Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating and using a multi-signature token for electronic message validation according to the one or more embodiments as described herein. Specifically, a multi-signature token may be generated that includes at least two digital signatures and information (e.g., user information). Each of the at least two digital signatures may be generated using a private key of at least two key pairs that are maintained on a plurality of keystores that have at least two different implementations (e.g., security protocols). If the at least two digital signatures are valid, the multi-signature token may be determined to be valid and the client request may optionally be performed. If at least one of the at least two digital signatures is invalid, the client request is optionally not performed.

The quality metadata defines one or more of quality of a data source, accuracy of a dataset, completeness of a dataset, freshness of a dataset, or relevance of a dataset. At least some of the metadata is based on results of operations along a data flow. Based on the metadata, the method includes creating one or more quality indexes for the datasets. The one or more quality indexes include a characterization of quality of two or more datasets.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable medium are provided for determining a wall loss measurement associated with corrosion and/or erosion present within an insulated pipe. A inspection image is acquired for a pipe wall of an insulated pipe at a first location and used to determine an inspection thickness of the pipe wall at the first location. An amount of wall loss measurement can be determined based on a difference of a nominal thickness for the pipe wall at the first location and the determined inspection thickness. The wall loss measurement can characterize an amount of wall material lost due to corrosion and/or erosion present in the pipe wall at the first location. The wall loss measurement can be output for further processing and/or display.
