Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a normalizing flow. The normalizing flow predicts a first density value based on a first input image. The first density value characterizes a likelihood of the first input image to occur. The first density value is predicted based on an intermediate output of a first convolutional layer of the normalizing flow. The intermediate output is determined based on a plurality of weights of the first convolutional layer. The method for training includes: determining a second input image; determining an output, wherein the output is determined by providing the second input image to the normalizing flow and providing an output of the normalizing flow as output; determining a second density value based on the output tensor and on the plurality of weights; determining a natural gradient of the plurality of weights with respect to the second density value; adapting the weights according to the natural gradient.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for secure endpoint authentication credential control are described. An endpoint agent may receive an indication from an operating system of an endpoint device that the operating has received authentication credentials from a user. The endpoint agent may be housed in the endpoint device, and may detect a change between the received set of authentication credentials and a previous version of authentication credentials. Based on this detection, the endpoint agent may transmit the received authentication credentials to a central server. The central server may transmit the authentication credentials to an information technology (IT) resource which requires user authentication prior to granting access to a user.
