Patent number: 12248617Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for defending against adversarial attacks in federated learning. In the federated learning comprising an aggregator and parties, the aggregator receives weights sent from the respective parties. The aggregator computes values of a performance metric for weight arrays obtained by the respective parties, using a validation dataset. The aggregator ranks the values of the performance metric in a list. The aggregator recursively splits the list in half until one or more adversary updates of the weights are isolated. The aggregator excludes one or more parties that send the one or more adversary updates from participating in a current round of training in the federated learning.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yi Zhou, Kamala Micaela Noelle Varma, Nathalie Baracaldo Angel

Patent number: 12248569Abstract: A service prevents attacks carried out through container escape for silo-based containers. A callback is registered for a function(s) that may be invoked from inside a container and returns an object handle(s). The callback, when triggered by invocation of the function(s), executes for determination of whether requests for access to objects via their handles are issued by suspicious processes. Access to CExecSvc.exe is restricted for processes that request a handle for CExecSvc.exe and are determined to be associated with a container themselves. Processes that escape their container through a technique that evades detection are also blocked from accessing the host system. When a process requests access to an object via invocation of a function that returns a handle, the callback executes for determination of whether the process but not the requested object is associated with a container, in which case the service restricts the process' access to the host system.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2024Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Prizmant, Ariel M. Zelivansky, Liron Levin, Eran Yanay

Patent number: 12206726Abstract: Examples provide a cloud-based distributed secure shell (SSH) file transfer protocol (SFTP) server system for responding to client requests. A load balancer assigns client requests to available SFTP servers within the cloud based distributed SFTP server cluster. Each SFTP server is hosted on an individual VM associated with a cloud server. An authentication service authenticates the client requests using a single user profile. A registry table on a first cloud storage maintains metadata describing all the data records stored within a second cloud storage. The registry table and the data records are accessible to all the SFTP servers within the server cluster. In this manner, any server within the cluster can authenticate a user and respond to a client request while providing a seamless and uniform user experience while simultaneously reducing resource usage and improving scalability.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: ManoharReddy Vummadi, Ponsankar Shanmugam Semmandampalayam, Xue Chen
