  • Publication number: 20240403332
    Abstract: A data classification system obtains a data set including first data associated with a first characteristic and second data associated with a second characteristic. In response to obtaining the data set, the system uses a classification model to generate a classification by classifying the first data into majority data and the second data into minority data. From the classification and using the classification model, the system determines a loss. The system modifies the classification model based on this loss to generate an updated classification model. The system uses the updated classification model to re-classify a subset of the first data into the minority data and a subset of the second data into the majority data.

  • Publication number: 20240054849
    Abstract: A self-service kiosk includes a housing and an imaging device in a key fob receptacle in the housing. The imaging device captures an image of a master key fob placed in the receptacle. The kiosk includes a key fob dispenser having a dispensing slot to receive a duplicated key fob and a dispensing mechanism to dispense the duplicated key fob into the dispensing slot. The kiosk also includes a processor that receives an image from the imaging device, and detects a presence of the master key fob in the key fob receptacle based on an analysis of the received image. Upon detecting the presence of the master key fob, the processor reads codes stored on the master key fob, writes the codes on a blank key fob to generate the duplicated key fob, and causes the dispensing mechanism to dispense the duplicated key fob in the dispensing slot.

  • Publication number: 20230418647
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for providing name resolution services to components executing in a virtualized environment. A name resolution request generated by a component executing within a virtualized environment is intercepted and forwarded from the virtualized environment to a host operating system (“OS”). A user process is then executed that requests that the host OS resolve a name specified by the intercepted name resolution request. Once the user process has received a response to the name resolution request made to the host OS, a response to the original name resolution request made by the component executing within the virtualized environment can be generated based on the response received by the user process. The response to the original name resolution request can then be provided to the component executing in the virtualized environment that requested name resolution.

  • Publication number: 20230370306
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for enabling virtual private network (VPN) support in a virtualized environment. The presence or creation of a host VPN adapter on a host processing system providing a virtualized environment is detected and, in response thereto, a virtual network adapter is created in the virtualized environment. A guest operating system (OS) creates a guest VPN adapter in the virtualized environment. A software component is inserted between the guest VPN adapter and the virtual network adapter. The software component adds Ethernet frames to point-to-point protocol (PPP) packets received from the guest VPN adapter and removes Ethernet frames from packets received from the virtual network adapter.

  • Publication number: 20230370427
    Abstract: A network firewall is disclosed that operates between a virtualized environment and the processing system that provides the virtualized environment. The network firewall filters network traffic generated by and destined for program components executing in the virtualized environment. The network firewall can be located in a hypervisor, a flow steering engine, or at another location between the virtualized environment and the processing system. The network firewall utilizes a firewall policy that can be shared with a network firewall on the processing system that filters network traffic originating at or destined for the processing system. The network firewall can filter network traffic based upon a unique identifier assigned to a virtualized environment, upon port numbers assigned to program components in a virtualized environment, or upon profiles assigned to network interfaces. The network firewall can also filter loopback traffic between a guest operating system (OS) and a host OS.
