Abstract: Techniques for authentication of digital recordings are provided. An element of encrypted data is output in a recording environment. The element of encrypted data, embedded in a digital recording comprising at least one of audio data and image data captured in the recording environment, is extracted. A decrypted value is generated based on a private key and the first element of encrypted data, and the first decrypted value and a stored value associated with a first element of the digital recording are compared. The digital recording is authenticated based on the first decrypted value substantially matching the stored value.

Abstract: Techniques for analysis of verification parameters and reduction of training data are provided. A plurality of test results is received, where each of the plurality of test results specifies a respective one or more parameters and a respective one or more events. A list of parameters used to stimulate computing logic is determined. Additionally, a plurality of relevant parameters is generated, corresponding to parameters in the list of parameters that have at least two distinct values specified in the plurality of test results. A plurality of training cases is generated based on the plurality of test results and the plurality of relevant parameters. Further, a neural network is generated for design verification of the computing logic based on the plurality of relevant parameters. The neural network is trained based on the plurality of training cases.

Abstract: A computer system, processor, and method for processing information is disclosed that includes watching logical operations to detect unauthorized attempts to access a register, and taking evasive action in response to detecting unauthorized attempts to access the register. In an embodiment, the register is a hidden, secret, restricted, or undocumented register, and the method further includes, in response to unauthorized attempts to access the secret register, locking the contents of the secret register. The evasive action may include one or more of interrupting the operations of the processor; causing the processor to shut-down, malfunction, lock, self-destruct; no longer providing read or write permission or access to the register; releasing data disguised to look like the real register data while not releasing the real data; and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Techniques for enhanced security for disconnected devices are provided. A request for one or more attributes of a security component is received by the security component, from a requesting device. The one or more attributes are provided to the requesting device, where the requesting device transmits the one or more attributes to a network service, where the security component is not able to communicate with the network service. A token is received from the requesting device, where the requesting device received the token in response to transmitting the one or more attributes to the network service. A level of access is determined for the requesting device, based on validating the token using a predefined configuration of the security component. Finally, the determined level of access is provided to the requesting device.
