Approximating energy use of software executing on virtual machines is presented herein. A system determines a pair of energy consumption baselines of a host computing device representing respective energy being utilized by the host computing device; determines, at a sampling time within a job execution period during which a job has been executing on a virtual machine (VM) of the host computing device, an energy consumption of the host computing device; and based on the pair of energy consumption baselines and the energy consumption of the host computing device, and further based on respective estimated portions of processing resources of a central processing unit of the host computing device being utilized, at the sampling time, by the VM and by the job within the VM, determines an approximate amount of energy use of the job that has executed on the VM.

One example method includes detecting a file access process, such as a write operation performed by a ransomware process, directed to a file, based on the detecting, incrementing a counter, checking to determine if the counter exceeds a defined threshold, and when the counter exceeds the defined threshold, creating a backup of the file. The backup file may be a read-only file, and may expire, and be deleted, at a particular time, or after the passage of a period of time.

A data encryption, decryption, and storage method includes: receiving a first query request to retrieve a production data; obtaining a constructed data and encrypting the constructed data using the production data to obtain an encrypted constructed data where the encrypted constructed data is generated without including metadata specifying an access list specifying one or more users and types of users that are able to access the encrypted constructed data; and generating decryption instructions using the production data and storing the decryption instructions with the encrypted constructed data.

System and method for encrypted storage of constructed data

One example method includes identifying a column of a table, and the column includes multiple entries, setting a proposed uniqueness for the column, setting a confidence tolerance for the proposed uniqueness, estimating a sub-sample size for the column based on the proposed uniqueness and the confidence tolerance, based on the sub-sample size, sampling a subset of the entries in the column and, based on the sampling, determining whether or not the column is a primary key for the table.

Efficient method to find columns of a table which are unique

One example method includes identifying dissimilar items in a data set. A data set may be walked one or more times and the nodes or vertices of the data set may be scored based on the number of times the nodes are touched during the walks. Scores below a threshold score are determined to be dissimilar nodes in the data set. This allows a diverse set of nodes to be identified. A dissimilar data set may be used to prevent unintentional bias in algorithmic training.

Random walks to detect dissimilar records

One example method includes logging into websites through devices including insecure devices. A logon device may store credentials. The logon device is configured to connect with an insecure device and then communicate with a website for authentication purposes without exposing a user's credentials to the insecure device. After the user is authenticated, the session is transferred to the insecure device.

A method for securing a secret of a client using an escrow agent operatively connected to the client includes initiating enrollment of the client with the escrow agent, wherein the enrollment results the escrow agent generating a key pair comprising a public key and a private key, obtaining the public key from the escrow agent, wherein the private key is not shared with the client, encrypting the secret with the public key to obtain an encrypted secret, and storing the encrypted secret on the client.

Method and system for encrypting and decrypting secrets using escrow agents

One example method includes capturing audio data at a client engine while outputting an output video, the output video being based upon an original video stored at the client engine, delivering the captured audio data to a prediction engine upon the captured audio data being captured for a pre-determined time, receiving from the prediction engine substitute frame data used by the client engine to stitch one or more frames into the original video stored at the client engine, and following stitching the one or more frames into the output video to generate an altered output video, outputting the captured audio data and the altered video from the client engine.

Continuous video generation from voice data

One example method includes evaluating code of a quantum circuit, estimating one or more runtime statistics concerning the code, generating a recommendation based on the one or more runtime statistics, and the recommendation identifies one or more resources recommended to be used to execute the quantum circuit, checking availability of the resources for executing the quantum circuit, allocating resources, when available, sufficient to execute the quantum circuit, and using the allocated resources to execute the quantum circuit.

A method for verifying a secret decryption of an escrow agent by a client operatively connected to the escrow agent includes initiating enrollment of the client with the escrow agent, wherein the enrollment results the escrow agent generating a key pair comprising a public key and a private key, obtaining the public key from the escrow agent, wherein the private key is not shared with the client, encrypting the secret with the public key to obtain an encrypted secret, after encrypting the secret, encrypting, based on a verification trigger, a verification value using the public key to obtain an encrypted verification value, sending the encrypted verification value to the escrow agent, obtaining a secret decryption response from the escrow agent, making a determination, based on the secret decryption response, that the escrow agent is not capable of decrypting the secret, and based on the determination, performing a remediation action.

Method and system for verifying secret decryption capability of escrow agents

Techniques are provided for automated key management for accessing remote devices using single sign-on techniques. One method comprises maintaining a data record identifying target user devices that a given source user device is authorized to access; and initiating storage of a public key of the given source user device in a file of at least one target user device, wherein the given source user device accesses the at least one target user device using a secure remote connection protocol based on the public key of the given source user device stored in the file of the at least one target user device. The data record may further comprise a fingerprint of a key of the at least one target user device, and the method may further comprise comparing a fingerprint of the key returned by the at least one target user device to the fingerprint of the key obtained from the data record.
