Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for improvements in cloud services by sharing estimated and actual usage data of cloud services recipients with the cloud services provider. The sharing of this data allows the cloud services provider to better apportion cloud resources between multiple cloud services recipients. By analyzing information included in the shared data (e.g., information about one or more applications that use the cloud resources), the cloud services provider may categorize the applications and/or the functions of those applications into authorized and unauthorized uses, the determination of which, is used to further efficiently apportion the cloud services resources.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system that utilizes regular expression (regex) to recognize at least portions of characters, words, text, numbers, etc. in a structured or unstructured dataset, any patterns associated therewith, and/or similarities between the determined patterns. In examples, a regex-based pattern recognition platform may receive a dataset and determine whether at least a first regex pattern and a second regex pattern can be identified. The occurrences of the first and second regex patterns and the frequency of those occurrences may reveal something about the dataset itself or any patterns contained therein.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distorting CAPTCHA images with generative adversarial networks include an image distortion interface that can select an image record from a database, determine the size of the selected image, and apply an adversarial attack algorithm to create an array of pixels that is the same size as the selected image so that the majority of the pixels in the array are zero values and the remaining pixels in the array are in the red-green-blue value range. The image distortion interface can merge the array of pixels with the selected image to form a distorted image. A server can include a CAPTCHA test interface that can select a set of images having the same label, retrieve corresponding distorted images, and provide a CAPTCHA test using the distorted images. The CAPTCHA test can use distorted images with different applied adversarial attack algorithms.

If a screen brightness adjustment is appropriate, a degree of the screen brightness adjustment may be determined.

Abstract: Various embodiments for a system to utilize user's location pattern as an authentication parameter are disclosed. An embodiment operates by retrieving a location history of a user based on past locations of a user equipment (UE) device at various times and traffic data associated with the location history. A request to access a protected application is received and a present location of the UE device at a time associated with the request is determined. A locational pattern is generated based on both the location history of the user and the traffic data. The present location of the UE device is compared with the locational pattern, and it is determined that a level of authentication necessary to grant access to the protected application is satisfied based on both the comparing and a determination that the present location falls within the locational range generated based on the traffic data.
