Abstract: A portion of a server response to a client request can be selectively validated according to some examples described herein. In one example, a system can receive a response from a server to an application programming interface (API) request transmitted by a client application. The response can include target data and other data. The system can determine that the target data is to be validated. In response to determining that the target data is to be validated, the system allow a validation process to be performed on the target data and prevent the validation process from being performed on the other data.

In one aspect, a method in a traffic monitor in a communications network comprises responsive to a notification that content is being delivered to a device from a content delivery network according to a data transfer policy, the notification including an indication of the data transfer policy, monitoring delivery of the content from the content delivery network to the device and, responsive to a detection that the delivery of the content violates the data transfer policy, performing a notification action.

Abstract: An overlay network is enhanced to provide traffic delivery using anycast and end user mapping. An anycast IP address is associated with sets of forwarding machines positioned in the overlay network. These locations correspond with IP addresses for zero rated billing traffic. In response to receipt at a forwarding machine of a packet, the machine issues an end user mapping request to the mapping mechanism. The mapping request has an IP address associated with the client from which the end user request originates. The mapping mechanism resolves the request and provides a response to the request. The response is an IP address associated with a set of server machines distinct from the forwarding machine. The forwarding machine encapsulates the packet and proxies the connection to the identified server. The server receives the connection, decapsulates the request, and processes the packet. The server machine responds to the requesting client directly.

Abstract: Techniques for privacy centric data security. A request to permit a data processor to access private data associated with a user is received at a cloud data privacy service. The request includes a request for a data access block relating to the private data, and a data filter describing one or more access parameters. The cloud privacy data service generates the first data access block, based on the private data and the data filter. The first data access block is transmitted from the cloud privacy service to a user device, which is configured to transmit the first data access block to the first data processor. The cloud data privacy service receives a request for the private data that includes the first data access block. The cloud data privacy service determines that the first data access block is valid, and grants the first data processor access to the private data.

The method may include causing display of an interface that enables a user to select one of multiple retention models for association with an electronic chat conversation, and receiving, via the selector interface, a selection of a particular retention model.

The method further includes storing a newly received message as part of the chat conversation, where the storing includes configuring a retention duration attribute for the message in accordance with the amount of time specified by the retention model. The method further includes erasing the message in accordance with the retention duration attribute.

Abstract: A framework for joint computation, caching, and request forwarding in data-centric computing-based networks comprises a virtual control plane, which operates on request counters for computations and data, and an actual plane, which handles computation requests, data requests, data objects and computation results in the physical network. A throughput optimal policy, implemented in the virtual plane, provides a basis for adaptive and distributed computation, caching, and request forwarding in the actual plane. The framework provides superior performance in terms of request satisfaction delay as compared with several baseline policies over multiple network topologies.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for dynamic computation in an information centric network (ICN) are described herein. An interest packet to perform a computation may be received at a first interface of an ICN node. The ICN node may then perform a lookup in a forwarding information base (FIB) to identify a second interface to forward the interest packet. The interest packet may be forwarded on the second interface. Upon receipt of a data packet on the second interface in response to the interest packet, the ICN node may update an entry in the FIB for the second interfaces with a processing payload included in the data packet. The ICN node may then transmit the data packet downstream towards the originator of the interest packet.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the download time of emails in an environment in which a server distributes emails to persons working in close proximity to each other. When these persons receive multi-recipient emails intended for several or all of these persons, the server distributing the emails delivers the multi-recipient emails to the first one of the persons who logged on to read his or her emails on his or her personal computer, for distribution to the other persons over a personal area network. This reduces the download time for the persons downloading their emails at a subsequent time.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to the adaptation of a real-time Web communication transmission profile, particularly the adaptation of throughput such as the video throughput of the real-time Web communication. A method is described for adapting a real-time Web communication transmission profile, including changing a transmission profile parameter of a real-time Web communication device on the basis of bandwidth-related data recovered during a real-time Web communication time period. Thus, the transmission profile can be adapted to the bandwidth of the real-time Web communication in progress, allowing a user to enjoy the best quality when the bandwidth allows and, conversely, to limit transmission errors when the bandwidth does not allow high throughput.

Abstract: A monitoring system that receives messages that are exchanged with the application server. Relationships between users are posited in response to the times at which the messages are received. A relationship between two users may be posited in response to receiving, at approximately the same time, two messages from the application server that are destined, respectively, for the two users. The near-simultaneous receipt of the two messages indicates that the two messages were sent from the server at approximately the same time, which, in turn, indicates that the two messages may correlate with one another. Further indication of a correlation between the messages, which may increase the level of confidence with which the relationship between the two users is posited, may be found by examining the respective sizes of the messages, which indicate the message types.
