  • Publication number: 20200097662
    Abstract: Provided is a process for determining threat scores for container images or distributed applications that consider the results of a multitude of different scanners and other factors such as context information which may include information about a given execution environment for the container image. Scanner results, or scanner properties, are determined for a container image or container images in a multi-container distributed application by various vulnerability scanners. The scanner properties determined by each vulnerability scanner are adjusted responsive to properties of the context and normalized to determine component threat scores for the container image. Then the component threat scores for the container image are combined to generate a combined threat score for the container image within the context of the execution environment.

  • Patent number: 9577864
    Abstract: In a software receiver, a received electromagnetic signal is sampled in “slices”, each having a duration of some multiple of a reference frequency. The samples of each slice are correlated with values in a pair of reference signals, such as sine and cosine, at the reference frequency. This yields a two-tuple for each slice, which two-tuples may be stored. The stored two-tuples can be simply added to arrive at a correlation value of narrower bandwidth than that of any slice taken alone. The stored two-tuples can be taken in sequence, each rotated by some predetermined angle relative to its predecessor in sequence, and the rotated two-tuples summed to arrive at a correlation value with respect to a frequency that is offset from the reference frequency to an extent that relates to the predetermined angle. In this way, the receiver is able to proceed despite the transmitted frequency not being known exactly in advance and does not require prodigious storage or computational resources.
