Abstract: A system for controlling accesses to network enabled devices includes a network interface over which a hub communicates with network enabled devices, a processor, and a multilayer access control layer. The access control layer includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect, at the hub, a request representing an attempt by an application executing on a remote host device to access a network enabled device communicatively coupled to the hub, characterize the request according to a user of the remote host device, the application making the attempt, and the network enabled device, and determine whether to allow or deny the request based upon the characterization and a plurality of rules. The rules may include definitions of access rights, with respect to the network enabled device, for users, applications, commands or queries made by applications, remote host devices, and network domains.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to establish a connection with a router, obtain identification for the router, communicate the identification of the router to a network element, receive a hash of at least a portion of a certificate for the router, and disconnect the connection and establish a new connection with the router, where the hash is used to authenticate network services received from the router during the new connection. In an example, the hash is part of a subject public key infrastructure (SPKI) pin set.

Abstract: A reinforcement learning neural network system in which internal representations and policies are grounded in visual entities derived from image pixels comprises a visual entity identifying neural network subsystem configured to process image data to determine a set of spatial maps representing respective discrete visual entities. A reinforcement learning neural network subsystem processes data from the set of spatial maps and environmental reward data to provide action data for selecting actions to perform a task.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to implement cooperative mitigation of distributed denial of service attacks originating in local networks are disclosed. An example local network router disclosed herein includes a mitigator to mitigate a distributed denial of service attack detected by an Internet service provider, the distributed denial of service attack associated with network traffic originating from a first device connected to a local network. The example local network router also includes a threat signaling server to identify the first device based on first information received from a threat signaling client of the Internet service provider, the first information describing the distributed denial of service attack. The example threat signaling server is also to transmit second information to notify the threat signaling client of the Internet service provider when the network traffic associated with the distributed denial of service attack has been mitigated.

Abstract: A safety event is determined as affecting a user based at least in part context data collected at a user device associated with the user. In some aspects, context data is detected from sensors on the client device, the context data describing a present context of the user. A deviation of the present context from a historical context is determined to be beyond a threshold. Determining that the deviation is beyond the threshold can be determined to correspond to a safety event potentially jeopardizing safety of the user. In some aspects, an action can be launched in response to determining the safety event.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for performing anti-malware scanning of data files that is data-centric rather than device-centric.
