Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically deleting messages from a recipient's inbox. The disclosed systems and methods provide the ability for automatic actions to be taken on delivered messages based on a passage of time. This enables a sender of messages, email service provider and/or email platform to exert control over sent messages to limit the number and type of operations that may be performed on such messages. For example, operations such as saving, forwarding, printing, copying, or otherwise duplicating the message and/or message data can be prohibited and all together rendered impossible. The disclosed systems and methods enables the purging of messages and associated message data from a recipient's inbox at a certain specified time, after the passage of a pre-determined amount of time, or upon the detection of a specified event.

Abstract: Layer 7 protocol (non-HTTP) client applications are executed in the browser. The non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client application connects to a compute server that proxies layer 4 packets to the origin network that has the non-HTTP layer 7 protocol service. As an example, an SSH client (a non-HTTP layer 7 protocol) can execute in the browser and the TCP packets (layer 4 packets) are proxied by a compute server to the origin network that has the appropriate SSH server. The non-HTTP layer 7 protocol client application allows users to run commands or otherwise interact with the client as if they were using a native application (one that is not executed within the browser) without any client-side configuration or agent.

The method also includes performing, by an inner node of the enclave cluster, the operation on the data in response to invocation of the API by an outer node of the outer cluster.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for managing the deployment of application programming interfaces (APIs) within a hybrid cloud network architecture. APIs can be created for applications or services deployed to a hybrid cloud including public clouds and/or private clouds. The APIs are deployed to API gateways associated with each data center in the network. The network is conceptually divided into spaces, where each space corresponds to a set of API gateways deployed within designated geographical regions. The API gateways are mapped to the network locations for the API gateways by interacting with Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. API calls use the domain names as included in the DNS records to resolve the API call as being directed to a specific API gateway corresponding to the service for the API call.

A registration data controller is to: (i) determine a skip rate, (ii) assign the media device from the master frame into a first test cell based on a random value and the skip rate, (iii) select a first recruitment interface associated with the first test cell, and (iv) instruct the instrumented application to, in response to the instrumented application being executed for a first time after a threshold period of time since an initial execution of the instrumented application has elapsed, display the first recruitment interface.

Abstract: Appropriate management of transfer of data generated in real time from an area where handling of data is regulated to the outside is enabled. A storage computer manages transfer of data from a transfer source belonging to an environment where handling of data is regulated to an external transfer destination. Data to be transferred is sequential transfer data sequentially transferred to the outside when the data is not wholly present in the environment. The storage computer includes a memory storing information and CPU connected to the memory and capable of performing predetermined processing. Permissibility of transfer of the data to be transferred to a transfer destination is determined by the CPU based on: personal information included in a data source on which the data to be transferred is based; contents of processing performed on the data source; and an execution result of the processing on the data source.

Abstract: An encrypted information matching device 20 includes: a storage unit 240 in which representative information representing a group based on similarity in a characteristic and encrypted information to be matched belonging to the group are associated with each other and stored; an identification unit 231 which calculates a first similarity between the encrypted input information and the representative information stored in the unit 240, and which, based on the first similarity, identifies a group to be matched with the first input information; and a determination unit 232 which calculates a second similarity between the encrypted input information and the encrypted information to be matched that belongs to the group identified, in a state in which the input information and the information to be matched are encrypted, wherein the unit 232 determines the presence or absence of information to be matched which makes the calculated second similarity satisfy criteria.
