Patent number: 11979411Abstract: A solution is proposed for controlling access to computing resources. A corresponding method comprises receiving and verifying an access request for accessing the computing resources by a secondary computing environment (isolated from the computing resources). A main computing environment (isolated from the secondary computing environment) detects an indication of a positive result of the verification of the access request; in response thereto, the main computing environment verifies an integrity condition of the secondary computing environment and then authorizes the secondary computing environment to access the computing resources accordingly. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a system for implementing the method is proposed.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Roberto Ragusa, Remo Freddi, Chiara Conti, Alessandra Asaro

Patent number: 11949672Abstract: A solution is proposed for performing authentications. A corresponding method comprises storing a verification string corresponding to applying a one-way function iteratively starting from a secret string. An authentication request is received in association with an authentication string (or more) being generated by applying the one-way function iteratively starting from the secret string for a lower number of times. A result of the authentication request is determined by comparing the verification string with a comparison string being generated by applying the one-way function to the authentication string (or a few times iteratively). Corresponding computer programs and a computer program products for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, corresponding systems for implementing the method are proposed.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Roberto Ragusa, Remo Freddi, Chiara Conti, Alessandra Asaro

Publication number: 20240092351Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for brake detection is provided. The present invention may include determining a first geometric ratio associated with a rear portion of a first vehicle, from a first image of the first vehicle. The present invention may also include determining a second geometric ratio associated with the rear portion of the first vehicle, from a second image of the first vehicle. The present invention may further include, in response to determining that the second geometric ratio is less than the first geometric ratio, detecting a braking action of the first vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Roberto Ragusa, Remo Freddi, Chiara Conti, Alessandra Asaro

Publication number: 20230186801Abstract: A device and method for displaying security information to a user is provided. The present invention may include a security device configured to display a security information on a display surface. The security information may include at least one component having two images based on a splitting of its representation that are viewable from corresponding angles of view. The images may be fused into the representation of the at least one component by a visual system of the user looking at them at a reading distance causing the eyes of the user to look at the images from the corresponding angles of view. A corresponding method for displaying security information to a user is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Alessandra Asaro, Chiara Conti, Remo Freddi, Roberto Ragusa

Patent number: 8526028Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for avoiding redundant printing are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An application executing in a data processing system receives a request to print a document. A determination is made whether a valid shared print of the document is available, the valid shared print being a hard-copy of the document that is currently within a validity period and is available for sharing among multiple entities. The shared valid print is requested from a current owner of the shared valid print. If the request is successful, possession of the shared valid print is changed in a prints repository from the current owner to a new owner and a new printing of the document according to the request to print the document is suspended.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Remo Freddi, Antonio Mangiacotti

Patent number: 8264707Abstract: Mechanisms for enforcing reproduction rights for hard copies of physical hard copy articles are provided. The mechanisms electronically scan a surface of the physical hard copy article using a scanning mechanism to generate scanned data. A reproduction control identifier is extracted from the scanned data and output of a copy of the article is controlled based on the reproduction control identifier that was extracted from the scanned data. The physical hard copy article has a plurality of reproduction control identifiers present in multiple locations on the surface of the physical hard copy article such that content of portions of the physical hard copy article provided on the surface cannot be electronically scanned by the scanning mechanism without detecting a reproduction control identifier.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2009Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lorenzo Amorosa, Remo Freddi, Bruno Portaluri
