Abstract: A capability is provided for securely transferring a file within network-based storage. A capability is provided for securely transferring a user file of a user from a first server to a second server. The first server may be associated with a first service provider and the second server may be associated with a second service provider. The secure transfer of a user file from the first server to the second server may be performed based on a One-Click File Transfer capability in which only a single click by the user is needed in order for the user file to be transferred. The secure transfer of a user file from the first server to the second server may be performed based on a Zero-Click File Transfer capability in which the user file may be transferred without any interaction by the user.

Abstract: A first smart card in a first wireless communication device receives a first profile that indicates a subscription to provide wireless connectivity to a user. The first profile is a copy of at least a portion of a second profile previously established by the user and stored on a second smart card in a second wireless communication device. The first wireless communication device then establishes a first wireless connection with a network using the subscription indicated by the first profile.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing web services from using sensitive data in customizing web pages for a user. In one embodiment, a protection system is implemented between the user and the web service. The protection system identifies past interactions of the user with the web service, identifies text in the past interactions between the user and the web service, and identifies subjects discussed in the text. The protection system then communicates with the user to determine which of the subjects are sensitive to the user, and deletes a history stored by the web service for the user that relates to the sensitive subjects.

Abstract: A method and computer product are presented for identifying Internet worm propagation based upon changes in packet arrival rates at a network connection. First, unsolicited (i.e., packets that were not requested by the receiver) traffic is separated from solicited traffic at the network connection. The unsolicited traffic arrival patterns are monitored and analyzed for any changes. Once changes in the unsolicited traffic arrival patterns are detected, the changes are mathematically analyzed to detect growth trends. The presence of growth trends that follow certain key characteristics indicate whether the changes are due to worm propagation.

Abstract: A data deduplication capability is presented. The data deduplication capability enables deduplication of data of a set of files, where the set of files may include files stored in network-based data storage elements and, optionally, files stored in one or more client devices which may communicate with the network-based data storage elements. The data deduplication capability may use one or more data deduplication techniques within files (for intra-file redundancy) or across files (for inter-file redundancy) in order to reduce or even minimize storage cost associated with storage of the files or bandwidth cost associated with transfers of the files. The data deduplication capability may use one or more data deduplication techniques in conjunction with one or more data compression techniques in order to reduce or even minimize storage cost associated with storage of the files or bandwidth cost associated with transfers of the files.
