Publication number: 20240144171Abstract: A method implemented by computer servers associated with a procurement services platform includes accessing data for a set of transactions associated with a potential procurement transaction between a purchaser entity and a plurality of supplier entities. The transactions include a line-item. The method includes inputting the data for the set of transactions into a machine-learning model trained to generate a prediction of a price quotation for each of the plurality of supplier entities based on the line-item. The prediction of the price quotation includes an estimated reasonable price for a supplier entity to supply a product or service to the purchaser entity. The method includes generating, by the machine-learning model, the prediction of the price quotation for each of the plurality of supplier entities and generating a recommendation for each of the plurality of supplier entities based on the prediction of the price quotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Edmund Adam ZAGORIN, Benjamin Kingsland LEIKEN, Eric David BURAS

Patent number: 11973861Abstract: A key updater for a first party operating on a network generates a mutually distilled key for communication between the first party and a second party. The key updater determines a set of verifying parties operating on the network needed to authenticate the mutually distilled key, wherein each verifying party of the set of verifying parties operates on the network. The key updater iteratively executes a key equivalency test for each verifying party in the set of verifying parties to determine a nonce sum until the key equivalency test has been executed for each of the verifying parties in the set of verifying parties or until it is determined that at least one node on the network has been compromised. The key updater generates a final key for communication between the first party and the second party based on the nonce sum and the mutually distilled key.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Benjamin Adams Burnett, Calvin Bansal Stanley, Lisa P.
