  • Patent number: 11983271
    Abstract: A processor may generate an enforcement point. The enforcement point may include one or more adversarial detection models. The processor may receive user input data. The processor may analyze, at the enforcement point, the user input data. The processor may determine, from the analyzing, whether there is an adversarial attack in the user input data. The processor may generate an alert based on the determining.

  • Patent number: 11695758
    Abstract: A method for a multi-factor authentication, the method receives results of an initial authentication of a user. Responsive to confirming the initial authentication, an image of a secondary set of authentication options is presented. An option selection is received from the user, wherein the selection is determined by tracking eye movement of the user over the image that includes the set of second factor authentication options. User facial activity is tracked corresponding to the selection made from the secondary set of authentication options. The monitored facial activity is compared to a pre-established authentication condition to determine whether a match exists with the selected secondary set of authentication options, and responsive to facial activity monitored matching the authentication condition pre-established by the user and corresponding to the selection made from the secondary set of authentication options, authentication of the user is confirmed.

  • Patent number: 11297090
    Abstract: A security incident is detected at a first location; a risk of the security incident is evaluated. A first security scores is generated for the first location. A set of security scores are generated for a set of alternative locations; the set of security scores excludes the first security score. A second security score within the set of security scores is determined to be the best security score among a plurality of security scores; the plurality of security scores comprises the set of security scores and the first security score. A workload associated with the first location is migrated to a second location, where the second location is associated with the second security score.

  • Patent number: 10654566
    Abstract: A main rotor system for a rotary wing aircraft is provided including a lower rotor hub to which lower rotor blades are attachable. The lower rotor hub rotates about an axis in a first direction. A hollow rotor shaft extends through the lower rotor hub. The first end of the rotor shaft couples to a component of the rotary wing aircraft for rotation about an axis. An upper rotor hub arranged at the second end of the rotor shaft includes a plurality of similar upper rotor members equidistantly spaced about a circumference of the rotor shaft to form an open center aligned with a hollow interior of the rotor shaft. An opening configured to receive an upper rotor blade is formed between adjacent upper rotor members and the upper rotor hub is configured to rotate in a second direction, opposite the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10025957
    Abstract: A secure provisioning manifest used to authenticate and securely communicate with peripherals attached to a computer is provided with techniques to learn about a new peripheral not authorized to be attached to the computer and possibly gain authorization for the peripheral. A secure I/O module, that is separate from an operating system and transaction software executed by a processor of the computer, uses the secure provisioning manifest to authenticate and establish a secure encrypted session for communicating with each peripheral authorized to be attached to the computer. When an unauthorized peripheral is found, identifying information for the peripheral is transmitted to an enterprise provisioning server with a request to authorize the peripheral.
