  • Identifying use of a restricted term in a source file
    Patent number: 7904884
    Abstract: A method of data processing that converts a set of restricted terms, which is considered prohibited for use in source files, into an encrypted form, which prevents unauthorized users from reading the set of restricted terms. Further, the terms from a selected source file are encrypted with the same algorithm that was used on the set of prohibited terms. Then, a determination is made if the selected source file has one or more of the encrypted, restricted terms. In response to determining that the selected source file has one or more of the encrypted, restricted terms, an indication is given that the selected source file has one or more of the encrypted, restricted terms.

  • Killing login-based sessions with a single action
    Patent number: 7743153
    Abstract: A method, system, and program are provided for killing login-based sessions with a single action. In addition to issuing a session token to a client system upon login by a user to a network service, a personal token is issued to the client system. The personal token is executable at the client system to trigger accesses to a personal session controller and to automatically disallow the session token if the personal session controller indicates that the personal token is deactivated. The personal session controller enables an interface through which a user is enabled select to deactivate all active personal tokens with a single action, such that a user manages killing login-based sessions independent of the server system authorizing each login-based session and independent of the client system to which the login-based session was authorized.
