Described herein are a secure system for sharing private data and related systems and methods for incentivizing and validating private data sharing. In some embodiments, private data providers may register to selectively share private data under controlled sharing conditions. The private data may be cryptographically secured using encryption information corresponding to one or more secure execution environments. To demonstrate to the private data providers that the secure execution environment is secure and trustworthy, attestations demonstrating the security of the secure execution environment may be stored in a distributed ledger (e.g., a public blockchain). Private data users that want access to shared private data may publish applications for operating on the private data to a secure execution environment and publish, in a distributed ledger, an indication that the application is available to receive private data. The distributed ledger may also store sharing conditions under which the private data will be shared.

A data aggregation and process automation (DAPA) system is disclosed. The DAPA system includes an authentication module, a monitoring module, an intelligent automation module, and a transformation module. The authentication module is configured to initiate authenticated communication with a plurality of servers, and includes an authentication storage having a plurality of authentication credentials and routing information. The monitoring module is configured to monitor a first server for a first change event and monitor a second server for a second change event. The first change event results in the receipt of a first data object and the second change event results in the receipt of a second data object. The intelligent automation module is configured to identify the second server, request a service, and submit an update data object to the first server. The transformation module is configured to transform data objects from one format into another.

The present invention provides systems and methods for supporting encrypted communications with a medical device, such as an implantable device, through a relay device to a remote server, and may employ cloud computing technologies. An implantable medical device is generally constrained to employ a low power transceiver, which supports short distance digital communications. A relay device, such as a smartphone or WiFi access point, acts as a conduit for the communications to the internet or other network, which need not be private or secure. The medical device supports encrypted secure communications, such as a virtual private network technology. The medical device negotiates a secure channel through a smartphone or router, for example, which provides application support for the communication, but may be isolated from the content.

The present disclosure provides a data processing method, a data processing device, and a computer readable storage medium. The data processing method includes: determining an encryption key according to first data; encrypting second data with the encryption key; and storing the first data in association with the encrypted second data.

Systems and methods are described for automatically evaluating a claim submitted to an insurance carrier. Claim information and at least one image associated with the claim may be received, where the image has been submitted to a carrier as supporting evidence of a service performed by a submitter of the claim. The system may provide image data and other claim information from the submitted claim as input to machine learning models configured to identify whether the image data, such as a radiograph, supports the other data in the claim submission, such as a treatment code.

Techniques and apparatus for ion source devices with minimized post-column volumes are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, and logic coupled to the at least one memory. The logic may be configured to receive analytical information from at least one analytical instrument, and generate at least one record in a distributed ledger having a transaction associated with at least a portion of the analytical information. Other embodiments are described.

An apparatus includes a housing configured to be implanted in or on a recipient. The apparatus further includes circuitry within the housing, the circuitry including at least one storage device configured to store at least one secret. The circuitry is configured to generate, using the at least one secret, at least one code corresponding to the at least one secret and to transmit at least one stimulation signal to the recipient, the at least one stimulation signal indicative of the at least one code.

A method of cryptographically secured decentralized testing includes receiving, by a computing device and from a secure test apparatus, an output of a cryptographic function of a secret test result identifier, authenticating the output, and recording, in a data repository, an indication of a test result as a function of the output.

A robot-connected IoT-based sleep-caring system includes a sleep-caring robot and an IoT system. The sleep-caring robot includes environment monitoring, physiology monitoring, sleep monitoring, sound, lighting and electricity control, a smart storage compartment, central data processing, and machine arms. The IoT system senses and executes instructions from the sleep-caring robot, thereby catering to bedroom activities of the user.

Examples are described for dynamically encrypting and/or decrypting a file formed of multiple blocks of ordered data. In one example, a method of dynamically encrypting a file to enable partial decryption of the file includes generating, using a secret key and one or more initialization vectors, a keystream for the multiple blocks of ordered data, encrypting the multiple blocks of ordered data of the file by performing a logical operation of the keystream with the multiple blocks of ordered data in a one-to-one correspondence, and building a file index of the file to identify location information of the multiple blocks of ordered data. The method may further include dynamically decrypting at least a portion of the file by decrypting at least one selected block of encrypted data of the file using a portion of the keystream, the portion of the keystream corresponding to the at least one selected block.
