  • Patent number: 9769192
    Abstract: A system may be broken down into one or more components. Each of the components may be evaluated to ascribe a security score to each of the components. A composite security score may be generated for the system based on the security scores and a rate of decay measure characterizing a probabilistic security degradation of the system. The rate of decay measure may be applied to the composite security score to obtain a current composite security score.

  • Publication number: 20160308889
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may detect hardware modifications. A test loop may terminate at a transmit pin and a receiver pin of a processor footprint pad. A processor may be coupled to the test loop via the transmit pin and the receiver pin. The processor may cause a signal to be transmitted to the test loop from the transmit pin and receive a modified signal from the test loop at the receiver pin. The processor may analyze the modified signal to detect a hardware modification in communication with the test loop based on the modified signal.

  • Publication number: 20150262074
    Abstract: A constraint problem may be represented as a digital circuit comprising at least one gate and at least one constrained input or at least one constrained output, or a combination of at least one constrained input and at least one constrained output. A matrix may be generated for each of the at least one gates. A constraint matrix may be generated for the at least one constrained input, the at least one constrained output, or the combination of at least one constrained input and at least one constrained output. A final matrix comprising a combination of each matrix for each of the at least one gates and the constraint matrix may be generated. The final matrix may be translated into an energy representation useable by a quantum computer. The energy of the energy representation may be minimized to generate a q-bit output, and a result of the constraint problem may be determined based on the q-bit output.

  • Publication number: 20130238564
    Abstract: First and second local file systems remote one from another and having a hierarchical storage structure wherein files are stored within folders within the first local file system. A first file within the first local file system with an embedded link to a second file on the local system is mirrored with a third file within the second local file system. The second file is then mirrored to the second local file system and the third file comprises an embedded link to the mirrored second file on the second file system.

  • Publication number: 20130232121
    Abstract: First and second local file systems remote one from another and having a hierarchical storage structure wherein files are stored within folders within the first local file system and the second local file system. A first file in the first local file system is mirrored to a second file in the second file system. When the first file is modified the second file is updated with the modifications to the first file. When the second file is modified the first file is updated with the modifications to the second file.
