  • Publication number: 20250139256
    Abstract: An instruction to disable a first cryptographic key of a computing device is received by a processor of the device. The first cryptographic key is embedded in the device during manufacturing to facilitate a boot sequence of the device. The instruction is signed using a cryptographic signature. The first cryptographic key is associated with a first priority indicator. The cryptographic signature is verified using a second cryptographic key embedded in the device during manufacturing. The second cryptographic key is associated with a second priority indicator. The first priority indicator is compared with the second priority indicator. Responsive to determining that the second priority indicator supersedes the first priority indicator, the first cryptographic key is disabled.

  • Publication number: 20240336978
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the reliable molecular monitoring of NPM1 mutations are disclosed. The methods enable pre-emptive therapy essential for understanding AML disease status, informing therapeutic options, monitoring therapeutic efficacy, and improving patient outcome. The methods simultaneously screen and quantify samples having the major NPM1 mutant subtypes. In some forms, methods for detecting and measuring a presence, absence, and/or level of mutation of the NPM1 gene in a sample include hybridizing labelled sequence probes to the NPM1 gene in a sample to form labelled probe-nucleic acid conjugates, amplifying the probe-nucleic acid conjugates, and detecting the labelled probe-nucleic acid conjugates by measuring the level of one or more labels attached to the probes. The methods optionally record the presence, absence and/or level of NPM1 mutations in the sample.
