ML) performance, provides a ML model catalog that contains ML model information, provides interface terminations and stores ML data and Near-RT RIC related information in a database. An ML training host trains and evaluates ML models in the catalog, obtains training and testing data from the database, and retrains and updates the ML models.

Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may use a machine learning model to determine whether a computer security policy should be modified to reduce the likelihood of a cyber security incident. Through the use of a machine learning model, unsafe combinations of access grants or permissions may be identified and modified to prevent cyber security incidents from occurring. The computing system may input a representation of a computer security policy into a machine learning model, which has been trained on a dataset that includes representations of computer security policies. The computing system may generate output indicating a likelihood that the first computing system will be involved in a cyber security incident. Based on the output satisfying a first threshold, the computing system may generate a recommendation to modify the first computer security policy. The computing system may modify the first computer security policy based on the recommendation.

Abstract: Mechanisms are disclosed for performing efficient lossless encryption and decryption to reduce power consumption and improve the efficiency of processing streams of digital data. An input data stream associated with a stream of input data is received. A discrete wavelet transform is applied to a first serial input data value in the input data stream. Distributed components of the first serial input data value are distributed by computing a cumulative probability that the first serial input data value is less than or equal to a power-of-two range value associated with a power-of-two probability distribution function. An entropy encoded encryption value is computed based on a range variant asymmetrical numeral system based on the power-of-two probability distribution function. The entropy encoded encryption value is unloaded based on one or more computed next states. Compressed serial output data streams are compressed based on the unloaded entropy encoded encryption value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described. A virtual environment may perform a multi-step authentication process to verify identities of both a user and a representative of an organization interacting within the virtual environment. Within the virtual environment, the representative may perform a first verification process to verify the identity of the user and the representative by validating the user's account information and an identifier of the representative against a distributed ledger. Upon success of the first verification process, the representative may initiate a second verification process. As part of the second verification process, the distributed ledger may provide one or more questions posed to the user by the representative, which may be answered within the virtual environment, external to the virtual environment, or both. Upon the user successfully answering the one or more questions, the virtual environment may display an indication that the user and the representative are verified.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a stackable distributed communication and control hub (DCCH) configured to provide a wide viewing angle for instantly inspecting multiple connections when multiple DCCHs are stacked. In an illustrative example, a DCCH may include multiple connection ports distributed on one or more edge surfaces. An offset bracket, for example, may couple two DCCHs, each at a coupling surface of the corresponding DCCH. Upon coupling, the DCCHs are held at substantially parallel planes. For example, a first DCCH is offset from a second DCCH in two directions. In a first direction, respective planes are offset along a vertical axis by a predetermined first offset. In a second direction, the DCCHs are offset by a predetermined second offset, orthogonal to the first direction. Various embodiments may advantageously allow visual status of the connection ports visible in at least one viewing angle along the vertical axis.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for determining processing weights of rule variables for rule processing optimization. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize different decision services that implement rules for decision-making of data including real-time data in production computing environments. Rules may correspond to coded statements that perform an automated decision-making service for the computing services and platforms of the service provider. When writing rules, different variables for data objects may be utilized, where each variable may perform a different operation and/or utilize a different operation for fetching and retrieving data used during rule processing. Each variable may therefore have a different data processing weights based on processing requirements of the data. Thus, optimization of rule authoring may be performed by mapping variables to other similar variables and showing a processing weight of each variable.

Abstract: Performing filtering of infrastructure-to-vehicle (V2I) messages by a vehicle is provided. First messages are received from one or more road-side units (RSUs). Responsive to the vehicle approaching a check-in location indicated by the first messages, a check-in location identifier is stored for the check-in location retrieved from the first messages as being a current check-in location for the vehicle. Second messages are received from the one or more RSUs. Responsive to a message identifier in the second messages matching the check-in location identifier, the second messages are forwarded to a vehicle application for processing. Otherwise the second messages are discarded.
