Abstract: A third-party server, delegated by organizations to manage application environment, may maintain a plurality of guided workflow plans. At least one of the guided workflow plans may include one or more steps associated with setting up an interaction control policy. The third-party server may receive an interaction report associated with the organization. The interaction report may include metadata of one or more devices that interacted with other devices. The third-party server may identify a particular device to which existing interaction control policies of the organization are inapplicable. The third-party server may search for additional out-of-band information of the particular device using the metadata in the interaction report. The third-party server may select an applicable guided workflow plan for setting up an applicable interaction control policy for the particular device. A guided workflow may be presented via a graphical user interface according to the applicable guided workflow plan.

Abstract: A delivering email system is configured to receive a request to send an email to a recipient, identify an authentication method of a sender account for the email, modify email headers of the email to include an indication of the authentication method, generate digital signatures for the email that include the email headers within a scope of the digital signatures, modify the email such that an email header of the email includes the digital signatures, and transmit the email, including the indication of the authentication method and the digital signatures, to the recipient at a receiving email system. The receiving email system is configured to receive the email, determine that the email headers are unaltered by validating the digital signatures against a public key of the sender domain, determine whether the authentication method indicated meets a criteria, and execute a security response against the email if not.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing storage of encrypted data sets, deduplication of such data sets, and control of the redundancy of those data sets. A form of modified convergent encryption can be employed, whereby an encryption key for a data set is selected based on a combination of the plaintext of the data set and a salt value, with the salt value being selected from a number of permutations corresponding to a desired redundancy of the data set in a storage system. Accordingly, a given data set can result in a number of ciphertexts equal to the desired redundancy, and deduplication can occur by removing duplicative instances of individual ciphertexts. Salt values can be selected according to a variety of criteria, including user-based, time-based, and location-based criteria.

Abstract: A synchronous dynamometer assembly for applying a load to an engine during at least one portion of the combustion cycle of the engine in a synchronised manner so as to be repeatable each cycle of the engine comprises a dynamometer having a non-inductive load which is applied to the engine during operation to vary the speed of the engine. The non-inductive load is variable by varying the current delivered to it. Crankshaft monitoring means monitors the rotational position of the engine crankshaft, and combustion detection means detects a combustion event in a cylinder of the engine. Control means is operatively connected to the dynamometer for applying the load from the dynamometer to the engine for at least one part of the combustion cycle in real time such that the different loads may be applied to the engine for different parts of the combustion cycle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing secure storage of data sets while enabling efficient deduplication of data. Each data set can be divided into fixed-length blocks. The plaintext of each block can be convergently encrypted, such as by using a hash of the plaintext as an encryption key, to result in block-level ciphertext that can be stored. If two data sets share blocks, the resulting block-level ciphertext can be expected to overlap, and thus duplicative block-level ciphertexts need not be stored. A manifest can be created to facilitate re-creation of the data set, which manifest identifies the block-level ciphertexts of the data set and a key by which each block-level ciphertext was encrypted. By use of block-level encryption, nearly identical data sets can be largely deduplicated, even if they are not perfectly identical.

Abstract: A DNS server receives from a receiving email system, a DNS query for an email domain stored at the DNS server, the DNS query including identifying information of a sender of an email. The DNS server extracts the identifying information of the email sender from the DNS query and identifies one of a plurality of delivering organizations from the information. The DNS server determines whether the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain. In response to determining that the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain, the DNS server generates a target validation record based on the identity of the authorized delivering organization and the email domain, the target validation record including one or more rules indicating to the receiving email system whether the delivering organization is an authorized sender of email for the email domain.

Abstract: An email validation system receives an email validation request from a requestor to validate an email, the email validation request indicating at least a sender domain indicating a domain of the sender of the email. The email validation system determines whether the sender domain is in a whitelist of known domains, wherein a known domain is a domain that is linked to an organization whose provenance is known, such that it can be linked to an identifiable entity in the real world. The email validation system generates, in response to determining that the sender domain is not in the list of known domains, a message indicating that the email is not valid. The email validation system generates, in response to determining that the sender domain is in the list of known domains, the message indicating that the email is valid, and transmits the message to the requestor.
