  • Patent number: 11929992
    Abstract: Secrets such as secure session cookies for a web browser can be protected on a compute instance with multiple layers of encryption, such as by encrypting key material that in turn controls cryptographic access to the secret. A compute instance can be instrumented to detect when a process attempts to decrypt this key material so that the process requesting decryption can be compared to authorized or legitimate users of the secret.

  • Publication number: 20230281850
    Abstract: A self-contained, low-cost, low-weight guidance system for vehicles is provided. The guidance system can include an optical camera, a case, a processor, a connection between the processor and an on-board control system, and computer algorithms running on the processor. The guidance system can be integrated with a vehicle control system through “plug and play” functionality or a more open Software Development Kit. The computer algorithms re-create 3D structures as the vehicle travels and continuously updates a 3D model of the environment. The guidance system continuously identifies and tracks terrain, static objects, and dynamic objects through real-time camera images. The guidance system can receive inputs from the camera and the onboard control system. The guidance system can be used to assist vehicle navigation and to avoid possible collisions. The guidance system can communicate with the control system and provide navigational direction to the control system.
