Publication number: 20240073036Abstract: Techniques are described for embedded device based fingerprint signing and public ledger registering management. A digital fingerprint associated with media content can be identified. An embedded integrated circuit (IC) of the computing device can be utilized to store security data associated with the media content. The security data can include at least one digital certificate. The at least one digital certificate can include a device certificate utilized to generate a cryptographic signature associated with the metadata and the digital fingerprint. A file can be generated and registered with a public ledger. The file can include the digital fingerprint, the metadata, the at least one certificate, and the cryptographic signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: John Herman Hess III, Nikhil Sainath Kale, Foster Glenn Lipkey, John Joseph Groetzinger

Publication number: 20230292012Abstract: With the assistance of a cloud server, a user device is operative to adjust and optimize lighting of a video of a participant in a virtual meeting with use of a selected display configuration. The selected display configuration may be a selected from one of a plurality of display configurations (e.g., a user display, a plurality of displays connected at the user device, the user display and an alternate display of a laptop or a tablet, etc.). The user device may receive, from the cloud server, baseline lighting setting parameters associated with the selected display configuration. The user device may apply the baseline lighting setting parameters to one or more displays of the selected display configuration. Using the baseline lighting setting parameters as a baseline, the user device may automatically adjust a brightness and/or color pixels of the one or more displays of the selected display configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Ritu Kirit Ved, Nikhil Sainath Kale, John Herman Hess, III

Patent number: 10771436Abstract: In one example embodiment, a proxy for a network obtains a traffic flow. The proxy determines whether a security policy in a whitelist for the traffic flow is active. If it is determined that the security policy for the traffic flow is active, the proxy selectively decrypts the traffic flow to produce one or more traffic flow attributes and, based on the one or more traffic flow attributes, determines whether the traffic flow is potentially malicious.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Robert Thomas Taylor, M.
