The technology described herein obfuscates image content using a local neural network and a remote neural network. The local network runs on a local computer system and a remote classifier runs in a remote computing system. Together, the local network and the remote classifier are able to classify images, while the image never leaves the local computer system. In aspects of the technology, the local network receives a local image and creates a transformed object. The transformed object may be generated by processing the image with a local neural network to generate a multidimensional array and then randomly shuffling data locations within a multidimensional array. The transformed object is communicated to the remote classifier in the remote computing system for classification. The remote classifier may not have the seed used to deterministically scramble the spatial arrangement of data within the multidimensional array.

A computer system is coupled to one or more servers which run one or more applications. The computer system comprises: a memory storing key data, value data associated with each of the key data, and application mask data, the application mask data indicating, for each of the value data, which application is allowed to access said each value data based on the key data associated with the value data; and a processor configured to: receive a get operation which includes a first key data and a first application identifier, the first application identifier identifying a first application which issues the get operation; determine whether the first application is allowed to access a first value data associated with the first key data based on the application mask data; and return the first value data if the application mask data indicates the first application is allowed to access the first value data.

Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification that a person is at a particular location. For example, a resident device may receive from a user device an image that shows a face of a first person, the image being captured by a first camera of the user device. The resident device may also receive, from another device having a second camera, a second image showing a portion of a face of a second person, the second camera having a viewable area showing a particular location. The resident device may determine a score indicating a level of similarity between a first set of characteristics associated with the face of the first person and a second set of characteristics associated with the face of a second person. The resident device may then provide to the user device a notification based on determining the score.

Provided is a consumable chip and a communication method thereof. The method is adopted for a consumable chip including a first consumable MCU unit, a verification cryptographic operation unit and a second consumable MCU unit; the method includes: when the first consumable MCU unit is incompatible with the printer, the first consumable MCU unit activating the second consumable MCU unit to execute a second consumable chip core processing flow, and calling the verification cryptographic algorithm function program of the verification cryptographic operation unit to calculate a new verification password; after the first consumable MCU unit inquires that the second consumable MCU unit has completed the second consumable chip core processing flow, the first consumable MCU unit reading the new verification password and sending to the printer, the new verification password is received by the printer to achieve compatibility between the first consumable MCU unit and the printer.

Systems and methods for controlling access to data in applications using client-side encryption. In that regard, in some examples, a first application (e.g., an email application, calendar application, messaging application, word processing application, file storage application, etc.) hosted from a particular web domain may be configured to invoke a second application hosted from a different origin (e.g., a different web domain or subdomain) to handle receiving and encrypting any sensitive information from a client entered through a client application (e.g., a web browser), and to handle decrypting information to be provided to the client through the client application. This second application may be loaded in an inline frame or similar subwindow or subroutine configured to prevent or limit the first application from having access to sensitive information in the second application.

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein involve combining images to generate a wide view image of a surrounding environment. Images can be recorded using an stand-alone imaging device having wide angle lenses and/or normal lenses. Images from the imaging device can be combined using methods described herein. In an embodiment, a pixel correspondence between a first image and a second image can be determined, based on a corresponding overlap area associated with the first image and the second image. Corresponding pixels in the corresponding overlap area associated with the first image and the second image can be merged based on a weight assigned to each of the corresponding pixels.

As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, and apparatus and/or method may involve a first circuit that initiates secure operations by interfacing with a user and providing operation trigger data that is signed cryptographically and secured from alteration, based on the interfacing. A second circuit, including a secure element, stores data secured from access by the first circuit, and executes secure operations separately from operations executed by the first circuit based on one or more commands provided by the first circuit. Validation circuitry validates and controls accesses to the second circuit by verifying a characteristic of the operation trigger data by executing stored validation instructions with the operation trigger data, and communicating information to the second circuit based on the verifying. The second circuit is responsive to the communicated information by initiating execution of the secure operations.

Example implementations include a system of secure decryption by virtualization and translation of physical encryption keys, the system having a key translation memory operable to store at least one physical mapping address corresponding to at least one virtual key address, a physical key memory operable to store at least one physical encryption key at a physical memory address thereof; and a key security engine operable generate at least one key address translation index, obtain, from the key translation memory, the physical mapping address based on the key address translation index and the virtual key address, and retrieve, from the physical key memory, the physical encryption key stored at the physical memory address.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system can include a controller and a fleet of machines, each having at least one of a compute task requirement, a networking task requirement, and an energy consumption task requirement. The controller may include a resource requirement circuit to determine an amount of a resource for each of the machines to service the task requirement for each machine, a forward resource market circuit to access a forward resource market, and a resource distribution circuit to execute an aggregated transaction of the resource on the forward resource market.

The information processing apparatus stores a cryptographic module and a key that the cryptographic module generated. The information processing apparatus determines whether or not the stored key is a key that a cryptographic module for which integrity is not verified generated. If so, the information processing apparatus updates the key determined to be the key that the cryptographic module for which integrity is not verified generated.
