If a user accepts an invitation, a relationship can be established between the user and an inviting entity. In at least some embodiments, the relationship can enable the user to perform various actions and/or access resources associated with the entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing web services from using sensitive data in customizing web pages for a user. In one embodiment, a protection system is implemented between the user and the web service. The protection system identifies past interactions of the user with the web service, identifies text in the past interactions between the user and the web service, and identifies subjects discussed in the text. The protection system then communicates with the user to determine which of the subjects are sensitive to the user, and deletes a history stored by the web service for the user that relates to the sensitive subjects.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for transmitting a media data stream and a thin client, and the method includes: a media channel is established between a first thin client and a second thin client, wherein a first media module is pre-configured in the first thin client and a second media module is pre-configured in the second thin client; and the media data stream is transmitted between the first media module pre-configured in the first thin client and the second media module pre-configured in the second thin client through the media channel. The present disclosure solves problems of network time delay and data distortion caused by a fact in the prior art that media data need to be transmitted between a thin client and a virtual desktop through using a protocol such as RDP so as to implement interaction of data between two thin clients, thus achieving technical effectives of improvement on the data transmission rate and accuracy of data.

Abstract: A method of providing an update to a user mobile communication device, wherein the update comprises at least one new credential for a user mobile communication device following a change of a domain name related to a service, the method comprising changing the domain name, changing a state of an at least one old credential for the user mobile communication device used at the service to transient, granting access to the service to the user mobile communication device in response to a request for access using the at least one transient credential, determining if the user mobile communication device is in an acceptable environment to update to the at least one new credential and, when the user mobile communication device is in an acceptable environment, updating the user mobile communication device to the at least one new credential.

Abstract: Custom policies are definable for use in a system that enforces policies. A user, for example, may author a policy using a policy language and transmit the system through an application programming interface call. The custom policies may specify conditions for computing environment attestations that are provided with requests to the system. When a custom policy applies to a request, the system may determine whether information in the attestation is sufficient for the request to be fulfilled.
