Abstract: A method may include, receiving, at a server device and from a requesting computing device associated with a requesting user, a request for a data item. The data item configured may be configured as a data structure and include an encrypted data payload; metadata identifying a source of the payload and when the data payload was captured; and a token identifying an owner of the data item and access rights to the data item. The method may include parsing he token to identify the owner of the data item; transmitting the request for the data item to a computing device associated with the owner; receiving a response from the computing device. The response may indicate the requesting user may access the data item, and in response, transmit a decryption key to the requesting computing device for the encrypted data payload. The method may include updating the token.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a crash-consistent clone of file(s) stored by a distributed file system are described herein. To generate the crash-consistent clone, a coordinator node may identify multiple nodes (e.g., at least a first node and a second node) of the distributed file system that are storing different portions of data of the file. The coordinator node may then send a first command to the multiple nodes to cause each of the multiple nodes to quiesce the file and clone the different portions of the data to generate the crash-consistent clone of the file. The coordinator node may then receive, from the multiple nodes, a status associated with generating the crash-consistent clone of the file. Based at least in part on the status, the coordinator node may send a second command to the multiple nodes to cause each of the multiple nodes to unquiesce the file.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing an automated data agent monitoring bot. A method includes receiving, by a processor of a computer, input from a user requesting monitoring of user data generation and access on an application or website. The processor analyzes terms of service of the application or website where the user data is used or generated, and programs a monitoring bot configured to monitor the user data based on the terms of service and the received input. The monitoring bot tracks third-party access to the user data based on the terms of service, notifies the user regarding the tracked third-party access, and provides options to the user to control or monetize the tracked access to the user data.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a sensor in a modular banking environment an identification a computing device associated with a user, the environment including a set of physical components associated with banking functionality; detecting a user physically entering the environment based on the receiving; receiving an input associated with a transaction request from the user via a virtual reality device in the modular banking environment; transmitting a command to the set of physical components based on the transaction request; configuring the set of physical components according to the command to facilitate the transaction; determining, based on the transaction request that a second user is needed to complete the transaction request; transmitting a connection request to a computing device of the second user to connect the second user with the first user; and based on the connection request being accepted, displaying a representation of the second user within the environment.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for data creation limits are described herein. In an example, a data creation limits system is adapted to receive data and split the data into a plurality of portions based on entity interests in each of the plurality of portions. The data creation limits system may be further adapted to generate respective tokens for each portion of the plurality of portions. The data creation limits system may be further adapted to assign an owner to a token of the respective tokens, the token corresponding to a portion of the plurality of portions and assigning the owner based on the owner having an entity interest in creation of the portion. The data creation limits system may be further adapted to generate a script, using the token, for access to the portion. The data creation limits system may be further adapted to save the portion including the token.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing a pseudonymous browsing mode. A method includes receiving, by a processor of a computer, input from a user requesting a level of anonymity for a session on an application or website, where the level of anonymity is between open browsing and completely incognito browsing. The processor programs an avatar configured to provide the level of anonymity to an identity of the user and data generated by the user based on the received input. The processor uses the avatar to control an amount of data shared by the user with the application or website to provide the level of anonymity to an identity of the user and data generated by the user.
