Abstract: Aspects related to the secure transfer and use of secret material are described. In one embodiment, an encrypted secret key and encrypted revocation data are imported into a trusted execution environment and decrypted with private provider and vendor keys. In this manner, a provider of cryptographic processes is not exposed to the secret key or revocation data of a customer, as the secret key and revocation data are decrypted and stored within the trusted execution environment but not accessed in an unencrypted form. In turn, the provider can receive various instructions to perform cryptographic operations on behalf of the customer. Based on the outcome of a revocation check using the revocation data, the instructions can be performed by the trusted execution environment.

Each sequential knife has a corrugated shape comprising peaks and valleys, and the sequential knives are arranged to be in phase or out of phase alignment with each other.

Abstract: Knife assemblies and methods therefor that are adapted to be used with a cutting apparatus capable of producing a variety of shaped food products having large amplitudes, for example, sliced, shredded, and strip-cut food products. The knife assembly includes a primary blade having a corrugated shape to produce a large-amplitude food product slice having a periodic shape, and at least one tab blade assembled with or formed from the primary blade to cut a food product slice into strips.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for replicating authentication data between computing devices. A computing device detects a change to a user account made by a first client device associated with the user account. The computing device then determines that a second client device associated with the user account comprises locally stored authentication data that fails to reflect the change. The computing device then sends an update to the second client device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed generally to systems and methods for scheduling dynamic frequency selection channel availability checks. The systems and methods may include detecting lull times in between servicing clients, and scanning for channel availability during the lull times.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing dynamic rate adjustment for interaction monitoring are disclosed. At an entity, the collection of trace information is initiated according to a first sampling rate. The trace information is indicative of interactions between the entity and one or more additional entities. A second sampling rate is determined based at least in part on information external to the entity. The second sampling rate is determined after the collection of the trace information is initiated at the entity according to the first sampling rate. At the entity, the collection of additional trace information is initiated according to the second sampling rate.

Abstract: A resource owner or administrator submits a request to a permissions management service to create a permissions grant which may include a listing of actions a user may perform on a resource. Accordingly, the permissions management service may create the permissions grant and use a private cryptographic key to digitally sign the created permissions grant. The permissions management service may transmit this digitally signed permissions grant, as well as a digital certificate comprising a public cryptographic key for validating the permissions grant, to a target resource. The target resource may use the public cryptographic key to validate the digital signature of the permissions grant and determine whether a user is authorized to perform one or more actions based at least in part on a request from the user to perform these one or more actions on the resource.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for replicating authentication data between computing devices. A computing device monitors a first certificate store located on a first client device for a change in a first state of the first certificate store. The computing device updates a record of the first state of the first certificate store with the change in the first state of the first certificate store, wherein the record is stored in a memory of the computing device. The computing device then determines that the first state of the first certificate store differs from a second state of a second certificate store located on a second client device. Finally, the computing device sends an update to the second client device, wherein the update comprises a change set representing a difference between the updated record and the second certificate store.

Abstract: Computing devices are disclosed that include functionality for providing a trustworthy indication of software integrity. The computing devices include a hardware trust evaluation device capable of determining the trustworthiness of computer programs executing on the devices. At least one trust indicator is also connected to the hardware trust evaluation device for providing an external indication of the trustworthiness of a computer program. Additional security information regarding the trustworthiness of the computer program may be displayed on the primary display device of the computing device. The display of the security information is triggered by a user of the computing device submitting a request through a secure mechanism, where the request is unobservable and inaccessible to programs executing on the computing device. Additional secure mechanisms, such as a unique user interface for displaying the security information, can be utilized to ensure the authenticity of the displayed security information.

Abstract: Application developers may develop applications or portions of application that do not have a corresponding user interface. Testing non-user interface elements of an application may require application developers to develop corresponding user interface elements for all or a portion of the executable code included in the application. Developers may test non-user interface elements of an application or library by wrapping the executable code in a sample application managed by a test harness. The test harness may transmit test operations configured to test the non-user interface elements of the application to the sample application over an inter-process communication channel. The sample application may execute the test and return the results of the test to the test harness using inter-process communication methods.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for correlating a first use case-specific entity identifier with a second use case-specific entity identifier. A chained entity identifier corresponds to the first use case-specific entity identifier. The chained entity identifier can include the second use case-specific entity identifier cryptographically wrapped by a use case-specific key. The second use case-specific entity identifier can be received from the chained entity identifier. The second use case-specific entity identifier can be correlated to the first use case-specific entity identifier.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for network site account management using a proxy server. A request for a secured resource on a network site is generated based at least in part on stored account information in response to receiving an initial request for the secured resource from a client. The request is sent to the network site. The secured resource is sent to the client in response to receiving the secured resource from the network site.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for creating and manipulating chained entity identifiers that include multiple use case-specific entity identifiers. Each of the use case-specific entity identifiers may identify a single entity but may differ, as they are use case-specific. Further, each of the use case-specific entity identifiers may be encrypted and/or signed using different use case-specific keys. The use case-specific entity identifiers may be nested or appended within a chained entity identifier.
