A method for voice activation of a software agent from a standby mode. In one embodiment, an audio recording (2) is buffered in an audio buffer (6) and at the same time, the audio recording is input to a secondary voice recognition process (7) which is economical in terms of energy and has an increased false positive rate. When a keyword is recognized, a primary voice recognition process (8) is activated from an inactive state, which converts the audio buffer to text and inputs it to a dialog system (9) which analyzes as to whether there is a relevant question made by the user. If this is the case, the user gets an acoustic reply (3), and if this is not the case, the dialog system and the primary voice recognition process immediately return to the inactive state and transfer the control to the secondary voice recognition process.

Detecting buffer-overflow exploits scans generically for shellcode without using virus signatures and maintains close to a zero false-positive rate. Shellcode is detected generically without determining specifically which buffer-overflow exploit is being used. Protection is offered against unknown buffer-overflow exploits. A file is scanned to determine if a vulnerable buffer in that file includes suspect code that has characteristics of shellcode. Next, it is determined if the suspect code contains a routine to find the imagebase of Kernel32.dll using any of the techniques of PEB, TOS or SEH (process environment block, top of stack or structured exception handling). It is next determined if the suspect code contains a routine to search for APIs in the export table of kernel32.dll. Techniques for analyzing the suspect code include static analysis and executing the code in an emulator. A high sensitivity setting determines that shellcode is present when any of the techniques of PEB, TOS or SEH are found.

This invention uses non-parametric statistical measures and probability mathematical techniques to calculate deviations of variable values, on both the high and low side of a data distribution, from the midpoint of the data distribution. It transforms the data values and then combines all of the individual variable values into a single scalar value that is a “good-ness” score. This “good-ness” behavior score model characterizes “normal” or typical behavior, rather than predicting fraudulent, abusive, or “bad”, behavior. The “good” score is a measure of how likely it is that the subject's behavior characteristics are from a population representing a “good” or “normal” provider, claim, beneficiary or healthcare merchant behavior. The “good” score can replace or compliment a score model that predicts “bad” behavior in order to reduce false positive rates. The optimal risk management prevention program should include both a “good” behavior score model and a “bad” behavior score model.

A dynamic Bloom filter comprises a cascaded set of Bloom filters. The system estimates or guesses a cardinality of input items, selects a number of hash functions based on the desired false positive rate, and allocates memory for an initial Bloom filter based on the estimated cardinality and desired false positive rate. The system inserts items into the initial Bloom filter and counts the bits set as they are inserted. If the number of bits set in the current Bloom filter reaches a predetermined target, the system declares the current Bloom filter full. The system recursively generates additional Bloom filters as needed for items remaining after the initial Bloom filter is filled; items are checked to eliminate duplicates. Each of the set of Bloom filters is individually queried to identify a positive or negative in response to a query. When the system is configured such that the false positive rate of each successive Bloom filter is decreased by one half, the system guarantees a false positive rate of at most twice the desired false positive rate.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for updating Bloom filters. Embodiments of the invention facilitate more efficient use Bloom filters across multiple computers connected across a WAN (potentially having limited bandwidth and latency characteristics), such as, for example, computers located on different continents. The acceptability of false positives is leveraged by allowing the operation of removing items from a set to be batched and delayed. On the other hand, insert operations may be more latency sensitive as a delayed insert results in the semantic equivalent to a false negative. As such, additions to a set are processed in closer to real time to update Bloom filters. In some embodiments, Bloom filters are used to check set membership for electronic mail addresses.
