Abstract: An upper level protocol processing mechanism is employed with high performance offload processors to increase system performance while amortizing the cost of employing such processors. Such an upper level protocol processing mechanism can be employed to offload, for example, storage access protocols. An example system might have one or more clients and one or more servers each coupled to its respective storage. One or more front end processors is coupled between the clients and the servers. The clients access the storage coupled to the servers via a storage access protocol. In accordance with the invention, the storage access protocol is divided into a front end protocol portion and a back end protocol portion. The front end protocol portion is executed on the front end processors, while the back end protocol portion is executed on the servers. The back end protocol portion is transparent to the clients.

Abstract: An HTTP tunneling service is described for creating a tunneled path between a client and a server (e.g., over a firewall or other data/protocol filtering device). According to one embodiment of the invention the client sends the server an initial request to open a preliminary socket connection which includes a secure client ID previously assigned to the client. The server opens the preliminary socket connection, generates a random client ID and transmits the random client ID to the client. The preliminary socket connection is then closed. The client then sends a second request to open a second socket connection using both the unique ID and the secure client ID for authentication purposes.

Abstract: Social engineering attacks are simulated to a user, by performing the steps of the attacks without actually performing any malicious activity. Educational security information is displayed to the user, based on the user's response to simulated social engineering attacks. If the user responds to a simulated social engineering attack in a manner indicating that the user is vulnerable, educational security information can be displayed that educates the user as to how to avoid being victimized. One or more security settings for protecting the user's computer from malware can be adjusted, based on the user's response to the simulating of social engineering attacks. Additionally, other factors can be adjusted based on the user's response to the simulating of social engineering attacks, such as a security hygiene rating and/or a level of monitoring activity concerning the user.

Abstract: An identities collaboration system that comprises a Personal Service Provider (PSP) system for supplying specific user related personal service(s); means for assigning two different data files to each user opting-in to the PSP system, wherein one data file contains data representing the user identity at the PSP system and it assigned on a first domain, and the other data file(s) contains data representing the information regarding whether the user is opted-in, or another identity number that is related to the user identity at the PSP, and is assigned on a second domain. The data files are stored within the terminal of each of the opting-in users.

Abstract: A performance of a publisher server, a first content server, and a second content server is determined. Latency time information is determined based on the publisher server performance, the first content server performance, and the second content server performance, the latency time information representing a length of time to load content associated with each of the publisher server, the first content server, and the second content server.

Abstract: This security method for scrambled multimedia signal decoder comprises at least one rewritable lock (62, 64), the value of which can be toggled at least between a first and a second value in response to an EMM message, and in which a registration module is able, in response to one and the same EMM registration message for writing new access entitlements or new cryptographic keys, to authorize and, alternatively, to prohibit this registration depending on the value of the lock.

Abstract: A printing system is provided with a terminal sending print data; a printer performing printing based on the print data; and a transfer device transferring the print data to the printer responding to a request from the printer. The terminal includes a transmission portion configured to, when communication with the transfer device is possible, send the print data to the transfer device, and configured to, when the communication is impossible, send the print data in association with a command for authentication print to the printer without via the transfer device. The printer includes a requesting portion configured to, when user authentication of a user of the terminal is successful, request the print data from the transfer device, and a printing portion configured to, when the user authentication is successful, perform the printing based on the print data received from the transfer device or the terminal.

Abstract: Presenters are enabled to broadcast a document to remote viewers from one browser to another. While viewing a document in the web browser, a user can share the document out to remote viewers by providing them with a link that when selected, opens the document synchronously with the presenter in web browser. The viewers are enabled to consume the broadcast by watching the presenter go through the document in real time. The viewers may also be enabled to view the document asynchronously from the presenter and easily synchronize back with the presenter's view.
