Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide methods, systems, and articles of manufacture that facilitate classification of a data access authority of unclassified users into one or more categories, and control access of data by the users based on the categories. When an unclassified user is found in an organization chart, one or more classified users near the unclassified user in the data tree may be identified. The unclassified user may be compared to the identified classified users to determine one or more suggested data access categories for classifying the unclassified user. The unclassified user may therefore be classified into one of the suggested data access category based on, for example, user input.

Abstract: A method and circuit for eliminating silent store invalidation propagation in shared memory cache coherency protocols, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A received data value is compared with a stored cache data value. When the received data value matches the stored cache data value, a first squash signal is generated. A received write address is compared with a reservation address. When the received write address matches the reservation address, a reservation signal is generated and inverted. The first squash signal and the inverted reservation signal are combined to selectively produce a silent store squash signal. The silent store squash signal cancels sending an invalidation signal.

Abstract: An instant messaging system for securing chat sessions containing confidential subject matter during instant messaging from external entities, the system comprising: a rules engine module configured to continuously build and update a set of rules used to determine when a chat session between a first chat party and a second chat party during an instant messaging session contains confidential or uniquely classified subject matter by loading at least one default rules or previous session rules and enabling a user to provide user-defined rules until the instant message session is ended; and an instant messaging module configured to secure the contents in the chat session based on pre-defined user settings, the contents in the chat session being secured when the contents in the chat session is determined to contain confidential subject matter derived from the set of rules, the chat session is further secured by limiting the exposure of the contents in the chat session to third parties when the chat session is dete

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide methods, systems, and articles of manufacture that facilitate classification of unclassified data. When unclassified data records are found in a data tree, one or more classified data records near the unclassified data record in the data tree may be identified. The unclassified data record may be compared to the identified classified data record to determine one or more suggested classifications for the unclassified data record. The unclassified data record may therefore be classified into one of the suggested classifications based on, for example, user input.

Abstract: A method for securing chat sessions containing confidential subject matter during instant messaging from external entities is provided. The method, comprising: building a set of rules used to determine when a chat session between a first chat party and a second chat party during an instant messaging session contains confidential or uniquely classified subject matter; and securing the contents in the chat session based on pre-defined user settings, the contents in the chat session being secured when the contents in the chat session is determined to contain confidential subject matter derived from the set of rules, the chat session is further secured by limiting the exposure of the contents in the chat session to third parties when the chat session is determined to contain confidential subject matter while enabling the first chat party and the second chat party to view the contents in the chat session.

Abstract: A network appliance is emulated in a logically partitioned environment. Activity of a logical partition (LPAR) acting as a network appliance is monitored. When a change in activity occurs in the LPAR acting as the network appliance, a set of business logic partitions served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance is determined, and resource utilization of each business logic partition served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance is determined. A determination is also made whether each business logic partition served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance needs more or less resources. Availability of resources is determined, and resources are allocated or deallocated to or from the business logic partitions served by the LPAR acting as the network appliance based on the need for resources and the availability of resources for each business logic partition.
