Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media provide automatic detection of cryptographic algorithms susceptible to compromise by a quantum computer. A method includes receiving, by a trained machine learning (ML) model, a file; executing the trained ML model on the file to generate an output, the output indicating, for each cryptography algorithm of a plurality of cryptography algorithms that are susceptible to compromise by a quantum computer, whether the cryptography algorithm is embodied in or used by the file. Responsive to determining at least one of the cryptography algorithms is embodied or used in the file, performing a mitigation action that reduces or eliminates a vulnerability of the file to compromise by a quantum computer.

Abstract: A system converts mechanical wave energy into electrical energy. The system includes a wave energy converter (WEC), which includes a surface float, a reaction structure, a plurality of flexible tethers, and a plurality of drivetrains. Each flexible tether connects the surface float to the reaction structure. Each drivetrain is connected to a corresponding flexible tether. Each flexible tether has a length established to treat the system as an inverse pendulum to utilize a horizontal surge motion of the surface float to present tension at the corresponding drivetrain for production of electrical energy from the horizontal surge motion.

Abstract: A way is provided to protect memory blocks from unauthorized access from executable instructions by defining various sets of instructions that are specifically bound to operate on defined memory blocks and inhibited from operating in other memory blocks. For instance, executable code may include a plurality of distinct read and write instructions where each read and/or write instruction is specific to one memory access tag from a plurality of different memory access tags. Memory blocks are also established and each memory block is associated with one of the plurality of different memory access tags. Consequently, if a first read and/or write instruction, associated with a first memory access tag, attempts to access a memory block associated with a different memory access tag, then execution of the first read and/or write instruction is inhibited or aborted.

Abstract: In a broad aspect of the invention there are provided liquid infused surfaces that feature drag reducing characteristics. In a further broad aspect, the present invention provides methods for designing and fabricating liquid infused surfaces that feature drag reducing characteristics. In a yet further broad aspect the present invention provides methods for increasing the operating efficiency of systems in which a flowing bulk fluid is in contact with a patterned surface, the increased operating efficiency specifically being realized from a reduction of the drag forces due to the bulk fluid flowing over the patterned surface.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for detecting return-oriented programming (ROP) exploits are disclosed. A system includes a processor, a main memory, and a cache memory. A cache monitor develops an instruction loading profile by monitoring accesses to cached instructions found in the cache memory and misses to instructions not currently in the cache memory. A remedial action unit terminates execution of one or more of the valid code sequences if the instruction loading profile is indicative of execution of an ROP exploit involving one or more valid code sequences. The instruction loading profile may be a hit/miss ratio derived from monitoring cache hits relative to cache misses. The ROP exploits may include code snippets that each include an executable instruction and a return instruction from valid code sequences.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system to implement a method to deliver a targeted content message to a mobile device base on the location of the mobile device. The system may identify a set of businesses within a coverage area of a femtocell base station to produce gathered information. The system may receive a request for a call establishment indicator from the mobile device through the femtocell base station. Targeted content messages may be identified as a function of the gathered information. Moreover, the targeted content message then may be sent to the mobile device as part of the call establishment indicator.
