  • Publication number: 20200175546
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes means for extracting characters from first cookies stored in a first memory space, the first cookies collected from client devices via network communications, and means for storing in a second memory space, a pattern of characters in association with a first demographic to indicate that the pattern of characters and the first demographic are both representative of a same first unique audience member, the storing being in response to determining that at least two of the first cookies (1) include the pattern of characters, and (2) correspond to the first demographic.

  • Publication number: 20200104531
    Abstract: A container corresponding to executable code may be received. The container may be executed in a secure computation environment by performing one or more operations specified by the executable code of the container. An instruction to terminate the executing of the container may be received from a high level operating system (HLOS) that is external to the secure computation environment. A determination may be made as to whether the container is associated with a preemption privilege and the executing of the container may be terminated after receiving the instruction from the HLOS based on the determination of whether the container is associated with the preemption privilege.

  • Publication number: 20200057664
    Abstract: A host Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) operates “blindly,” without the host VMM having the ability to access data within a guest virtual machine (VM) or the ability to access directly control structures that control execution flow of the guest VM. Guest VMs execute within a protected region of memory (called a key domain) that even the host VMM cannot access. Virtualization data structures that pertain to the execution state (e.g., a Virtual Machine Control Structure (VMCS)) and memory mappings (e.g., Extended Page Tables (EPTs)) of the guest VM are also located in the protected memory region and are also encrypted with the key domain key. The host VMM and other guest VMs, which do not possess the key domain key for other key domains, cannot directly modify these control structures nor access the protected memory region. The host VMM, however, using VMPageIn and VMPageOut instructions, can build virtual machines in key domains and page VM pages in and out of key domains.

  • Patent number: 10552864
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes means for identifying a pattern in first cookies received via the Internet and stored in a storage device, the first cookies corresponding to devices accessing media via the Internet, means for determining an error between a first demographic estimate based on a potential pattern in the first cookies and a second demographic estimate based on user identifiers corresponding to the devices and received via the Internet, the means for determining the error to determine the potential pattern to be the pattern when the error is less than a threshold, means for accessing impression information received from a database proprietor via the Internet, the impression information including second cookies, and means for identifying a subset of the second cookies that are associated with a same person based on the pattern, the means for identifying the subset to associate impressions corresponding to the identified subset with the same person.

  • Publication number: 20190172077
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes at least one processor and first memory comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to log an impression in second memory at an audience measurement entity based on a communication received from a computing device. The example computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine that a primary user of the computing device is not the user operating the computing device when a first probability score for the primary user does not satisfy a threshold, and in response to determining that the primary user is not the user operating the computing device, identify one of a plurality of secondary users as the user operating the computing device. The example computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to store demographic information of the user operating the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20190147466
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to compensate impression data for misattribution and non-coverage by a database proprietor are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining a count of media impressions occurring on a first type of computing device, a first portion of the media impressions corresponding to persons for whom demographic information is recognizable by a database proprietor and a second portion of the media impressions corresponding to persons for whom demographic information is unavailable to the database proprietor; and determining the demographic information for the second portion of the media impressions based on a first probability that media corresponding to the media impressions is accessed on the first type of computing device and based on a second probability that media is accessed on a second type of device.

  • Patent number: 10242192
    Abstract: A method, system, and program product for remotely attesting to a state of computing system is provided. Specifically, the present invention allows a remote system to establish trust in the properties of the computer system. The properties to be trusted are expanded from the usual system software layers and related configuration files to novel types of data such as static data specific to the computer system, dynamic data determined at system startup, or dynamic data created as the computer system runs applications.

  • Patent number: 10217122
    Abstract: Disclosed example methods include generating electronic mobile measurement data based on network communications received from client devices, the network communications corresponding to media accessed at the client devices, selecting attributes associated with the electronic mobile measurement data to include in a model, generating the model based on the attributes and a first portion of the electronic mobile measurement data, determining a percentage of a second portion of the electronic mobile measurement data that the model correctly associates with corresponding users of the client devices, and in response to the percentage satisfying a threshold, identifying a user operating a client device as at least one of a primary user or one of a plurality of secondary users based on the model, and associating demographic information of the identified user with the electronic mobile measurement data to reduce a misattribution error.

  • Publication number: 20180248688
    Abstract: A secret key value that is inaccessible to software is scrambled according to registers consisting of one-time programmable (OTP) bits. A first OTP register is used to change the scrambling of the secret key value whenever a lifecycle event occurs. A second OTP register is used to undo the change in the scrambling of the secret key. A third OTP register is used to affect a permanent change to the scrambling of the secret key. The scrambled values of the secret key (whether changed or unchanged) are used as seeds to produce keys for cryptographic operations by a device.

  • Patent number: 9953330
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generating electronic mobile measurement census data are disclosed. Example disclosed methods involve, when a panelist associated with a client device is determined to be an audience member of the media on the client device, associating demographic information of the panelist with a logged impression associated with the media. The disclosed methods also include when the panelist associated with the client device is determined not to be the audience member of the media at the client device, determining probability scores for respective household members residing in a household with the panelist, the probability scores indicative of probabilities that corresponding ones of the household members are the audience member of the media at the client device, and associating demographic information of one of the household members that has a highest probability score with the logged impression associated with the media.
