Abstract: Techniques for security vulnerability assessment of security-sensitive circuit designs are described. A placement of security-sensitive components of a design may be based on constraints related to how far apart a relevant set of security-sensitive components are allowed without consuming too much power and how to optimize the placement to minimize electromagnetic side-channel leakage or other security vulnerabilities. In one embodiment, a method may receive data that includes a representation of a design of an IC and may identify security-sensitive components of the design from the data. The method may determine a placement for the design based on constraints on a level of security vulnerabilities of the security-sensitive components and may perform a power simulation for the design based on the placement. The method may generate an assessment of the level of security vulnerabilities of the security-sensitive components based on the power simulation to adjust the placement for the design.

Abstract: A system and a method for automatically testing software builds. The system includes testing a first software build using a test package. The test package includes at least a test strategy, a test case, a test model, an automation test script, a crowdsource script, and a manual test script. Further, baseline data is generated based upon a successful execution of the test package on the first software build. Further, a second software build is tested using the test package. Subsequently, the target data is generated based upon an execution of the test package on the second software build. The system then identifies a change in the second software build by comparing the target data with the baseline data. Further, a modification is recommended to the test package for the second software build using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Abstract: A method for digitizing image-based data includes receiving an image file including one or more target objects, generating an intermediate image by removing noise from the image file using a denoising machine learning model, identifying the one or more target objects included in the intermediate image using an object segmentation machine learning model, discretizing the one or more target objects that were identified using the trained object segmentation machine learning model, and storing the one or more target objects that were discretized in a data file, visualizing the one or more target objects, or both.

Abstract: A system and method for real-life interactive experience between virtual participants in a gathering of up to thousands of people attending a streamed event, using their computers and mobile devices. The virtual participants sit at boxes and tables at the event and see video and hear audio of other participants sitting at the same table and box. The participants interact with other participants of their choosing without disturbing the rest of the participants. They can use local chat boxes and global chat boxes to chat with the participants of the event. The participants may virtually move from one area to another area of the event using the event layout and sit in a new area of their choosing as they would at an in-person event while watching the streaming of the event thus providing a close to real-life experience of interacting with the event participants.

Abstract: Methods, machine readable media and systems for performing side channel analysis are described. In one embodiment, a method, performed on a data processing system, can receive input data that contains an RTL representation of a design of a circuit and then determine, from the input data, a set of registers that store security related data during operation of the circuit, wherein the set of registers are a subset of all of the registers in the design. The method then determines, in a simulation of power consumption of the set of registers in the RTL representation, security metrics that indicate a level of potential leakage of security related data such as secret or private cryptographic keys.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for live migration for highly available data stores are disclosed. Migration of a data set from a first data store to a second data store is initiated and comprises a backfill of records to the second data store. During a window of time before the migration is complete, a read request for a first record is received. A response representing an authoritative version of the first record is generated using a copy of the first record in the first data store and a copy of the first record in the second data store. A write request for a second record is received during the window of time. A lock is acquired for the second record, and the write request is performed using a copy of the second record in the first data store and a copy of the second record in the second data store.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are method, system and computer-readable storage media for gift card e-banking. This is a unique platform, where people can deposit and withdraw gift cards of any store, of any denomination, at any time and at any place from the bank. Gift cards are converted into virtual money not affiliated with any store. Unlike traditional banking system majority of transactions are in the form of gift cards. Customers have two types of accounts, gift card money account and fixed account. The gift cards deposited in the bank account are available to all the customers. Cards deposited in the fixed account are only available to the customer who owns that account. Customer may transfer gift card/virtual money from one account to another account. Gift card e-bank also issues its own gift card known as “one gift card”, which facilitates customers to use any gift card at any store.
