Abstract: An effective strategy provides an intuitive starting point for an enterprise network agent to resolve issues before the issues increase the probability of an outage. Being able to predict whether and when a current anomalous state will transform into an outage is valuable to an enterprise network agent tasked with network administration, including monitoring the network; configuring the network; recommending software or hardware licenses, updates, or additions; obtaining software or hardware licenses or devices; generating reports and alerts; and launching countermeasures in association with the enterprise network.

Abstract: Encrypted poll responses from a group of users are validated homomorphically in an online polling system. Mathematical operations are performed on encrypted poll responses to produce validated encrypted results. The operations, when applied to plaintext of the encrypted poll response, normalize the plaintext when the poll response is valid, and nullify the plaintext when the poll response is invalid. The validated encrypted poll responses can be analyzed, without decryption, to provide a variety of results in encrypted format. The analysis may include summing the validated poll responses to produce a tally and may also be analyzed in accordance with associated cleartext metadata. Multiple sets of encrypted poll responses to multiple poll queries can be analyzed to determine relationships with respect to each other, in encrypted form, as well as in conjunction with cleartext parameters.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems that watermark text files in document or image formats using efficient encoding schemes. A unique identifier is encoded into a document by perturbing typographical properties of document elements, such as the lengths and widths of words, lines, or spaces, to encode multiple bits per element. Perturbations to the rendered dimensions of elements create patterns, digital watermarks, that can be decoded to recover the unique identifier, which can in turn be used to identify a user who disclosed or was otherwise responsible for a leaked document.

Abstract: A method and system for time series forecasting are described. Forecasting a time series, though uncertain, has a potential to improve decision-making. It gives a picture of what can probably be expected. A live time series typically has trend and seasonality as its innate characteristic features, randomness being obvious in real-time. Described embodiments address complexity in configuring zero-configuration workflow forecasting methods at production scale. Described embodiments address complexity in configurating domain independent forecasting methods at production scale.

Abstract: Obtaining one or more metrics associated with a network location. Determining, based on the one or more metrics and one or more prefatory check conditions, a prefatory status of the network location, the prefatory status indicating a benign status, malicious status, or a suspicious status. If the prefatory status of the network location indicates the benign status or the malicious status, providing a notification of the prefatory status in response to the prefatory status being determined. If the prefatory status of the network location indicates a suspicious status, obtaining a document object model of the network location. Obtaining a screenshot of an entire page of content at the network location. Generating a null hypothesis based on the document object model, the null hypothesis including a potential brand list, the potential brand list including one or more potential brands. Obtaining a set of reference images for each of the one or more potential brands of the potential brand list.

Abstract: Described are methods and system that digitally watermark documents using an encoding scheme that embeds unique identifiers into the files by perturbing the relative heights of words to create patterns that are imperceptible to the human eye but decodable to recover the identifiers. The unique identifiers can be precoded before they are embedded in the documents.

Abstract: A system and method for masking personally identifiable information (PII) using neural style transfer is disclosed. The present disclosure helps tackle the problem of PII being harvested from documents for illegitimate purposes. The present disclosure also curtails unscrupulous means of employing an optical character recognition (OCR) engine in exploiting or harvesting PII from digitized documents. Techniques described in this paper include customized PII masking.

Abstract: The proposed system tracks user and entity behavior under 3 categories—time, count, and pattern. An event is composed of different fields that describe the event. For example, a log on event could have different fields like username, hostname, log on time, log on type, etc. An event is passed through one or more algorithms, depending on what kind of behavioral information needs to be tracked from the event. For example, a user logon event can be processed under the time category to detect whether the user is logging on at an anomalous time. It can also be processed under the pattern category to detect whether the user is logging on a host that does not fit into the user's regular log on pattern. The decision as to which events are to be processed under which category can be configured external to the system using domain knowledge.
