Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced security of media are provided. Media security may be enhanced by improving the setup of encryption and/or decryption, by improving the performance of encryption and/or decryption, or by improving both. The calls related to enhanced security of media from an application in an emulated environment to a security module in the operating system hosting the emulated environment may be combined to reduce the overhead of accessing a security module. An application handling secure shell (SSH) communications may execute multiple calls to a cryptographic module in the host operating system. Because many calls to the cryptographic module during SSH communications follow patterns, two or more related calls may be combined into a single combined call to the cryptographic module. For example, a call to generate a server-to-client key and a call to generate a client-to-server key may be combined into a single call.

Abstract: Application performance in cloud-based virtualized environments may be improved by migrating partitions executing within the cloud between servers. When an application spans multiple related partitions spread out on different servers within the cloud, related partitions may be migrated to the same server or nearby servers to reduce input/output (I/O) delay in communications between the related partitions. A method for improving performance may include analyzing a network traffic log to identify related partitions. Then, communications costs may be calculated for the related partitions and a partition selected for migration to a new location in the cloud.

Abstract: Hash values for a message may be computed by a receiving computer as portions of the message are received. In one embodiment, an intermediate hash value is computed for a portion of the message and a new intermediate hash value computed for each received portion of the message based on a previous intermediate hash value and the contents of the new received portion. When all portions of the message have been received, the final calculated intermediate hash value is the hash value for the entire message. In one embodiment, such a method of calculating a hash value may be based on the SHA-256 hash algorithm or other known or later developed hash algorithms. In one embodiment, the hash calculation for portions of received messages may be applied to keyed-hashing for message authentication (HMAC).

Abstract: A dynamic document template having static data, dynamic data, and/or procedural statements may be called by an application on a server. The dynamic document template is separate from the application program and is processed to form an interim script, which is then executed by a host computer system. The script generates document records in HTML or XML format that are output to a document. The data and procedural statements in the dynamic document template may be distinguished through interpreting mark-up language surrounding the data and procedural statements. The dynamic document templates execute in a separate namespace from the application and preserve the state of data in the application. A given application may call more than one dynamic document template to generate different portions of the output document. Additionally, the dynamic document templates may be replaced with new templates without affecting the application.
