  • Patent number: 11146593
    Abstract: An application-centric authorization model utilizes locally-evaluated rules derived from non-local policies and provided to the application via an authorization object, preferably in the subject's session context. Preferably, the approach does not involve a runtime determination regarding the policy or policies; rather, one or more existing policies are merely used to derive authorization rules associated with a subject, and which are then evaluated and enforced at runtime in a computationally-efficient manner within the local runtime context of the application or service.

  • Patent number: 11122086
    Abstract: A cookie compliance management system enables automated evaluation of cookie compliance within an enterprise. The system determines whether a cookie set by an application in the environment is compliant with a policy. It comprises a workflow engine, a cookie discovery engine (CDE), a cookie characterization engine (CCE), a cookie policy engine (PE), and a cookie registry. The workflow engine receives a request to initiate an evaluation of an application for cookie compliance. The CDE is invoked and returns cookies that are set by the application. The CCE receives a set of base attributes associated with a cookie discovered by the CDE, and computes a set of descriptive attributes determined to be required to enable evaluation of the cookie according to a policy. The policy engine receives policy rules and the set of descriptive attributes and, in response, determines whether the cookie is compliant with the policy. The cookie registry stores cookie data.

  • Publication number: 20210281787
    Abstract: An image sensor may include a pixel array coupled to column readout circuitry. The pixel array may be split into multiple sub-arrays. Readout circuitry may be shared between multiple columns in each sub-array or in the pixel array. The readout circuitry may be coupled to at least first and second pixels in first and second different columns. The readout circuitry may include amplifier circuitry that receives signals from both the first and second pixels. Two input capacitors for the amplifier circuitry may form two corresponding memory circuits, for the first and second columns, respectively. Two feedback capacitors for the amplifier circuitry may form two corresponding memory circuits, for the first and second columns, respectively. The readout circuitry may be configured to perform a shared reset level readout operation for the first and second pixels and to perform separate correlated double sampling readout operations for the first and second pixels.
