Abstract: The method provides for one or more processors to disperse object data for storage within a fifth-generation radio access network (RAN). The one or more processors receive radio frequency (RF) input for object data storage from a client device. The one or more processors perform a setup session configuring the RF input received for object data storage. The one or more processors perform a translation of the received RF input, wherein the translation enables processing of the RF input by an information dispersal algorithm (IDA) and enables storage of the object data of the RF input among multiple next generation node base stations (gNBs) forming a gNB cluster within a radio access network (RAN), and the one or more processors storing the object data of the received RF input across the gNB cluster in an Object Segment format.

Abstract: A method includes: identifying, by a first program module, a bucket having an object lifecycle management rule in a dispersed storage network; creating, by a second program module, ranges of object names included in a namespace of the bucket; determining, by a third program module and for respective objects in each of the ranges, whether the respective objects satisfy the object lifecycle management rule of the bucket; and performing, by a fourth program module and based on the determining, an action on one of the respective objects that satisfies the object lifecycle management rule, the action being defined by the object lifecycle management rule.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product manage a medical treatment of a care recipient. The method includes obtaining a treatment record for the care recipient from a server. The method also includes capturing real-time biometric data of the care recipient using a plurality of sensors. The method further includes determining a severity level of the adverse event by comparing the real-time biometric data with the treatment record in response to detecting an adverse event in the real-time biometric data. In addition, the method includes generating a recommendation for an alternative treatment in response to the severity level being above a threshold. Lastly, the method includes transmitting a notification comprising the recommendation to a treatment provider.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, input defining a custom storage class in a first dispersed storage network; receiving, by the computing device, input defining a data management rule in the first dispersed storage network; determining, by the computing device, a data object in the first dispersed storage network satisfies the data management rule; and moving, by the computing device and in response to the determining, the data object to a second dispersed storage network according to the custom storage class.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enforcing durability of second level encryption keys by a key management system (KMS) are provided. In embodiment, a method includes: receiving a first request to encrypt a first level key, the request including the first level key and a second level key identification associated with a stored encrypted second level key; determining that a durability check of the encrypted second level key is required based on the request; determining a durability status of the encrypted second level key by comparing actual storage of the encrypted second level key in one or more storage locations with predetermined storage rules for a durability level of the encrypted second level key, wherein the durability status indicates that the storage of the encrypted second level key complies with the durability level; and sending a notification regarding the durability status to the data storage service.

Abstract: A method for execution by a computing device includes determining a set of actor parties required to authorize a change of protection status of a stored resource from a protected status to an unprotected status. A minimum quorum is determined for each of the set of actor parties. A plurality of authorizations to change the protection status of the resource to the unprotected status are received from a plurality of requestors via the network. A plurality of subsets of the plurality of requestors corresponding to the set of actor parties are identified. The protection status of the resource is set to the unprotected status in response to determining, for every one of the set of actor parties, that a number of requestors in a corresponding one of the plurality of subsets is greater than or equal to the minimum quorum for the one of the set of actor parties.
