Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining synthesized images are disclosed. To obtain synthesized images, an imaging system may obtain areas of interest associated with an image. The areas of interest may be keyed to various processes and/or services. A downstream consumer of the services may retrieve the areas of interest to perform further analysis. In order to more easily interpret the areas of interest, the areas of interest may be displayed to the downstream consumer as part of a synthesized image. The synthesized image may include the areas of interest and a synthesized environment. The synthesized environment may be intended to emulate an environment in which the downstream consumer may expect to find the areas of interest. By doing so, the downstream consumer may be able to understand and contextualize the areas of interest more easily than if viewing the areas of interest alone.

Abstract: Cloud-based 5G security, implemented in a Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) system, includes steps of receiving a request for compute resources from User Equipment (UE); validating a user of the UE for the compute resources; responsive to the user being authorized, creating a connection between the UE and a destination of the compute resources; responsive to the user being unauthorized, rendering the compute resources as hidden from the UE. The steps can include utilizing a cloud-based system for control and signaling the connection.

Abstract: A query processing system is operable to determine a set of query rules that includes a minimum result set size rule. A query is received from a requesting entity. A size of a result set of the query is determined. Compliance data is determined based on determining whether the size of the result set complies with the minimum result set size rule. When the compliance data indicates the size of the result set complies with the minimum result set size rule, a query result for the query is generated based on the result set, and the query result is generated to the requesting entity. When the compliance data indicates the size of the result set does not comply with the minimum result set size rule: transmission of the query result to the requesting entity is foregone.

Abstract: A cloud-based security solution that provides a robust and secure framework for managing and enforcing security policies related to various resources managed in the cloud is disclosed. The cloud-based security solution is implemented by a centralized application programming Interface (API) system and a security zone policy enforcement system in a cloud service provider infrastructure. The centralized API system receives an API request that identifies an operation to be performed on a resource in the CSPI. The system determines, from the API request, compartment information and context information associated with the resource. Responsive to determining the compartment information and the context information associated with the resource, the system determines that the resource resides in a compartment that is associated with a security zone. The system then processes the API request and transmits a result of processing of the API request to a user of the centralized API processing system.

That is, the system may perform privilege checks on the shared users before giving them access to the stored query results but without having to re-run the original query.

Abstract: A method for secure data synchronization and sharing between distinct cloud environments is disclosed. The method involves establishing a trust relationship between a data provider's private cloud deployment and a data consumer's public cloud deployment. Utilizing hardware processors, a cross-region group sharing token is generated and validated to facilitate secure communication and data traffic between the two cloud deployments. Upon validation, a firewall policy that previously restricted data exchange is disabled, allowing for the replication of a target database from the private cloud to a secure share area accessible by the public cloud deployment. The data consumer is then enabled to access and utilize the replicated database within this secure area. The method ensures consistent data management across both deployments by managing the synchronization of the replicated database with the data provider's original database, thereby maintaining data consistency and integrity.

Abstract: In various examples, game session audio data—e.g., representing speech of users participating in the game—may be monitored and/or analyzed to determine whether inappropriate language is being used. Where inappropriate language is identified, the portions of the audio corresponding to the inappropriate language may be edited or modified such that other users do not hear the inappropriate language. As a result, toxic behavior or language within instances of gameplay may be censored—thereby enhancing the user experience and making online gaming environments safer for more vulnerable populations. In some embodiments, the inappropriate language may be reported—e.g., automatically—to the game developer or game application host in order to suspend, ban, or otherwise manage users of the system that have a proclivity for toxic behavior.

Abstract: Example solutions are disclosed for performing a distributed data query for a connected data set, such as a property graph or a relational database, distributed across a plurality of regions (e.g., different geographic regions) under data flow limitations. For a restrictive limitation, a first region stores a data entity that is subject to a data flow limitation, and a second region stores only a reference to the data entity (e.g., a pseudonymous reference). The query is executed in the first region, and at least a partial representation of the state is injected into the query for execution in the second region. The query locates the reference to the data entity in the second region, and the state of the query from the second region is returned. Query results from the plurality of regions are synthesized into a final result. Further solutions address prohibitive limitations when references are not permitted.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a central repository of rights may be implemented, and accessing entities (e.g. clients) and entities for which access is controlled (e.g. files, servers, etc.) may rely on the central repository. The rights may vary on a client-by-client basis. In an embodiment, the rights may be managed as a value that is interpreted by the access-controlled entity. Accordingly, the definition of access rights may vary based on the entity. In an embodiment, visibility to the access rights may be limited. For example, the central repository may provide a handle that is associated with the access rights, but the access rights themselves may not be provided. When an accessing entity attempts to access the access-controlled entity, the handle may be used to identify the access rights. The handle may be presented to the central repository by the access-controlled entity to confirm access rights.

Abstract: A server includes a data cache for storing data objects requested by users logged in under different user roles. Different user roles may have different permissions to access individual fields within a data object. When a cache miss occurs, the cache may begin loading portions of a requested data object from various data sources. Instead of waiting for the entire object to load to change the object state to “valid,” the cache may incrementally update the state through various levels of validity based on the user role of the request. When a portion of the data object used by a low-level user role is received, the object state can be upgraded to be valid for that user role while data for higher-level user roles continues to load. The portion of the data object can then be sent to the low-level user roles without waiting for the rest of the data object to load.
