Abstract: Privacy-preserving homomorphic inferencing utilizes batch processing on encrypted data records. Each data record has a private data portion of interest against which the inferencing is carried out. Batch processing is enabled with respect to a set of encrypted data records by techniques that ensure that each encrypted data record has its associated private data portion in a unique location relative to the other data records. The set of encrypted data records are then summed to generate a single encrypted data record against which the inferencing is done. In a first embodiment, the private data portions of interest are selectively and uniquely positioned at runtime (when the inferencing is being applied). In a second embodiment, the private data portions of interest are initially positioned with the data-at-rest, preferably in an off-line process; thereafter, at runtime individual encrypted data records are processed as necessary to adjust the private data portions to unique positions prior to batching.

Abstract: An efficient packing method that will optimize use of the homomorphic encryption ciphertext slots, trading-off size, latency, and throughput. Technology for working with tensors (multi-dimensional arrays) in a system that imposes tiles, that is, fixed-size vectors. An example of a system that imposes tiles are homomorphic encryption schemes, where each ciphertext encrypts a vector of some fixed size. The tensors are packed into tiles and then manipulated via operations on those tiles. Also, syntax for notation for describing packing details. This technology interprets the tiles as multi-dimensional arrays, and combines them to cover enough space to hold the tensor. An efficient summation algorithm can then sum over any dimension of this tile tensor construct that exists in the physical or logical addressing space of a computer data memory.

Abstract: Embodiments may provide distance computations on homomorphic and/or functional encrypted vectors while detecting whether the resulting distance has wrapped around due to the vectors having elements not in an allowed range. A method of user authentication processing may comprise receiving and storing enrollment information from a client computer system, the enrollment information comprising a template of authentication data and at least one additional encrypted vector, receiving an additional template to be used to authenticate the user from the client computer system, authenticating the user using the received additional template using the stored template and the stored at least one additional encrypted vector, and determining that authentication is successful when the received additional template matches the stored template and is valid based on the stored at least one additional encrypted vector.

Abstract: An example system includes a processor to receive, at a setup or sign-up, a first cipher including a biometric template transformed using a first transformation and encrypted using a secret key, a second cipher including a security vector encrypted using the secret key, a third cipher including the biometric template transformed using a second transformation and encrypted, and a fourth cipher including an encrypted second security vector. The processor can receive, at a runtime or sign-in, a fifth cipher and a sixth cipher. The processor can verify that the fifth cipher includes a second biometric template transformed using the first transformation and encrypted using the secret key and that the sixth cipher includes the second biometric template transformed using the second transformation by testing a format attribute of the transformation functions using comparisons of inner products.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide the capability to identify security breaches in computer systems from clustering properties of clusters generated based on monitored behavior of users of the computer systems by using techniques that provide improved performance and reduced resource requirements. For example, behavior of users or resources may be monitored and analyzed to generate clusters and train clustering models. Labeling information relating to some user or resource may be received. When users or resources are clustered and when a cluster contains some labeled users/resources then an anomaly score can be determined for a user/resource belonging to the cluster. A user or resource may be detected to be an outlier of at least one cluster to which the user or resource has been assigned, and an alert indicating detection of the outlier may be generated.

Abstract: Setting a budget of alerts for single or multiple risk score types, adjusting a working threshold based on the set budget, wherein adjusting the working threshold is done by defining an reference threshold for an alert, providing a history of recorded risk scores within a budget sliding interval window and adjusting the working threshold such that a number of alerts which would have been provided by the recorded risk scores is calculated to stay within the set budget, and using the adjusted working threshold to normalize and optionally combine incoming risk scores so as to determine whether an incoming risk score should receive an alert.

Abstract: A computer receives human generated reference strings and determines the character, n-gram, type switch, and subtype switch distributions of the reference strings. Each of the aforementioned distributions include corresponding statistical data, such as an average frequency, maximum frequency, minimum frequency, and standard deviation. The computer then receives one or more test strings from which the computer similarly computes the aforementioned statistical data for each of the aforementioned distributions. The computer then compares the distributions of the test string(s) with the distributions of the reference strings. Based on the deviation of the test string distributions from the reference string distributions, the computer determines whether the test strings are human or machine generated.

In one aspect, a method for analyzing crop yield is provided. The method includes the steps of: obtaining crop yield data for a farm; cleansing the crop yield data using a data filter(s), wherein one or more data points are eliminated from the crop yield data by the data filter; and redistributing a value of the data points eliminated from the crop yield data to data points remaining in the crop yield data to create a crop yield distribution for the farm.
