Patent number: 11496301Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention comprise a method, system, and/or computer program product for a publish/subscribe messaging system. A processor identifies a subscriber of a pub/sub messaging system. The processor retrieves a stored encrypted key for the identified subscriber of the pub/sub messaging system. The processor communicates the retrieved encrypted key to a user selected from a group comprising a publisher of the pub/sub messaging system and the identified subscriber of the pub/sub messaging system. The processor implements end-to-end encryption of messages of the pub/sub messaging system based on key-groups.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ian Charles Edwards, Jonathan Levell, Bernard Zdzislaw Kufluk

Patent number: 10922127Abstract: A method and system are provided for transactional messaging support in connected messaging networks. A first messaging network is provided which does not support transactional processing and a second messaging network is provided which does support transactional processing. A proxy application is provided between the first and second messaging networks. The proxy application receives messages from a first application on the first messaging network, the messages including instructions regarding transactional processing of the messages, and forwards the messages to the second messaging network using a transactional processing supported by the second messaging network.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Levell, Matthew David Peel

Patent number: 10608970Abstract: A messaging system having a cluster of receiving applications for handling received messages, and a cluster of messaging engines for receiving messages from one or more message sources and forwarding the received messages to one of the receiving applications is provided. Each messaging engine is operable to transmit load balancing information, the load balancing information comprising an indication of the current loading on the messaging engine. The receiving applications are instructed to establish a connection to receive messages from a particular messaging engine within the cluster based on the load balancing information. Accordingly, applications are able to receive messages in such a way that the messages do not build up unprocessed on a particular messaging engine for too long, and such that messages are routed to messaging engines where messages are being consumed, and so that the receiving applications receive messages from every messaging engine where messages are arriving.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Leo J. Davison, Ian C. Edwards, Jonathan Levell, Andrew J. Schofield

Patent number: 10594703Abstract: A method for managing a plurality of messages associated with an online messaging system is provided. The method may include receiving a message from a messaging source. The method may also include determining whether the messaging source associated with the received message is trusted. The method may further include tagging the received message or storing the received message, wherein the tagging and the storing is based on the determination that the messaging source is not trusted. The method may additionally include validating the received message.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anthony P. Beardsmore, Jonathan Levell

Patent number: 10491532Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for configurable pacing in messaging systems. In an embodiment of the invention, a configurable message pacing method has been provided. The method includes receiving a message directed for placement in a repository of an intermediate messaging system into which messages are placed by message producing applications and from which messages are retrieved by message consuming applications. Thereafter, it can be determined if the placement of the received message into the repository will result in a breach of an associated threshold value for the repository. Consequently, a message pacing action can be triggered responsive to the determination that the placement of the received message into the repository will result in a breach of the associated threshold value for the repository.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew D.J. Banks, Jonathan Isaac, Jonathan Levell, Trevor Lobban
