Publication number: 20230299968Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for authorizing execution of processes that access cached data of an application running in a virtualized cloud environment. A first composite encrypted value comprising a first encrypted secret and a first secure hash value of a first secret is retrieved at a first virtual machine. The first encrypted secret is decrypted using a cryptographic key to determine a second secret to be used for initiating a first process (p?) on the first virtual machine. A second secure hash value of the second secret is generated. The second secure hash value is compared with the first secure hash value to determine whether to authorize execution of the first process on the first virtual machine using the first secret. In response to determining that the second secure hash value and the first secure hash value match, the first process is initiated at the first virtual machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Tobias Dyrba, Steffen Koenig, Tsonyo Lazkov Yonchev

Patent number: 10956440Abstract: Documents are compressed. A partially compressed document is obtained. The partially compressed document includes one or more code words that replace one or more common tokens of a document to be compressed. The one or more common tokens are tokens common to a plurality of documents, and included in a common dictionary. The common dictionary provides a mapping of code words to common tokens. A document associated dictionary is created from non-common tokens of the document to be compressed. The document associated dictionary provides another mapping of other code words to the non-common tokens. A compressed document is created. The creating of the compressed document includes replacing one or more non-common tokens of the partially compressed document with one or more other code words of the document associated dictionary. The compressed document includes the one or more code words of the partially compressed document and the one or more other code words of the document associated dictionary.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jochen Roehrig, Thomas H.

Patent number: 10649977Abstract: In an approach for calculating a probability of a consistency violation of a transaction in a database management system, a processor receives a plurality of transactions within a predetermined time period. A processor identifies a first pattern in a first transaction of the plurality of transactions based on at least an isolation level of the transaction. A processor identifies a second pattern, wherein the second pattern is the cooperation between the first transaction and the second transaction. A processor determines that the first pattern of the first transaction substantially matches a preexisting pattern, wherein the preexisting pattern corresponds to values for a mathematical model for estimating a percentage of transactions in violation of consistency criteria. A processor extracts values from the first transaction based on the determined preexisting pattern. A processor calculates the mathematical model using the values from the first transaction and the values from the preexisting pattern.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas H.
