Abstract: Techniques are described that can be used to enable a transfer of an operating system from one machine to another. The transfer permits the operating system to be available to the target machine at buffers that are accessible to one or more application or other logic. In some implementations, information related to an operating system migration is stored in a buffer that is accessible to an application that is to use the information and thereby avoids a copy of such information from an intermediate buffer to an application buffer.

Abstract: A proxy server receives from a client device a request to perform an action on an identified resource that is hosted at an origin server for a domain. The proxy server receives the request as a result of a DNS request for the domain resolving to the proxy server. The origin server is one of multiple origin servers that belong to different domains that resolve to the proxy server and are owned by different entities. The proxy server and the origin servers are owned by different entities. The proxy server analyzes the request to determine whether a visitor belonging to that request poses a threat. If the proxy server determines that the visitor poses a threat, the proxy server blocks the request and transmits a block page to the client device that indicates that the request has been blocked.

Abstract: Verifying the integrity of a received binary object by calculating a first displayable authenticator derived from an input binary object. The first authenticator is then attached to the input binary object, producing a first composite binary object, which is sent to a remote receiver. A second composite binary object is received back from the remote receiver, wherein the second composite binary object includes a received binary object, a received first displayable authenticator, and a second displayable authenticator. A third displayable authenticator is calculated, derived from the second composite binary object, then a display of the first displayable authenticator is compared to a display of the third displayable authenticator, and verification of the integrity of the received binary object is indicated by an exact match between displays of the first and third displayable authenticators.

Abstract: A computer system implements a peer-to-peer network that permits peer-to-peer data transfers with privacy with respect to the identities of requestor peers, provider peers and the requested data. The peer-to-peer network encrypts each communication among peers, and each message, whether a request or response, is transmitted through at least one intermediate peer. Each message received by any peer in the system appears the same to each peer in the sense that the message does not reveal how many intermediate peers have processed or will process the message. Further, a source of content is not revealed as a source; and a requestor of content is not revealed as a requestor.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of obfuscating communication traffic patterns occurring over a cloud-based communication infrastructure includes detecting first data communication sessions between a first communications device a second communications device via a first computer server using a network protocol. An information content threshold value associated with the first data communication sessions is accessed. A traffic pattern based on the first data communication sessions is also accessed, whereby the traffic pattern determines communication occurrences between the first and the second communication devices over a predefined time period. An information content value associated with the accessed traffic pattern is determined.

Abstract: A memory stores therein a first vector. A processor generates a first encrypted polynomial by encrypting a first polynomial that corresponds to a first binary vector obtained by performing a binary transformation on elements of the first vector. A transmitter transmits to a cryptographic operation device cryptographic information that represents the first encrypted polynomial. The cryptographic operation device multiplies the first encrypted polynomial by a second encrypted polynomial that is generated by encrypting a second polynomial that corresponds to a second binary vector obtained by performing a binary transformation on elements of a second vector, so as to generate a third encrypted polynomial. When assigning 2 to a variable in a prescribed portion of a third polynomial obtained by decrypting the third encrypted polynomial, a result of an operation of the first vector and the second vector is obtained.
