  • Patent number: 11792270
    Abstract: Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently enroll computing devices into a mobile device management system, even when those computing devices are offline and not connected to the system. A management server can include a console that allows the administrator to enroll an offline computing device by selecting an offline enrollment option on a registration record. This option can cause the management server to create a device record, indicating the computing device is enrolled. The management server can also create and save a provisioning file onto a storage device, such as a USB drive. Assets, such as graphics and applications, specified by the device record are also saved onto the storage device. The storage device can be physically connected to the computing device, at which point the provisioning file guides automatic installation of the assets and implementation of device settings and compliance rules specified by the device record.

  • Patent number: 11775347
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method performed by a data processing (DP) accelerator includes receiving, at the DP accelerator, first data representing an artificial intelligence (AI) model that has been previously trained from a host processor; receiving, at the DP accelerator, a request to implant a watermark in the AI model from the host processor; and implanting, by the DP accelerator, the watermark within the AI model. The DP accelerator then transmits second data representing the AI model having the watermark implanted therein to the host processor. In embodiment, the method further includes extracting, at the DP accelerator, a watermark algorithm identifier (ID) from the request to implant a watermark; and generating the watermark using a watermark algorithm identified by the watermark algorithm ID.

  • Patent number: 11768944
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a non-intrusive method of detecting security flaws of a computer program APP. The method comprises a step of installing and executing an executable and non-instumentalized version of the program APP in a computer system 1, the computer system 1 comprising at least one cryptographic function able to be called by the program APP. It also comprises, in the course of the execution of the program, a step of recording in a tracing file the modalities of calls to the cryptographic function and, after the execution of the program, a step of analyzing the tracing file so as to devise a data structure of the states taken by the cryptographic object manipulated in the course of the execution of the program. The data structure is analyzed to detect calls to the cryptographic function that are liable to form a security flaw.

  • Patent number: 11700267
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a threat intelligence system include a system provider device that downloads, through communication over a network and from one or more targeted websites, a plurality of images of a first environment. Based on an OCR process, the system provider device may extract a set of textual data corresponding to a subset of images of the plurality of images, where the subset of images depict text. The system provider device stores the set of textual data in an indexed and searchable database. The system provider device assigns a threat assessment score to each image based on the set of textual data, and the threat assessment score may be updated based on comparison of the set of textual data with other sets of textual data. Based on the threat assessment score being greater than a threshold value, the system provider device may generate a security alert.

  • Patent number: 11665146
    Abstract: Techniques involving migrating authenticated content on a network towards the consumer of the content. One representative technique includes a network node receiving an encrypted seed having at least a location of the user data at a network service that stores the user data, and a cryptographic key to access the user data. The seed is received in response to a user login attempt to the network service. The user data is requested from the location using at least the received cryptographic key. The method further includes receiving and storing the user data at the network node, where the network node is physically closer to a location of the user than is the location of the network service. If the user is successfully authenticated, user access is provided to the stored user data at the network node rather than from the network service.
