Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided for using a payment card with an embedded RFID device. In one example, a cellular telephone or other wireless device is used to generate a one-time password (OTP), which is then transmitted by a read-write RFID in the wireless device to the read-write RFID which is embedded within a payment card. The user's phone or other wireless device then activates the writing of the OTP to the RFID of the payment card. The payment card, with the one time password now saved in the card, is then handed to the waiter or store clerk for payment approval and/or further processing. The user's OTP is then read by the merchant's RFID reader and transmitted to an approving agency/server for approval or disapproval of the user's purchase.

Abstract: A Visual Macro Program records and replays desired actions performed by a user in creating or editing a document. The recorded actions are appended to the document as an attachment that can be replayed by a user at a later time by enabling a tag associated with the recorded actions.

Abstract: Techniques are presented herein that combine a host-based analysis of an executable file on a host computer with a network-based analysis, i.e., an analysis of domain names to detect malware generated domain names that are used by the malicious executable files to establish malicious network connections. A server receives information from a host computer about an executable file that, when executed on the host computer, initiates a network connection. The server also receives information about the network connection itself. The server analyzes the information about the executable file to determine whether the executable file has a malicious disposition. Depending on a disposition of the executable file, the server analyzes the information about the network connection and determines whether the network connection is malicious.

Abstract: A receipt receives an electronic message from a sender, wherein said electronic message comprises at least one suggested folder name specified by the sender for the recipient to select as a folder name for filing the electronic message, wherein the at least one suggested folder name is detected by a sender computer system from a selection by the sender within a user interface of the sender computer system of the at least one suggested folder name for the electronic message and inserted into the electronic message. The electronic message is filtered to detect the at least one suggested folder name for filing the electronic message in a messaging filing directory. Responsive to the recipient selecting to file the electronic message, the electronic message is filed in at least one folder with the suggested folder name from among a plurality of folders.

Abstract: A web browser displays a set of search results from a web search, each search result indicating a link to a web page. Responsive to selection of a first of the set of search results for exclusion from display, a subset of one or more of the set of search results that indicate related links is identified. The related links comprise links have a same domain name as the link of the first search result. The first search result and the subset of the set of search results are excluded. The search results are displayed without the excluded ones of the set of search results.

Abstract: A sender selection is detected at a sender computer system within a user interface of at least one suggested folder name for a composed electronic message for a recipient receiving the electronic message to select as a folder name for filing the electronic message. The at least one suggested folder name is attached to the electronic message at the sender computer system for distribution to the recipient. The electronic message is sent with the suggested filing folder name from the sender computer system to a recipient, wherein a recipient receiving the electronic message receives the at least one suggested folder name specified by the sender in the electronic message for selecting a folder for filing the electronic message in a messaging filing directory for the recipient.

Abstract: A system, method, and program product is provided that selects an instant messaging message that includes one or more words in a text area. The instant message is a communication with an instant messaging participant that corresponds to an instant messaging participant identifier. A count is kept of the words that match keywords that are associated with a selected instant messaging group data store that is stored in a nonvolatile data area. If the count exceeds a particular threshold, the instant messaging participant identifier is added to the selected instant messaging group.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing calendar conflicts. A plurality of calendar invitations waiting to be processed is identified to form a plurality of unprocessed calendar invitations. Calendar invitations are grouped within the plurality of unprocessed calendar invitations together that conflict with each other to form a group of conflicting calendar invitations. Each conflicting calendar invitation in the group of conflicting calendar invitations is presented in association with other calendar invitations in the group for resolution.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a server receives a first request from a client over a command port connection. The server, in turn, sends a first phase authentication token to the client over the command port and receives a second request from the client over a management port connection. In response, the server sends a second phase authentication token to the client over the management port connection, which the server receives back from the client over the command port connection. In turn, the server authenticates the client to utilize the command port connection accordingly.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for automatically displaying the potential risk associated with cracking a password. While creating or modifying a password, feedback is provided describing the risk associated with cracking the password. Risk assessment may be presented as a percentage, accompanied by an explanation of why the value was ascertained. Risk feedback during password creation provides an opportunity to improve computer, document, and file security.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for identifying a snooping device in a network environment. A snoop echo response extractor generates an echo request packet with a bogus MAC address that will only be received by a snooping device. The snoop echo response extractor also uses an IP address that will cause the snooping device to respond to the echo request.

Abstract: A general purpose distributed encrypted file system generates a block key on a client machine. The client machine encrypts a file using the block key. Then, the client encrypts the block key on the first client machine with a public key of a keystore associated with a user and associates the encrypted block key with the encrypted data block as crypto metadata. The client machine caches the encrypted data block and the crypto metadata and sends the encrypted data block and the crypto metadata to a network file system server. When the client machine receives a return code from the network file system server indicating successful writes of the encrypted data block and the crypto metadata, the client machine clears the cached encrypted data block and the crypto metadata.

Abstract: A system includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive network traffic that includes a data block. The processor will generate a unique identifier (UID) for the file that includes a hash value corresponding to the file. The processor will determine whether the file is indicated as good or bad with the previously-stored UID. The processor will call a file-type specific detection nugget corresponding to the file's file-type to perform a full file inspection to detect whether the file is good or bad and store a result of the inspection together with the UID of the file, when the file is determined to be not listed in the previously-stored UIDs. The processor will not call the file-type specific detection nugget when the file's indicator is “good” or “bad” in the previously-stored UIDs. The processor will issue an alert about the bad file when the file's indicator is “bad”.
