  • Patent number: 11895071
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to filtering application notifications from one or more applications on an electronic device. A request can be received from an application installed on the electronic device to present a notification. In response, a machine learning model is invoked that is trained to generate a relevancy score for a notification based on historical behavior of the user with respect to previous notifications from the application as well as the active context of the user. The relevancy score can be compared with a threshold to determine whether the threshold is satisfied. Notification filtering can be performed based on whether or not the threshold is satisfied. The method can filter out the notification from presentation if the threshold is satisfied and present the notification if the threshold is unsatisfied, or vice versa.

    Abstract: A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices begins by encoding data using a dispersed storage error encoding function to produce a plurality of sets of encoded data slices arranged into a plurality of chunksets of encoded data slices. The method continues by selecting a set of storage units for storing the plurality of chunksets and assigning a distributed computing task to each storage unit of the set of storage units. The method then continues by generating a unique key set for each storage unit of the storage units, encrypting each chunkset of encoded data slices with a corresponding one of the unique key sets to produce a plurality of encrypted chunksets and sending an encrypted chunkset of the plurality of encrypted chunksets and an indication of a corresponding distributed computing task to each storage unit of the set of storage units for storage of the encrypted chunksets and execution of the distributed computing task.

  • Patent number: 11895099
    Abstract: The techniques herein are directed generally to a “zero-knowledge” data management network. Users are able to share verifiable proof of data and/or identity information, and businesses are able to request, consume, and act on the data—all without a data storage server or those businesses ever seeing or having access to the raw sensitive information (where server-stored data is viewable only by the intended recipients, which may even be selected after storage). In one embodiment, source data is encrypted with a source encryption key (e.g., source public key), with a rekeying key being an encrypting combination of a source decryption key (e.g., source private key) and a recipient's public key. Without being able to decrypt the data, the storage server can use the rekeying key to re-encrypt the source data with the recipient's public key, to then be decrypted only by the corresponding recipient using its private key, accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11895100
    Abstract: A Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based “upstream” approach is a controller-based solution that provides secure key distribution and management for multi-site data centers. The approach uses an SDN Multi-Site Controller (MSC) that acts as an intermediary between SDN controllers at sites in a multi-site data center and manages the distribution of keys to sites. The approach is not dependent upon any particular routing protocol, such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and is well suited for multicast stream encryption by allowing the same key to be used for all replicated packets sent to downstream sites from an upstream source site. The approach distributes keys in a secure manner, ensures that data transferred between sites is done in a secure manner, and supports re-keying with error handling.

  • Patent number: 11895102
    Abstract: An identity authentication management (IAM) service is established as a master over a master identity database of the centralized identity authentication management service. When adding an additional node to the computing infrastructure, a non-master copy of the master identity database is distributed to the additional node. Ongoing coordination between the master identity database and the non-master copy is established so as to synchronize differences between the master identity database and the non-master copy of the identity database. The additional node hosts a fully-functional authentication management service using the non-master copy of the master identity database and is able to respond to READ requests for data by accessing the non-master copy—without interaction with the centralized identity authentication management service.

  • Patent number: 11895106
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatic sign in upon account signup. Particularly, the present embodiments can utilize a federated login approach for automatic sign in upon account signup for a cloud infrastructure. Specifically, the signup and sign in service (also known as SOUP) and an identity provider portal can be configured such that the nodes are aware of each other as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) partners. After new account registration, the signup service can redirect the user browser to a cloud infrastructure console to start with a federated login flow, where a sign in service can issue a SAML authentication request, and redirects it to signup service. Responsive to validating the browser using a SAML authentication process, the browser can be automatically signed into the new account and allowed access the account relating to the cloud infrastructure service.
