Patent number: 9552362Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for storing back-up files using file identicality properties are provided. A system is provided that intercepts file information from files while they are being stored to a back-up system. The files are intercepted with a file gathering interface that is in communication with one or more information source clients. The system includes an indexing engine to index file data contents of the intercepted file, a metadata engine to manage metadata concerning the intercepted file, and a triage engine to manage the file gathering interface, the indexing engine, and the metadata engine. Methods are provided for the interception of files being sent to a back-up system that take advantage of file identicality properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Callahan Cellular L.L.C.Inventors: Bruce Borden, Russell Brand

Patent number: 8868501Abstract: A method, computer program product, and apparatus for managing file updates using content signatures that use file identicality properties are provided. A method and computer program product are provided for the notification of receipt of a new version of the old file using content signatures that take advantage of file identicality properties. Content signature application modules and registries exist within information source clients and centralized servers to support the notification methods. An apparatus is provided that associates a file it has received, that is a new version of an old file, with previously stored content signatures in an indexed archive system. The information source clients that have the previously stored content signatures are then identified. These information source clients are then notified that the new version of the file exists.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignees: Einstein's Elephant, Inc., Carmenso Data Limited Liability CompanyInventors: Bruce Borden, Russell Brand

Publication number: 20120185445Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for identifying identical files using content signatures are provided. A content signature is generated within an indexed archive system for a file received at an information source client in a network. The generated content signature is compared with content signatures associated with files that already exist within the network. It is then determined whether the content signature for the received file matches that of an existing file in the network. Where there is a match, the metadata for the received file is examined to determine if the received file was independently created from the existing file with matching content signature. If the metadata confirms the independent creation, a control action is taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: Carmenso Data Limited Liability CompanyInventors: Bruce BORDEN, Russell BRAND

Publication number: 20120185505Abstract: A method and computer program product for accelerating web browsing using content signatures are provided. A web page is requested that has a set of content signatures associated with content of the web page. The set of content signatures is compared with content signatures already stored on an information source client. Links for any content associated with any unmatched content signatures are requested. The content and content signatures not already stored on the information source client are then stored.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: Carmenso Data Limited Liability CompanyInventors: Bruce BORDEN, Russell Brand

Publication number: 20120158760Abstract: A method and computer program product for performing computer forensics using file identicality are provided. A file under investigation, or a content signature for the file under investigation, is received. A content signature watch registry is updated with the content signature of the file under investigation. Any information source clients that contain the content signature for the file under investigation are identified. Any information source clients that previously contained the content signature are also identified. When any new files are received, their content signatures are compared against the updated content signature watch registry and any matches are identified. For all information source clients and content signatures identified, a control action is initiated to either generate a file investigation report or a notification for an administrator of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2012Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: Carmenso Data Limited Liability CompanyInventors: Bruce BORDEN, Russell Brand

Publication number: 20120131001Abstract: A method and computer program product for generating prioritized search results using file identicality are provided. Content signatures may facilitate searches for files based on search requests or specific signatures. A user enters a search request, which is received at an indexed archive system. All of the files in the indexed archive system are searched for any files that include the search request or its equivalent, and a list is then generated of the files that are identified in the search. The indexed archive system determines the content signatures for each file identified, as well as statistics for the files identified. These statistics are used to prioritize the list of identified files. The prioritized list is then returned to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2012Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: Carmenso Data Limited Liability CompanyInventors: Bruce BORDEN, Russell Brand

Publication number: 20120117665Abstract: A method and computer program product for managing restricted content, such as confidential or classified content, using content signatures are provided. A registry is established within an indexed archive system for content signatures of restricted files. Participants enroll in the registry and submit content signatures of all their files to the registry. The registry compares the submitted content signatures to those stored previously in the registry. The registry initiates a control action whenever there is a match between a participant's content signature and a previously stored content signature of a file to which the participant does not have access rights. When there is no match, the participant retains access to the restricted file.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2012Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: Carmenso Data Limited Liability CompanyInventors: Bruce BORDEN, Russell Brand
