Abstract: An indication to determine a device to host at least one shared content found on a first device is received. The first device is connected to a network. The network includes two or more devices. To each device of the two or more devices connected to the network, a request to host the at least one shared content found on the first device is transmitted. Responsive to transmitting the request, a response to host from at least one device of the two or more devices connected to the network is received. An optimal device of the at least one device to host the at least one shared content is determined. The at least one shared content is transmitted to the optimal device.

Abstract: A method for a cryptographic service facilitating asymmetric encryption is provided. The cryptographic service is implemented on one or more computer systems. The method includes receiving, by the cryptographic service, one or more unique identifiers. The method also includes determining, by the cryptographic service, whether each of the one or more unique identifiers is valid. The method includes generating, by the cryptographic service, a key pair per unique identifier of the one or more unique identifiers based on whether the corresponding unique identifier is valid. The method includes sending, by the cryptographic service, a success reply including a public key for each key pair generation.

Abstract: A computer system may generate acoustical recommendations for a user. A set of actual acoustical data input may be received and compared with a set of expected acoustical data accessed from memory. The set of actual and expected acoustical data may be corresponding. A set of actual acoustical data vectors may be generated and analyzed against a set of expected acoustical vectors. Deviating portions between the actual and expected may be determined and a set of performance rating vectors may be generated based on each deviating portion. Based on these vectors, and by applying the performance rating vectors to a list of reference ratings, the system can generate a set of acoustical recommendations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for interactive software demonstrations. While a presenter demonstrates software to the participants, the demonstration may be “paused” and “resumed.” When paused, the participants are able to interact with the demonstrated software program. When “resumed,” the participants are not able to interact with the demonstrated software program. Spawned virtual machines, wherein the virtual machines control access to the software program being demonstrated, permit participant interaction.

Abstract: A method for safeguarding a stored file from malware. In one embodiment, the method includes at least one computer processor receiving, to a storage system, a first file from a first computing device. The method further includes analyzing the received first file to determine whether the received first file is suspected of encryption by malware. The method further includes responding to determining that the received first file is suspected of encryption by malware, initiating one or more actions, including suspending replacement of an instance of the first file backed up to the storage system with the received first file. The method further includes storing the received first file to a portion of the storage system designated for file isolation.
