Abstract: Methods and systems for securing an application programming interface (API) are presented. The method comprises: receiving API workflow data associated with an API testing tool and generating a scan configuration file using the API workflow data; crawling the collection of API requests by identifying and retrieving a link associated with the collection of API requests; and crawling the link to generate a crawled link response. The method also includes executing one or more vulnerability tests on the crawled link response including applying at least one passive detection rule to the crawled link response and fuzzing the link. The fuzzed link may be transmitted in a request to an application server following which scan data indicative of at least one vulnerability associated with a response from the application server may be generated. The scan data may be used to generate a vulnerability report.

Abstract: Methods and systems use a second dataset comprising independently validated data based on labeled blockchain operations previously processed through the blockchain network. The use of the second dataset in conjunction with the dataset comprising labeled blockchain characteristics data received from a plurality of sources provides a comprehensive input for a machine learning model to identify and label suspicious blockchain operations. By doing so, the system mitigates fraudulent, criminal, or suspicious transactions. For example, the system may send an alert to a user if a behavior type is deemed a high risk by the machine learning model; the system may furthermore hold the funds associated with the blockchain operation in a separate account while the transaction is manually reviewed.

Abstract: Methods and systems that use of a multi-tiered machine learning architecture that aggregates traits of blockchain and off-chain operations. The multi-tiered machine learning architecture then uses this data to generate recommendations related to account identities for communications (e.g., blockchain operations) that occur across decentralized applications.

Abstract: Provided is a point-of-sale system for processing biometric inputs, comprising a fingerprint reader configured to receive a plurality of fingerprints simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, an input device configured to receive transaction data, a communication device, and at least one processor in communication with the fingerprint reader, the input device, and the communication device. The at least one processor is programmed or configured to generate at least one transaction message for a transaction based at least partially on a plurality of account identifiers corresponding to the plurality of fingerprints received by the fingerprint reader and the transaction data received by the input device, the at least one transaction message comprising an apportionment of the transaction value among the plurality of account identifiers, and communicate, with the communication device, the at least one transaction message to a transaction processing server.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to thin-film solar cells with improved efficiency and methods for producing thin-film solar cells having increased efficiency. In certain embodiments, thin-film solar cells having an efficiency of over 21%, over 20%, over 19%, over 15%, over 10%, etc. has been obtained using the methods of the disclosure. In certain aspects, the methods of the disclosure use passivation, passivating oxides, and/or doping treatments in increase the efficiency of the thin-film solar cells; e.g., CdTe-based thin-film solar cells.

Abstract: Lead free microdet electric detonators comprising a bridgewire having milled DBX-1 as a spot charge and unmilled DBX-1 as the intermediate material. Such improved microdet electric detonator is free of lead azide and lead styphnate, but with comparable stability, power and sensitivity to current lead-based M100 electric detonators.
