Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC

International Classification:

F42C 1304

US Classification:

102214

Abstract:

1. A fuze system comprising in combination: an antenna, a plurality of inendent channels, a firing circuit, and detonator means; each of said channels comprising oscillating detector means for generating a transmitting signal and a monitoring signal, said detector means upon receipt of a target signal having an output container a doppler frequency component, amplifying means connected to said oscillating detector means, means connected to said amplifying means for separating said monitoring signal from said doppler target signal, and rectifying means for forming a d-c holding bias from said monitoring signal; said firing circuit having first and second inputs; means for applying both the holding bias and the doppler target signal of one of said channels to said first firing circuit input, and means for applying both the holding bias and the doppler target signal of another one of said channels to said second firing circuit input said means responsive to said monitoring means enabling said fuze to operate by any remaining channels upon failure of one channel; said detonator means being connected to the output of said firing circuit.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455
G06F 21/44
H04L 9/40
G06Q 30/06

Abstract:

A vendor of virtual machine images accesses a virtual computer system service to upload a digitally signed virtual machine image to a data store usable by customers of the virtual computer system service to select an image for creating a virtual machine instance. If a digital certificate is uploaded along with the virtual machine image, the virtual computer system service may determine whether the digital certificate has been trusted for use. If the digital certificate has been trusted for use, the virtual computer system service may use a public cryptographic key to decrypt a hash signature included with the image to obtain a first hash value. The service may additionally apply a hash function to the image itself to obtain a second hash value. If the two hash values match, then the virtual machine image may be deemed to be authentic.

Appl. No.:

16/844303

Inventors:

James FINK - Potomac Falls VA, US
Robert Eric FITZGERALD - Aldie VA, US

Assignee:

Amazon Technologies, Inc. - Seattle WA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

Techniques for configurable event-based compute instance security assessments are described. A security assessment service receives one or more configuration messages, sent on behalf of a user, indicating a request to perform a security assessment of one or more computing resources managed by a service provider system responsive to any of one or more events being determined to have occurred. The security assessment is to include attempting to identify security vulnerabilities of the one or more computing resources. The security assessment service determines that an event of the one or more events has occurred subsequent to event data being reported that is indicative of the event, and performs the security assessment of the one or more computing resources responsive to the determining that the event has occurred.

Inventors:

- Seattle WA, US
Robert Eric Fitzgerald - Herndon VA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 4/14

Abstract:

A user-promotion process allows a service provider to grant the security roles associated with a target user account to a requester by obtaining approvals from a quorum of approving users. The quorum requirements and the identity of the approving users may be established by the target user or an account manager. Upon receiving, from a promotion candidate, a request to assume security roles of a target user, the service provider identifies the approving users from the target user's account record. Approvals are requested from the approving users, and if a quorum of approvals is received by the service provider, the promotion candidate is allowed to assume the roles of the target user. If a quorum of approvals is not received, then substitute approving users may be identified based at least in part on those approving users that did not respond to the approval request.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
H04L 9/30
H04L 9/14

Abstract:

Digital certificates include pointers to remote certificate information stores that maintain usage information associated with digital certificates. The pointers provide a mechanism for enabling the remote certificate information stores to be queried for usage information associated with a particular digital certificate. The usage information can be used to determine a validity of the digital certificate.

Robert Eric Fitzgerald - Herndon VA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Customers of a computing resource service provider may operate computing resources provided by the computing resource service provider. Operational information from customer operated computing resources may be correlated with operational information from computing resources operated by the computing resource service provider or other entities, and correlated threat information may be generated.
