Abstract: Access to web services is managed. Metrics associated with accesses to a service are collected, and the metrics include activities associated with a user. A profile associated with the user is generated and updated. One or more metrics of an incoming access request to the service are compared against the profile using a statistical measure and a corresponding threshold for detecting an anomaly. The threshold is determined based on associations between a distribution of the metrics of the profile and a subset of other profile metric distributions. There is a determination of whether the incoming access request is an anomaly based on the comparison.

Abstract: Security is managed on a collaboration of plural computers that together define a trusted network environment. Each computer presents one or more real services and one or more spoof services which spoof real services on a subset of ports. At any one computer of the plural computers, unauthorized or suspicious activity from a device is detected at the subset of ports. A message is transmitted from the one computer to the plural computers on the network informing of the activity. In response to receiving one or more messages pertaining to the device, each computer individually changes its access rules to block the device.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for provisioning a device receive authentication information from a user interface; send the authentication information to an identity provider device; receive a token at the registration device from the identify provider device; send the token, device information of a new device, and a provisioning request from the registration device to a provisioning service; receive an activation code at a user interface of the new device; send the activation code and the token from the new device to the provisioning device; and receive a key from the provisioning device, the key being associated with the device identifier of the new device.

Abstract: Filter processing is performed on an image, in which a filter kernel having coefficients corresponding to positions of pixels is applied at a target pixel position and to sample pixels positioned in the neighborhood of the target pixel position. A bin is assigned to each unique coefficient of the filter kernel. A mask having respective positions corresponding to the positions of the filter kernel is created. Each respective position of the mask indexes to the bin for the coefficient corresponding to that position. The mask is positioned at the target pixel position, and the respective pixel value of each sample pixel is accumulated in the bin corresponding to the position of the sample pixel in the mask. The accumulated pixel values in each respective bin are multiplied by the coefficient corresponding to the bin. The resultant products are summed to determine a filtered pixel value at the target pixel position.

Abstract: An erosion image is generated from an original digital image utilizing a processing image (b) and a target image (T), where each pixel in the target image is processed in parallel. The process entails, for each target pixel, i) determining coordinate values for the target pixel, ii) determining a surrounding pixel area for the target pixel, iii) and processing each pixel in the surrounding pixel area to determine whether or not to updated the value of the target pixel. In processing each surrounding pixel, a determination is made whether the pixel has a value of 1. If not, then the next surrounding pixel is processed. If so, then a determination is made which pixel element of a structuring element overlays the target pixel, and whether that SE pixel has a value of 1. If so, then the value of the target pixel is updated. If not, then the next pixel in the surrounding pixel area is processed. Once the target pixel has been updated a set number of times to a predetermined value (e.g.

Abstract: A histogram is generated. An image is input, and a pixel value is assigned to each pixel of the input image. A set of bin indexes is defined, with each bin index representing one or more possible numerical values for a pixel. A parallel sort is applied to the pixel values in order to generate a set of sorted pixel values. A parallel search is applied to the sorted pixel values for each bin index to find the position of the bin index in the sorted pixel values. A number of pixels in a bin corresponding to each bin index is generated, based on the difference between the position of the bin index in the sorted pixel values and the position of a subsequent bin index in the sorted pixel values. The histogram is generated based on the number of pixels in the bins corresponding to each bin index.
