A method, computer system, and a computer program product for managing digital assets is provided. The present invention may include receiving, in a second blockchain network, an authentication request to determine an authenticity of a new digital asset. The present invention may include determining, in the second blockchain network, the authenticity of the new digital asset. The present invention may include updating, in the second blockchain network, the authenticity of the new digital asset as authentic in a shared library. The present invention may include generating, in the second blockchain network, an update authenticity transaction, wherein the update authenticity transaction is sent to a first blockchain network.

Tracing and verifying a shared library using blockchain

Privacy-preserving homomorphic inferencing utilizes batch processing on encrypted data records. Each data record has a private data portion of interest against which the inferencing is carried out. Batch processing is enabled with respect to a set of encrypted data records by techniques that ensure that each encrypted data record has its associated private data portion in a unique location relative to the other data records. The set of encrypted data records are then summed to generate a single encrypted data record against which the inferencing is done. In a first embodiment, the private data portions of interest are selectively and uniquely positioned at runtime (when the inferencing is being applied). In a second embodiment, the private data portions of interest are initially positioned with the data-at-rest, preferably in an off-line process; thereafter, at runtime individual encrypted data records are processed as necessary to adjust the private data portions to unique positions prior to batching.

Efficiently batching pre-encrypted data for homomorphic inference

This disclosure provides a method, apparatus and computer program product to create a full homomorphic encryption (FHE)-friendly machine learning model. The approach herein leverages a knowledge distillation framework wherein the FHE-friendly (student) ML model closely mimics the predictions of a more complex (teacher) model, wherein the teacher model is one that, relative to the student model, is more complex and that is pre-trained on large datasets. In the approach herein, the distillation framework uses the more complex teacher model to facilitate training of the FHE-friendly model, but using synthetically-generated training data in lieu of the original datasets used to train the teacher.

Depth-constrained knowledge distillation for inference on encrypted data

An example operation may include one or more of receiving, via a network, tag data that is read from a tag associated with a physical object and signed with a key assigned to the tag, determining, via a blockchain peer, that the signed tag data is validly signed based on a corresponding key pair of the tag which is accessible to the blockchain peer, determining, via the blockchain peer, whether the tag data satisfies of one or more predefined conditions of the physical object, and storing the determination via a blockchain database.

Storage and communication environment for cryptographic tags

A method verifies an authenticity, integrity, and provenance of outputs from steps in a process flow. One or more processor(s) validate one or more inputs to each step in a process flow by verifying at least one of a hash and a digital signature of each of the one or more inputs. The processor(s) then generate digital signatures that cover outputs of each step and the one or more inputs to each step, such that the digital signatures result in a chain of digital signatures that are used to verify an authenticity, an integrity and a provenance of outputs of the one or more steps in the process flow.

Electronically verifying a process flow

A system, method and computer program product for composing persistent object instances that link resources across multiple, disparate systems. An example method includes associating resources with namespace-URLs and object instances. One of the namespace-URLs is designated as primary namespace-URL. A web-based object API is provided through which the object instance can be accessed. The web-based object API uses the primary namespace-URL as an identifier of the object instance.

Composition of persistent object instances linking resources across multiple, disparate systems

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for sending a message from a first user to a second user where an interface receives a message from the second user. A processor connected to the interface identifying one or more keywords in the message and searches an electronic database for the keyword(s) to identify one or more scripted message for the keyword(s). The electronic database includes scripted messages for each keyword in the electronic database. A communications device connected to the processor sends the identified scripted message(s) to the second user.

Cognitive messaging with dynamically changing inputs

Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized health care management system. The mechanisms receive a personalized health care plan for a patient having at least one health goal of the patient, and dynamic patient monitoring data from one or more patient monitoring devices associated with the patient. The mechanisms analyze the dynamic patient monitoring data to determine at least one first communication to output to the patient containing content eliciting conformance of the patient with the personalized health care plan to achieve the at least one health goal. The mechanisms send, to a patient care manager computing device of a patient care manager associated with the patient, a second communication based on results of analyzing the dynamic patient monitoring data. The second communication initiates a new communication session, or continues an existing communication session, between the patient care manager computing device and a patient communication device associated with the patient.

Continuous health care plan coordination between patient and patient care team

A method is provided, the method including initiating execution of a macro-transaction comprising a set of micro-transactions, wherein execution of a given micro-transaction is based at least on a set of prerequisites associated with the given micro-transaction; causing a pending state of a first micro-transaction to be stored on a database; executing the first micro-transaction; and updating the state of the first micro-transaction in the database based at least on a result returned in response to executing of the first micro-transaction. An apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

System and method for management and recovery of multi-service web transactions

A computer detects the receipt of a destination and mode of transportation from a user. The computer determines potential routes to the destination using static map information and splits the routes into shorter lengths known as segments. The computer determines a commute time for each of the segments based on static map information, known as a static segment commute time, and determines whether any of the segments have been previously commuted by the user. If so, the computer replaces the static segment commute times with the segment commute times recorded during previous commutes of the segment, known as habitual segment commute times. The computer then determines the total commute time of each potential route based on the static and habitual segment commute times and records additional habitual segment statistics as the user commutes the selected route.

GPS navigation

Verifying a set of safety equipment criteria may include receiving a first unit of data at a first computing device. The first unit of data may be received via a wireless signal between the first computing device and a set of sensing devices. A set of safety equipment that includes the set of sensing devices may be identified as the first unit of data. The set of sensing devices may be configured to transmit the first unit of data. The wireless signal between the first computing device and the set of sensing devices may be monitored and the signal strength for the wireless signal may be determined to be below a threshold value. A second computing device may be notified in response to the determining that the signal strength for the wireless signal is below the threshold value.

Safety equipment criteria verification

A system, method and computer program product for detecting data omissions between intermittently-connected devices. An example system includes a client device configured to execute client queries on a client data set, and generate client result sets. The client queries and client result sets are stored on a query queue as queued queries and queued result sets. The system includes a server device with a data omission detector and server database. The data omission detector receives the queued queries and queued result sets after detecting a network connection, executes server queries on the server database and generates server result sets. The server queries are based on the queued queries. The data omission detector compares the server result sets with queued result sets to determine if there are data omissions. Data omissions include data absent in the queued result set that is present in a server result set.

Detecting data omissions for an intermittently-connected application

A database manager, computer program product and methods for managing a database utilized by multiple applications. In one embodiment, the database manager performs a database record change to database records by a first application. The database manager branches the database records such that the database record change is visible to the first application and is not visible to one or more other applications accessing the database. The database manager can merge database record changes made by the other applications such that database schema changes made by the other applications are visible to the first application.
