Abstract: Quantum-based vulnerability and risk identification systems and processes are disclosed that identify vulnerabilities in configuration items (CIs) before changes are deployed. A contrastive learning algorithm compares vectors of CIs to vectors of known vulnerable components and further refines the most relevant features from those filters. Federated Learning enhances model performance, and a quantum optimization system (QOS) optimizes the results generated by the contrastive model as it has an advantage of solving optimization problems formulated with distinct variables. Proactive prediction mechanism is provided through contrastive learning. QOS provides enhanced vulnerability detection system and change management lifecycle. QOS provides deterministic results by finding optimized solutions in high-dimensional solution spaces.

Abstract: A system for implementing secure interaction sessions through dynamic routing paths comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor communicates a traversal key to a communication equipment in response to verifying an authentication token from a communication equipment to implement an interaction session. The traversal key is associated with a routing path that comprises a particular set of entry points for a set of resources. The processor allows the communication equipment to traverse the routing path and generates a traversal path associated with the interaction session. The traversal path identifies the entry points of the set of the resources that are accessed by the communication equipment during the interaction session. The processor generates a second hash value based on a set of ciphers associated with the entry points. The processor completes the interaction session with the communication equipment if the second hash value matches the first hash value.

The memory controller further includes an interconnect coupled to the multiple requestor arbitration modules. The interconnect includes multiple external memory arbitration modules. Each of the requestor arbitration modules applies an arbitration algorithm to arbitrate among the memory requests in the associated set of memory channel queues.

Abstract: Computer-implemented cyber-security, behavior-generated, event-type signed processes and machines provide for authentication and immutable transactions to overcome security risks. Clients submit requests for an immutable transactions and interactions responsive to the request are sent by the server to the client. The server generates behavioral expectations for the interactions, stores them for future comparison purposes, and transmits those to the client. The client executes user events for the interactions. The client behaviorally analyzes the user events and generates behavioral vectors corresponding to the user events. Intermediate client hashes that culminate in a final client hash are generated. User events are sent to the server. The server generates a server hash based on the behavioral expectations and the user events. The server compares the final client hash to the server hash to determine if the transaction is authentic and should be stored as immutable.

Abstract: A simplified IoT network validation process includes improvements to enrollment of IoT devices onto the IoT network and authentication of active IoT devices during IoT network operation. A random cipher text is created upon device enrollment and shared to each device in the network. Additionally, a random peer-to-peer cross reference communication pattern is established among the devices. Using a device pairing sequence an iterated (e.g., chained) hash value is generated and stored at the server. During the device authentication, upon basic authentication of the request, a server shares a random point to the network (e.g., a randomly selected IoT device) to trigger the hash token generation process. The network devices perform hash token iteration as a ring. Each IoT device uses the previous hash when generating the next hash. The final hash is sent to the server for validation and comparison against stored keys.

Abstract: To maintain a healthy and safe battery, the Battery Management System (BMS) require numerous sensors which is a costly process. Immersion cooling applications where the battery stack is cooled with a dielectric coolant fluid has complex flow patterns that are not modeled easily without high fidelity modeling. The present disclosure provides a solution by combining physics-based and data-driven techniques. Initially, a first reduced subspace and a second first reduced subspace are extracted from the high-fidelity or full-order model (FOM) data with the help of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) in offline. Further, the dynamics of the reduced spaces (first reduced subspace and the second reduced subspace) are captured by computing the reduced coefficients. The reduced coefficients are computed by solving the reduced order equations. The reduced model is solved in the same manner as the high-fidelity or FOM model. The reduced-order solution is constructed once the reduced coefficients are obtained.
