  • Patent number: 11562086
    Abstract: A stackable filesystem architecture that curtails data theft and ensures file integrity protection. In this architecture, processes are grouped into ranked filesystem views, or “security domains.” Preferably, an order theory algorithm is utilized to determine a proper domain in which an application is run. In particular, a root domain provides a single view of the filesystem enabling transparent filesystem operations. Each security domain transparently creates multiple levels of stacking to protect the base filesystem, and to monitor file accesses without incurring significant performance overhead. By combining its layered architecture with view separation via security domains, the filesystem maintains data integrity and confidentiality.

  • Patent number: 11163860
    Abstract: A framework to accurately and quickly verify the ownership of remotely-deployed deep learning models is provided without affecting model accuracy for normal input data. The approach involves generating a watermark, embedding the watermark in a local deep neural network (DNN) model by learning, namely, by training the local DNN model to learn the watermark and a predefined label associated therewith, and later performing a black-box verification against a remote service that is suspected of executing the DNN model without permission. The predefined label is distinct from a true label for a data item in training data for the model that does not include the watermark. Black-box verification includes simply issuing a query that includes a data item with the watermark, and then determining whether the query returns the predefined label.

  • Publication number: 20210150042
    Abstract: A neural network is trained using a training data set, resulting in a set of model weights, namely, a matrix X, corresponding to the trained network. The set of model weights is then modified to produce a locked matrix X?, which is generated by applying a key. In one embodiment, the key is a binary matrix {0, 1} that zeros (masks) out certain neurons in the network, thereby protecting the network. In another embodiment, the key comprises a matrix of sign values {?1, +1}. In yet another embodiment, the key comprises a set of real values. Preferably, the key is derived by applying a key derivation function to a secret value. The key is symmetric, such that the key used to protect the model weight matrix X (to generate the locked matrix) is also used to recover that matrix, and thus enable access to the model as it was trained.

  • Patent number: 10673839
    Abstract: Networks and methods for use in authenticating messages are provided. One exemplary method generally includes receiving a message from a client, where the message includes a client certificate. The method also includes validating, by an application programming interface (API) gateway, a computing device based on a certificate identifying the computing device as a recognized computing device, and validating, by the API gateway, the client based on the client certificate via a global access manager, separate from the repository. The method further includes causing a security token indicative of the client to be generated, when the computing device and the client are validated, whereby the security token is indicative of the client and permits the message, from the client, to be delivered to one or more backend services.

  • Patent number: 8121781
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing the amount of repetitive data sent by a server to a client for vehicle navigation. The system includes a computer-based vehicle unit located in a vehicle, a gateway configured to wirelessly send and receive trip information to and from the vehicle unit, and a computer-based server in communication with the gateway over a network. The vehicle unit wirelessly receives signals from a computer-based server that includes the desired navigation information in packet form. The vehicle unit includes a user interface component that presents the received navigation information and records user requests. The server processes the requests, generates a trip plan according to the navigation information and sends the generated trip plan back to the vehicle unit via a gateway when a request has been completed.

  • Patent number: 7828325
    Abstract: An air-bag (1) is provided with a vent aperture (2). A membrane (3) extends across the vent aperture, the membrane defining a smaller aperture (4) than the vent aperture (2). The periphery of the aperture is defined by a thickened part of the membrane. The membrane is formed of an elastic material such as a silicone rubber material. When a very high pressure exists in the air-bag the vent becomes deformed, thus increasing the size of the aperture defined by the membrane, permitting a relatively large flow of air from the air-bag to reduce the pressure within the air-bag.
