Abstract: Detecting behavioral deviations in members of a cohort group is provided. Ocular metadata is analyzed to identify patterns in changes in a size of a pupil of an eye of a member of the cohort group captured by a set of cameras. The ocular metadata describes the changes in the size of the pupil. The patterns in the changes in the size of the pupil include a rate of changes in the size of the pupil, a degree of change in the size of the pupil, and a number of changes in the size of the pupil. The patterns in the changes in the size of the pupil indicate any external stimuli associated with the changes in the size of the pupil. In responsive to the changes in the size of the pupil indicating behavioral deviations in the member, the member is identified as a person of interest.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for prefetching data tracks and parity data to use for destaging updated tracks. A write request is received including at least one updated track to the group of tracks. The at least one updated track is stored in a first cache device. A prefetch request is sent to the at least one sequential access storage device to prefetch tracks in the group of tracks to a second cache device. A read request is generated to read the prefetch tracks following the sending of the prefetch request. The read prefetch tracks returned to the read request from the second cache device are stored in the first cache device. New parity data is calculated from the at least one updated track and the read prefetch tracks.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for protecting storage fabrics from an errant device causing a single point of failure. The mechanism identities a source of the out-of-context traffic, isolates the TAG to prevent further catastrophe, and ensures that device isolation control operations are processed timely allowing device isolation and removing the source of the issue. Should device isolation not solve the issue, the mechanism allows the host to use a binary search method to isolate the device that may be hiding its true identity and sourcing possibly malicious traffic.

Abstract: Instructions within a processor are managed by receiving, at a recovery unit of the processor, an instruction that modifies a control register residing within the recovery unit.

A second set of data associated with the instruction is retrieved from the control register by the recovery unit. The recovery unit performs at least one binary logic operation on the first set of data and the second data.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, method, and data structure for using variable length code tables to compress an input data stream to a compressed output data stream. If a number of consecutive data units in the input data stream match the number of consecutive data units in a history buffer of previously received data units in the input data stream, a copy pointer symbol is generated indicating the copy pointer symbol referencing previously received data units in the history buffer and indicating a location of a start of the consecutive data units in the history buffer. A determination is made from a variable length code table of an encoding of the number. Indication is made in the generated copy pointer symbol the determined encoding of the number and the copy pointer symbol is outputted in the compressed output data stream.

Abstract: Data security devices are provided which store user data and interact with terminal devices to provide information about the stored user data. Security device has memory for storing user data, an interface for transmission of data communications connectable to a data communications network, and a controller. The controller processes a request from the terminal device for information about said user data by first generating a message. The message is generated to permit verification, using secret data, that the message was generated by the controller. The controller sends the message to the terminal device for communication to a publication entity for publication of the message. The controller then receives from the terminal device a cryptographic construction. The controller checks validity of the cryptographic construction for said message, and subsequent supply of the information requested about the user data to the terminal device is then dependent on said cryptographic construction.
