User-Based Licensing With Real Time Location-Based Access Control, Vijeta Rana

Defensive Publications Series

Software monetization has traditionally supported device locked licenses. With the consumerization of IT, there is an expectation of B2C like experiences to be available in the B2B space – and with it the expectation is that the license is tied to a user and not with a device.

With the user-based licensing, now this is possible wherein the license is not tied to the device, though users are being authorized to access the software license from any device, using their credentials.

Here, the ISV is responsible for license generation of software products sold to customer, and the end-user access management …

Tracking Endpoint Connectivity Status, Anurag Kandalkar, Anand V Mohan, Yamini Puttagunta, Ankush Arora, Nutan Jadhav

Defensive Publications Series

In the Internet of Things (IOT) subsystem, some endpoints that have connections using protocols such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) involve a keep-alive feature that allows an MQTT to maintain its connection with a broker by sending regular control packets to the broker. However, the connection with the broker creates a level of dependency/overhead for maintaining the connection. This dependency can be eliminated by using existing protocols for keep-alive mechanisms. These protocols can identify the endpoints connection status based on a Keep-Alive Feasibility (KAF) score, which depends on various parameter criteria. Accordingly, a KAF analyzer tool is proposed herein …

Controlling The Selection Of A Home Network Public Key For Suci Encryption In A Sim Or Esim, Irfan Ali, Eugen Nicoara, Ravi Kiran Guntupalli, Chase Wolfinger

Defensive Publications Series

In private 5G deployments with multiple edges where authentication and user-identity decryption, from SUCI (SUbscription Concealed Identity) to the real identity of the device/UE (IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identity), needs to be performed on-premise, i.e. at the edge and not in a centralized cloud location, the home network secret key used to decrypt a subscriber’s SUCI (Subscription Concealed Identifier) for the subscribers must be available at the network edge location. Having the same home network secret key at all edge locations is a security concern, since compromise of the home network secret key at any single edge can lead to …

Blending Forecasting Models Via Meta Forecasting, K. S. Yim

Defensive Publications Series

Large language models (LLMs) have recently been utilized to construct forecasting models for time series data. Both classical statistical models and newer LLM-based models offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. Significant effort is often invested in selecting and customizing suitable models. Current blending techniques, often employed in ensemble learning, involve training an additional layer during the training phase. This additional layer combines the prediction results of individual forecasting models to generate the final outcome. These techniques necessitate an extra training process, preventing direct use at inference time, and lack full customization for time series data forecasting. This disclosure describes techniques comprising …

Circular Buffer For Video Capture With Enhanced Privacy, Shivam Agrawal

Defensive Publications Series

Some wearable devices such as augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR) glasses include cameras that enable capturing photos or videos of the user’s field of view. In some cases, AR/MR glasses may be set to a mode where video is captured continuously. Such capture is useful to determine relevant real-time information and provide it to the user as an overlay. However, when a user wearing such glasses navigates in the world, it is possible that the glasses capture video of other individuals or in locations. This disclosure describes techniques to limit storage of video captured via wearable devices. A circular buffer capable of …

Automating Unsupervised Topic Trend Detection In Call Centers, Varsha Embar, Ritvik Shrivastava, Karthik Raghunathan

Defensive Publications Series

Contact centers, often referred to as call centers, can deal with a large number of calls each day. Identifying commonly occurring topics of calls can help call center administrators with resource allocation and prioritization. Many existing topic analysis call center solutions utilize historical data, inference on new calls, and some degree of personalization for determining topic trends. However, a modern-day topic analytics dashboard for a call center should also facilitate a higher degree of personalization in terms of adding existing topic labels, identifying new topics, and monitoring/alerting administrators when models are stale and in need of re-training. Various techniques are …
