  • Patent number: 11630903
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system is provided in which the private key is managed in hardware and is not visible to software. The system may provide hardware support for public key generation, digital signature generation, encryption/decryption, and large random prime number generation without revealing the private key to software. The private key may thus be more secure than software-based versions. In an embodiment, the private key and the hardware that has access to the private key may be integrated onto the same semiconductor substrate as an integrated circuit (e.g. a system on a chip (SOC)). The private key may not be available outside of the integrated circuit, and thus a nefarious third party faces high hurdles in attempting to obtain the private key.

  • Patent number: 11630905
    Abstract: A content management system for collecting files from one or more submitters in a collection folder. A collector, who generates the collection folder, can invite one or more submitters to submit one or more files to the collection folder in response to a public file request. The one or more submitters have limited rights to the collection folder. The limited rights can include uploading rights and prohibiting a submitter from viewing files that other submitters associated with the collection folder submitted. Thus, the collection folder is able to store files from the one or more submitters, but prevent them from viewing other's submissions.

  • Patent number: 11630907
    Abstract: The techniques utilize an authentication process to authenticate the user to view protected data and an image monitoring process to monitor the field of view of the image detection component. When a user requests access to the protected data, the authentication process is activated. After a user is authenticated, the data may be displayed and an image monitoring process is activated and may use the image detection component to monitor the field of view to determine whether the user is actively viewing the data or that an additional person is in the field of view. When either event is detected, the protected data is concealed at the display of the user device.

  • Patent number: 11630908
    Abstract: Secure access to data within a communications platform is provided on a need-to-know basis. Inputs provided at the communication platform are intercepted and cognitively analyzed to determine context of the interaction and related data requirements. In response, data access rules are generated and/or retrieved and applied at an access gateway. As data requests as received from the called party from within the communications platform, the data access rules are applied to the request to determine if a match exists and, if so, data access rules-based access is provided to the data. In response to determining the context of the interaction, a context access token is generated and communicated to a virtual database assembler, which assembles a virtual database that only contains data responsive to the context of the interaction.

  • Patent number: 11630910
    Abstract: A block chain defining authority and access to confidential data may not be encrypted, and the access to the block chain can be regulated by the block chain itself and an access control server operating in an enterprise information technology (IT) environment. To incorporate authority defined in multiple sources, such as the block chain and the access control server, a token can be created containing multiple layers of permissions, i.e. constraints, coming from multiple sources. Each additional permission attenuates the authority granted by the token. When a processor controlling the access to the block chain receives the token, the processor can check the validity of the token and the authority granted by the token to determine whether the requester is authorized to access at least a portion of the block chain.

  • Patent number: 11630937
    Abstract: A virtual fabrication environment for semiconductor device structures that includes the use of virtual metrology measurement data to optimize a virtual fabrication sequence is described. Further, calibration of the virtual fabrication environment is performed by comparing virtual metrology measurement data from a virtual fabrication run with a subset of measurements performed in a physical fabrication environment. Additionally, virtual experiments conducted in the virtual fabrication environment of the present invention generate multiple device structure models using ranges of process and design parameter variations for an integrated process flow and design space of interest.

  • Patent number: 11630945
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving understanding of comments on collections of data. A social media stream is monitored for comments to a container (e.g., photo album) and elements within the container (e.g., photographs). These comments are stored in a data structure along with an identification of the container or element of the container upon which the comments are directed. In response to a user selecting to view comments to an element within the container or the container itself, the data structure is searched for the comments to the selected element or container. Images of the container are then displayed in a fliptych manner, where the selected element or container is displayed in the center section of the fliptych. A list of comments is displayed in a comments section below the fliptych, where the list of comments includes highlighted comments directed to the selected element or container.

  • Patent number: 11630951
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for determining a language of a text string are presented. A language detection model may be maintained. The language detection model may comprise identities and weights for initial and final consonants, identities and weights for prefixes and suffixes, and identities and weights for vowel sequences, where each identity is derived from a training corpus. The weights may correspond to a frequency of a text unit in the corpus. A text string may be received and a match score between the text string and the language of the language detection model may be determined. The match score may be based on initial and final consonant scores, prefix and suffix scores, and/or vowel sequence scores for each word in the text string. If the match score meets a threshold value a follow-up action associated with the language may be performed.
