  • Publication number: 20240098115
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. A request specifying an identity is received and dispatched to a service instance of a data storage boundary, where each data storage boundary is defined by a regulation or policy restricting data storage of specific types of data to computing devices within a specified boundary. A feedback response, specifying a target location, is received from the service instance in response to determining that the service instance cannot access the data because the data is associated with a different data storage boundary. A dynamic dispatch rule specifying the identity and the target location is generated and a subsequent request specifying the identity is processed by executing this dynamic dispatch rule to dispatch the subsequent request directly to a service instance associated with the target location.

  • Patent number: 11606351
    Abstract: In an approach for authentication of a username, a processor maintains a mapping of usernames and realms. A processor receives a username and a time-based one-time password code (TOTP code) for the username based on an authentication application. A processor, upon receiving the TOTP code: determines a realm from the mapping based on the received username and the received TOTP; and requests an entry of a credential relating to the username in the realm. A processor, upon receiving of the requested credential, authenticates the username by determining that the received credential matches an expected credential for the realm.

  • Patent number: 11184444
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for reducing cookie traffic in browser communication is provided. The method sends, by a browser to a domain, a first request resulting in a returned cookie. The returned cookie includes a category tag. The method adds the returned cookie to a set of cookies for the browser. The category tag of the returned cookie is added to a related category tag in a browser tag list. The method sends, by the browser to a server of the domain, a second request resulting in a returned list of required category tags. The method sends a selected cookie with a category tag relating to at least one required category tag of the list of required category tags for the server. The selected cookie is selected from the set of cookies and the category tag for the selected cookie occurs within the browser tag list.
