Title: Computer-implemented security methods and systems
Inventor: BEHNAM AZVINE
IPC: G06N20/00
Filed: 2020-07-17
Abstract: One method involves a machine learning algorithm updating weighting coefficients associated with threat factors, threat factors having values defined for requests for peripheral devices to connect to networked devices coupled to a secure network; updating a security policy associated with the secure network in respect of a particular threat factor when that threat factor’s weighting coefficient changes by more than a predetermined amount in a predetermined period; and automatically approving or denying requests for peripheral devices to connect to the networked devices in dependence on that policy. Another method involves obtaining a peripheral connection request profile, obtaining a threat score associated with the request, where the threat score is determined from a weighted combination of threat factors dependent on contents of a field of the profile and having a weighting coefficient; denying the request when the threat score is above a threshold, otherwise, obtaining a policy decision based on profile and secure network policy comparison and providing request approval or denial according to the policy decision. Storing the profile in a database in association with an approval/denial indication of the request, updating weighting coefficients in dependence on the database contents, and updating the policy in response to changing weighting coefficients.

IPC: H04N19/196
Filed: 2020-09-30
Abstract: Encoding successive data items by selecting a series of data sets from a plurality of candidate data sets based on a number of previously encoded data sets and history data of data items; wherein each data set represents a range of values of data item(s). A given data set is then encoded according to a first encoding technique up to a maximum value of the data item; and any remaining value of the data item that exceeds the maximum value is encoded using a second encoding technique. The invention may be a method of video coding for quantised transform coefficients. The data item encoded by the first encoding technique may be a significance map, a “greater than 1” (GT1) flag, “value & 1” flag or “greater than 2” (GT2) flag; and the remaining values encoded by the second encoding technique may be escape values. The length of the data item encoded by the first encoding technique may be fixed, but the escape values may have a length dependent on a so-called Rice parameter. The arrangement is generally referred to as a Golomb-Rice code.
