Publication number: 20240064218Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing a software defined industrial system are described herein. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. In response to a node failing, a module may be redeployed to a replacement node. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device and use a module manifest to generate a control system application. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state, which may be changed to an activated state in response an activation signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Rita H.

Patent number: 10749683Abstract: Technologies for end-to-end biometric-based authentication and locality assertion include a computing device with one or more biometric devices. The computing device may securely exchange a key between a driver and a secure enclave. The driver may receive biometric data from the biometric sensor in a virtualization-protected memory buffer and encrypt the biometric data with the shared key. The secure enclave may decrypt the biometric data and perform a biometric authentication operation. The computing device may measure a virtual machine monitor (VMM) to generate attestation information for the VMM. A secure enclave may execute a virtualization report instruction to request the attestation information. The processor may copy the attestation information into the secure enclave memory. The secure enclave may verify the attestation information with a remote attestation server. If verified, the secure enclave may provide a shared secret to the VMM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Ansuya Negi, Nitin V. Sarangdhar, Ulhas S.

Patent number: 10360442Abstract: System and techniques for spoofing detection in image biometrics are described herein. A sequence of images may be obtained from a camera; a first plurality of images in the sequence of images including a representation of a user body part, and a second plurality of images in the sequence of images including a representation of an environment of the user. A marker may be created for the representation of the body part. A feature of the environment of the user present during the second plurality of images may be identified in the sequence of images using a third group of circuits. A correlation between the marker and the feature of the environment in the sequence of images may be quantified to produce a synchronicity metric of the degree to which the marker and the feature of the environment correlate.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Ansuya Negi, Scott Pfursich, David L.
