  • Publication number: 20160292414
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic domain-based isolation are described. An apparatus may comprise a domain name component operative to receive a domain name request for a uniform resource locator, the domain name component operative to resolve the domain name request 105 on a wildcard entry in a domain name table, a receiving component operative to receive a request for a web application at the uniform resource locator, the uniform resource locator having been dynamically assigned to the web application, and an application identification component operative to determine which hosted web application of a plurality of hosted web applications corresponds to the requested web application on the basis of the uniform resource locator. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20100199357
    Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for increasing security in execution environments. A system is described for handling DLL calls made from untrusted code. An execution environment instantiates a lower trust process when a high trust process determines a need to call untrusted code. When the untrusted code calls a method in an original DLL, the execution environment loads a shim DLL into the lower trust process. The shim DLL has a clone of the method from the original DLL. A method for increasing security when processing calls from untrusted code is described. A shim DLL is created from an original DLL, and is deployed so an execution environment will load the shim DLL instead of the original DLL. When an execution environment receives a call from a caller DLL to the original DLL, the call is routed through the shim DLL. A pluggable validation system is also described.

  • Patent number: 6353800
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method, signal, system, and software for use in a system including a host device and at least one battery powered cursor control device. The status of the battery in the device is estimated by evaluating the periods of inactivity in the cursor and/or the cursor control device and by evaluating the movement of the cursor and/or the cursor control device across a display to determine unusual behavior. Upon unusual behavior determination, the battery's status is then communicated to the user via the host device. The entire method can be implemented without consuming any device battery power except the power consumed during normal device operation.
