Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for an impersonation attack detection and prevention system. Aspects include receiving a communication from a user of a communication environment. Aspects further include generating a similarity score using metadata of the communication from the user and a digital persona associated with the user in the communication environment. Aspects also include determining that the communication is a potential impersonation attack threat by determining that the similarity score is below a threshold value. Aspects include performing a security action to protect the communication environment from the potential impersonation attack threat.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a computer implemented method for identifying, validating and authenticating a user using biological patterns and numbers. The method includes prompting a user to enter a password into an authentication software, where the password is responsive to selected user fingers, selected user fingerprints and a selected entry pattern of the user fingers and user fingerprints. A biometric sensing device is operated to obtain biometric data responsive to sensed user fingers, sensed user fingerprints and a sensed entry pattern. The biometric data is processed to determine characteristic features of at least one of the sensed user fingers, the sensed user fingerprints and the sensed entry pattern and the characteristic features is compared with the user data to determine if the characteristic features match the user data. The user is allowed or denied entry into a computer system responsive to whether the characteristic features match the user data.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method includes: obtaining, by a computing device, a user request to access at least one system resource; obtaining, by the computing device, a digital certificate of the user requesting access to the at least one system resource; obtaining, by the computing device, a validation result associated with the digital certificate from a blockchain ledger network; determining, by the computing device, whether the validation result authorizes access to an authorization service; and sending the authorization to the authorization service to deny or permit the user access to the at least one system resource based on the validation result.

Embodiments of the present invention identify locations of potentially sensitive data. Embodiments of the present invention identify a set of individuals associated with the potentially sensitive data and determine whether an application can be installed based on content of potentially sensitive data and on elections of respective individuals associated with the potentially sensitive data.

Abstract: This disclosure presents an approach for identifying obfuscation patterns within system log files to enhance cybersecurity. The method involves two key stages: first, detecting tampering in a primary set of log entries; and second, monitoring a secondary set of log files for the presence of these tampering patterns. By comparing the identified obfuscation patterns in the primary log entries with those detected in the secondary set, the system can effectively identify potential system intrusions. This innovative approach provides an advanced and proactive means of bolstering system security by uncovering and responding to malicious activities that attempt to obscure their tracks within log files, ultimately enhancing the defense against cyber threats.

Abstract: An approach is provided that displays avatars locating in a first virtual area to a first set of users with each user controlling one of the avatars. A request is received from one of the users to escape a situation. In response to the request, the system clones the user's first avatar thus creating a second avatar. The second avatar is visible to the user; however it is invisible to one or more of the set of users. The user controls the second avatar and the first avatar is automatically controlled using artificial intelligence (AI), with the user no longer controlling the first avatar.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to three-dimensional (3D) printing and, more particularly, to robotic support for 3D prints. For example, a computer-implemented method includes identifying, by the computing device, at least one structure in the 3D object source file requiring support for printing the at least one structure by a 3D printer; adding, by the computing device, to a 3D print file an instruction to request deployment of a support structure at a particular location to support the at least one structure by the 3D printer; and providing to the 3D printer, by the computing device, the 3D print file with the instruction to request deployment of the support structure at a particular location to support the at least one structure by the 3D printer.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that determines that a change is needed to a remote system that is managed by a change management system that manages changes to many remote systems. A change management time window when the change is scheduled to be performed at the selected remote system is identified and a monitoring request is sent to the remote system. The monitoring request causes the remote system to run a monitoring process. The change management system receives an activity notification that was identified by the monitoring process. In response to the activity notification matching the change needed, the change scheduled at the selected remote system is canceled by the change management system.

Abstract: A voice signal in a headphone is detected. The voice signal includes a person speaking an audible command. Based on detecting the voice signal a first biometric signature of a user is retrieved. The first biometric signature is compared to one or more biometric features of the person. Based on comparing the first biometric signature to the one or more biometric features an authentication of the user is determined. An authentication action is performed based on the detected voice signal. The authentication action is performed in response to verifying the authentication.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to removing interactions from a virtual environment thereby executing the right to be forgotten in the virtual environment. In response to receiving a request to remove interactions from a virtual environment, a search is performed in the virtual environment for cryptographic keys embedded with a user identification corresponding to the request. The cryptographic keys embedded with the user identification are deleted in the virtual environment, where the interactions have been signed with the cryptographic keys embedded with the user identification in the virtual environment. In response to deleting the cryptographic keys embedded with the user identification in the virtual environment, there is a modification to a presentation of the interactions in the virtual environment.
