  • Publication number: 20180322168
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for asynchronous (async) querying are described. In embodiments, a system may convert a user-issued query into a distributed execution instruction set (DEIS), and issue the DEIS to data stores that may have various database structures. The system may obtain database objects from the data stores, and store a result set indicating the obtained database objects in a location specified by the user-issued query. The system may also provide mechanisms to allow users to view progress of their async query jobs and/or cancel ongoing async query jobs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20180324153
    Abstract: Client fingerprints can be used to detect and defend against malware and hacking into information systems more effectively than using IP addresses. A unique client fingerprint can be based on data found in the client's SSL client hello packet. SSL version, cipher suites, and other fields of the packet can be utilized, preferably utilizing individual field values in the order in which they appear in the packet. The ordered values are converted to decimal values, separated by delimiters, and concatenated to form an identifier string. The identifier string may be mapped, preferably by a hash function, to form the client fingerprint. The client fingerprint may be logged, and whitelists and blacklists may be formed using client fingerprints so formed.

  • Patent number: 10122661
    Abstract: An email messaging system is provided that includes a first email message server, a second email message server and a distributed database system that stores a blockchain. The first email message server receives an email message from a first user system, and records a selected component of the received email message into a block of the blockchain. The selected component of the email message is added to the blockchain after validation by other participants in the blockchain. When the second email message server receives the email message from the first email message server, the second email message server can determine whether a component from the received email message matches the selected component that is stored in the block of the blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20180316587
    Abstract: A method in an analysis tool for dynamically analyzing client-side performance during the rendering of web content is provided. The method comprises automatically capturing data while a client application executes executable code written in a scripting language to render a web page wherein the data identifies components that are created, the execution time for creating each component, the execution start time for each component, and the components that are initially visible when the web page is rendered by the client application. The method further comprises analyzing the captured data as the data is captured to determine a plurality of factors that include the scripting language cycle duration, the identification of redundant code executions, and the prioritization and ordering of code module execution. The method further comprises generating a metric using the factors that characterizes the performance of the client application during web page rendering and displaying the metric.

  • Patent number: 10114737
    Abstract: Computer implemented methods and systems are provided for computing code coverage in a system that includes a user system and a cloud-based computing platform. The user system includes a processing system, memory and an input system that receives input parameters specified by a user of the user system. The memory can store a source class filter module executable by the processing system. Upon being executed by the processing system, the source class filter module can, based on one or more of the input parameters, group and filter source class identifiers to generate a unique source class identifier array of filtered source class identifiers that correspond to a particular subset of source classes that targeted code coverage metrics are to be computed for during code coverage computations when testing an application.

  • Patent number: 10116660
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a security model for component-based web applications. Documents for a web-based application are received, with the application containing custom components and Application Programming Interface (API) components. A Document Object Model (DOM) is processed corresponding to the web-based application, with the components modeled in hierarchical form. Each API component is assigned to a system mode setting, where the system mode setting is configured to provide the API component access to all of the components in the application. One or more secure documents are generated for each custom component, with each secure document containing a key in accordance with the rules of capability security. Each custom component is then assigned to a user mode setting, where the user mode setting is configured to provide custom components access to other components in the application for which a key can be provided.

  • Patent number: 10116623
    Abstract: Token-based firewall functionality. A request is received for access to a resource from a remote user device, the request received by an application firewall. A token is associated with the request. The token and associated information are stored in an event correlator coupled with the application firewall. The token is associated with one or more subsequent actions by the resource in response to receiving the request. A response to the request including the token is generated. The response with the token is transmitted to the remote user device via the application firewall. The application firewall analyzes the response and determines an action to be taken on the response based on the token and the associated information.
