  • Attestation of computing platforms
    Patent number: 8555072
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for attesting the configuration of a computing platform to a verifier. A signature key (SK) is bound to the platform and bound to a defined configuration of the platform. A credential (C(SK), CDAA(SK)) for the signature key (SK) is obtained from an evaluator. This credential (C(SK), CDAA(SK)) certifies that the signature key (SK) is bound to an unspecified trusted platform configuration. The platform can then demonstrate to the verifier the ability to sign a challenge from the verifier using the signature key (SK), and demonstrate possession of the credential (C(SK), CDAA(SK)) to the verifier, thereby attesting that the platform has a trusted configuration without disclosing the platform configuration to the verifier.

  • Graphical analysis to detect process object anomalies
    Patent number: 7926026
    Abstract: A method and system for graphical analysis to detect anomalies in process objects. The method generates a graph to represent a set of process objects, applies a clustering algorithm to cluster like nodes of the graph, compares the clusters to the process objects, and, if the objects match the clusters, accepts the objects for further review or for use in applications. If one or more of the objects do not match the clusters, such suggests that there are anomalies in the process objects requiring correction. An example implementation may be to detect anomalies in the design of the process objects.

  • Metrics to evaluate process objects
    Patent number: 7797136
    Abstract: A method and system to evaluate process objects for acceptability for use. New metrics that measure both object components and their relationships are used. The method selects metrics for the process objects that measure both the components and their relationships, compares measurements of the selected metrics with corresponding metric norms, and, based on the comparison, determines whether the process objects are acceptable. The system includes a memory to store metrics and process objects and a processor to select applicable metrics for the process objects, calculate the measurements of the selected metrics, compare the measurements to corresponding metric norms, and, based on the comparison, determine whether the process objects are acceptable.

  • Coordinated quiesce of a distributed file system
    Patent number: 7523204
    Abstract: A process for quiescing a master (master) and a plurality of subordinate computer systems (subordinates) in a cluster. An original or a pending state may be entered that is a quiesce or an online state. The master instructs the subordinates the quiesce or online state be made the pending state. The subordinates prepare to change accordingly, determine whether successful, and vote to commit or abort. Based on whether all voted to commit, the master instructs the subordinates to either commit or abort. If to commit and the pending state is the quiesce state, an operation is performed in the subordinates. If to commit and the pending state is the online state, the subordinates prepare to resume the original state. The subordinates change from the original to the pending state. Otherwise, if to abort, the subordinates prepare to remain in the original state and reset the pending to the original state.

  • SYSTEM INTEGRATED FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
    Publication number: 20080162502
    Abstract: Flexible systems and methods are described that permit a development object to be tracked and moved through a development life cycle without the need to change hard-coded rules embedded in the development objects and tools themselves. An abstraction layer may be created that includes a status-action schema. The status-action schema may include action rules. Given the development status of a development object, an appropriate rule may be selected. The action rule may be applied to the development object to move the object to the next stage of the development life cycle. This may occur for more than one development objects and their associated development status(es). A configuration interface may be provided to aid in creating and updating the status-action schema.
