Abstract: Techniques of authenticating a first device of a user to a second device are disclosed. The method enables the second device to perform authentication using a biometric template stored on the first device and a biometric measurement. Homomorphic encryption may be used by the first device to encrypt the biometric template and the second device to determine an encrypted similarity metric between the biometric template and the biometric measurement. The second device can also determine an encrypted code using an authentication function and the encrypted similarity metric. The second device sends the encrypted code and the encrypted similarity metric to be decrypted by the first device. The second device can receive a response from the first device, indicating whether a decrypted similarity metric exceeds a threshold; and whether the decrypted code matches a test code. The second device can then authenticate the user based on the response.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a workflow model are described. In an example, a device presents a window. A selection of an icon presented in the window is received, where the icon corresponds to a node having a node type.

Abstract: A process orchestration and dynamic data acquisition system may allow process flows to be flexible and to customer or product requirements based on rules obtained from a rule management system. The process orchestrator may be driven based on an updatable and dynamic set of business rules to allow for quick changes to the process flow.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed associated with a cloud platform as a service provider. A monitoring agent, associated with a database service instance running on a client database virtual machine, periodically executes a performance throttling detection engine. The performance throttling detection engine gathers database statistics based on metrics and features of the database service using a rule-based approach. When it is determined that a pre-determined condition is met, the system may transmit the gathered database statistics to an external application. For example, the external application might comprise a database tuning service and the pre-determined condition may be associated with a decision that the database service may potentially need to tune knob configuration parameters (associated with memory knobs, background writer knobs, asynchronous knobs, etc.).

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a user vector generator may access information about a user (e.g., a software deployment developer or operator) in a user data store that contains electronic records each associated with different user. Each record may include, for example, a user identifier and user characteristics. Based on the user characteristics, the system may automatically generate a user vector indicating a computing environment skillset level for that user (e.g., beginner, intermediate, or expert). A machine learning privilege assignment platform may receive an indication of the user vector for the user and, based on the user vector and a machine learning algorithm, generate a privilege decision for that user (e.g., when the user attempts to update the system). An indication of the privilege decision may be output, according to some embodiments, to an SMT solver to review the privilege decision before granting the user access to the computing environment.

A dispatcher platform may determine that a first tenant actor is to be created for a first tenant in connection with a workload associated with a plurality of tenant identifiers. The first tenant may be, for example, associated with a first tenant identifier. The dispatch platform may then select a first thread for the first tenant actor from a pool of available threads and spin a first web assembly module such that execution of the first web assembly module is associated with a first web assembly browser sandbox. The dispatcher platform can then securely create the first tenant actor within the first web assembly browser sandbox to execute the workflow for the first tenant identifier. Similarly, a second web assembly browser sandbox may execute a second tenant actor for a second tenant identifier.

Abstract: A trust chain having client system and a remote system in a secure connection, wherein an intermediary system associated with the network flow path serves as a signing entity to establish an end to end transitive trust. The intermediate system is a corroborative entity in the operations technology realm of the client system. The remote system serves as the host for a plurality of services in the information technology realm. A two way handshake during the initial secure exchange protocol between a local client application and a remote service is extended to a three way handshake that includes a nonce issued by the remote service on the remote system and a digital signature for the nonce issued by a signature service on an associated intermediate system. The nonce signature is verified authoritatively at the remote system based on the signing certificate of the intermediate system for explicit proof of association.
