Abstract: The load level on a server system is regulated by determining time-to-live (TTL) values to provide to requesting devices that request a content resource from the server system, thereby affecting the frequency of subsequent requests. This dynamic determination of TTL values may provide resilience to system load, for example by using longer TTL values when the system is under greater load to reduce the rate at which subsequent requests are received. A dynamic TTL service may calculate a TTL value based on one or more factors, such as overall system load, resource load, hardware load, and/or software load.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for remote management of hardware security modules (HSMs) includes receiving a command request from a mobile device.

The HSM decrypts the encrypted key part and the encrypted signing key. Decrypting the encrypted key part and the encrypted signing key includes using the key associated with the security zone of the mobile device and a key associated with a remote administrator associated with the mobile device. A command is generated for a domain with a target HSM. The command is generated using the decrypted key part and the decrypted signing key. The command is transmitted to the domain for execution by the target HSM. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
