A method for preventing unauthorized access of privileged operations of a first device. The method provides for one or more processors to detect an initiating action of a privileged operation of a first device. The one or more processors receive a current location of the first device. The one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined location matches the current location of the first device. In response to determining the current location of the first device fails to match the predetermined location, the one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined connection condition exists between the first device and an authorized device, and in response to determining an absence of the pre-determined connection condition between the first device and the authorized device, the one or more processors perform a first action disabling the privileged operation of the first device.

Protection of privileged operation access of electronic devices

A method and system for enabling an autonomous vehicle detection process is provided. The method includes detecting a sensor reading, of a sensor integrated with an autonomous vehicle, exceeding a specified threshold value. Additional sensor reading from additional vehicles located within a specified distance of the autonomous vehicle are received and compared to the original sensor reading. In response, a fault condition associated with the sensor is determined and an associated notification is presented to an occupant of the autonomous vehicle.

Autonomous vehicle detection

Taking security actions based on monitored computer and user physical activities includes using sensors of a computer system to identify physical activity being performed by a user of the computer system, monitoring computer system activity being performed by the computer system as the user performs the identified physical activity, determining whether the identified physical activity being performed by the user is associated with input to the computer system to cause the computer system activity being performed by the computer system, and performing processing based on determining that the identified physical activity is not associated with input to cause the computer system activity, the processing including automatically performing security measure(s) on the computer system.

Security actions based on monitored computer and user physical activities

Securing an autonomous vehicle against remote interference. Electronic communications are classified and rated according to communication port and package content. Communication ratings are processed to assess risk of remote interference. At-risk communications trigger interference response actions according to pre-defined ratings thresholds.

Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for analyzing technical documents against known art. One or more machine learning classifiers are trained by a training set. References are ingested and assembled into a corpus. An input query is processed by natural language processing, and the classifiers are used to retrieve relevant documents and references, providing solutions to the input query. Anti-patterns are identified and provided to a user in the form of a report to alert the user to potential problems with the input query.

Analyzing technical documents against known art

A method of verifying a user identity using a Web-based multimodal interface can include sending, to a remote computing device, a multimodal markup language document that, when rendered by the remote computing device, queries a user for a user identifier and causes audio of the user's voice to be sent to a multimodal, Web-based application. The user identifier and the audio can be received at about a same time from the client device. The audio can be compared with a voice print associated with the user identifier. The user at the remote computing device can be selectively granted access to the system according to a result obtained from the comparing step.
