An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface is configured to transmit data to and receive data from a cloud server that provides a cloud service. The processor is configured to receive a token from the cloud server via the communication interface, transmit a request including the token to the cloud server via the communication interface, receive a response including user information from the cloud server via the communication interface, and shift to a login state based on the user information.

Human interaction with a webpage may be determined by processing an event stream generated by the client device during the webpage interaction. A classification server receives the event stream and compares components of the event stream, including components of an event header message, with prerecorded datasets. The datasets include prerecorded event streams having a known interaction type. Training clients may be provided for generating the prerecorded datasets.

Embodiments described include systems and methods for executing in an embedded browser an application script for network applications of different origins. A client application can establish a first session with a first network application of a first entity at a first origin via an embedded browser within the client application and a second session with a second network application of a second entity at a second origin via the embedded browser within the client application. A scripting engine within the client application of a client device of a user at a third origin can identify an application script having instructions to interact with the first network application and the second network application, and can execute the instructions to perform a task across the first network application of the first entity at the first origin and the second network application of the second entity at the second origin.

A first network device for use in a blockchain network is described. The first network device comprises means for, while carrying out a first iteration of a consensus protocol involving a second node device (103), in response to a trigger event (3040), obtaining a time interval function of a time interval start trigger event (3040) and of a time interval end trigger event (3080), each event being linked to a message of the consensus protocol and wherein at least the end trigger event (3080) comprises receiving a message from the second node device; means for transmitting (3083) first data (Delay_102) representative of said time interval to said second node device; means for, during a subsequent iteration of said consensus protocol involving said second node device, receiving a message (3140) from said second node device, said message containing second data (DelayTX_102) representative of said time interval from said second node device; means for authenticating said second node device as a function of said second data. A second network device, methods at the first and second network devices and a computer readable medium with code for carrying out the methods are also described.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating and administering artificial reality collaborative working environments and providing interaction modes for them. An XR work system can provide and control such artificial reality collaborative working environments to enable, for example, A) links between real-world surfaces and XR surfaces; B) links between multiple real-world areas to XR areas with dedicated functionality; C) maintaining access, while inside the artificial reality working environment, to real-world work tools such as the user's computer screen and keyboard; D) various hand and controller modes for different interaction and collaboration modalities; E) use-based, multi-desk collaborative room configurations; and F) context-based auto population of users and content items into the artificial reality working environment.

Extending access to a data model in a data analytics computer data processing system includes loading into a programmatically isolated process address space of a computer, an instance of an extension framework computer program and executing in the framework, computer program logic configured to establish a communicative channel between the isolated process address space and a data analytics computer data processing system executing in a separate process address space. Thereafter, within the framework a directive may be received to access a data model managed in the data analytics computer data processing system. In response, a function may be selected in respect to an API to the data analytics computer data processing system corresponding to the received directive. Finally, the selected API function may be invoked over the communicative channel and a result derived from the data model may be received in the framework from over the communicative channel in response to the selected API function.

Methods and systems for assessing internet exposure of a cloud-based workload are disclosed. A method comprises accessing at least one cloud provider API to determine a plurality of entities capable of routing traffic in a virtual cloud environment associated with a target account containing the workload, querying the at least one cloud provider API to determine at least one networking configuration of the entities, building a graph connecting the plurality of entities based on the networking configuration, accessing a data structure identifying services publicly accessible via the Internet and capable of serving as an internet proxy; integrating the identified services into the graph; traversing the graph to identify at least one source originating via the Internet and reaching the workload, and outputting a risk notification associated with the workload. Systems and computer-readable media implementing the above method are also disclosed.

Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for retrieving authentication credentials and decryption keys to access remotely stored user-generated content. The systems and methods receive a first authentication credential and access a second authentication credential based on receiving the first authentication credential. The system and methods generate an authentication token and an encryption token. Based on the authentication token, the system and methods access a set of encrypted content and an encrypted content key. The systems and methods decrypt the encrypted content key using the encryption token and decrypt the set of encrypted content using the decrypted content key. At least a portion of the content is presented at the user device.

A technique for detecting malware involves loading known malware information, finding a string in the known malware information, saving the string in a first database, identifying a first contiguous string block from the known malware information, assigning a confidence indicator to the first contiguous string block, attempting to find the first contiguous string block in a second database containing one or more contiguous string blocks extracted from known malware, and responsive to a determination the first contiguous string block meets a predetermined threshold of similarity with a second contiguous string block contained in the second database, labelling the first contiguous string block.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining learned associations between authentication credentials and network contextual data, such as may be utilized in a network that supports network roving. A mobile device attempts to rove to a visited network using authentication credentials associated with another network, based at least in part on first contextual information associated with the other network and second contextual information associated with the visited network indicating that the visited network is part of a common association of networks that supports roving internetworking between the networks of the common association.
