Abstract: Methods and systems may be associated with a cloud computing environment. A proxy platform data store may contain node data associated with nodes of the cloud computing environment. Each node might, for example, store multi-party computation information. A proxy platform, able to access the proxy platform data store, may detect that a first node needs to access a cloud application secret key and determine, based on information in the proxy platform data store, a set of nodes associated with the secret key that the first node needs to access. The proxy platform may then use a multi-party computation algorithm and information received from the set of nodes to generate the secret key.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically watermarking media content based on transport-stream metadata, to facilitate action by a downstream entity. An intermediary in a media-distribution path could receive a transport stream carrying media content and carrying metadata that is not watermarked in the media content. The intermediary could then obtain from the transport stream the metadata that is not watermarked in the media content and could modify the media content at least by encoding into the media content a watermark that represents the obtained metadata. And the intermediary could then output at least the modified media content for transmission to a downstream entity. The downstream entity could thus obtain from the watermark in the media content the metadata and could use the metadata to facilitate carrying out one or more useful actions.

Abstract: A pair of smart glasses having: a digital camera configured to capture an image of a field of view; and a processing device configured to perform an analysis of the image using an artificial neural network having weight data. The processing device can apply different quantization levels to data from different regions of the image, and apply the different quantization levels to the weight data in weighing on the data from the different regions respectively. For example, weighing image data from a peripheral region of the image with the weight data can be performed with a lower level of accuracy than weighing image data from a center region of the image with the weight data to reduce energy consumption. Based on an output of the artificial neural network responsive to the image, the glasses can present virtual content superimposed on a view of reality seen through the glasses.
