Abstract: A data stream generated by a user operating a human-computer interface (HCI) is obfuscated, or “scrambled,” for keylogging prevention. Obfuscating the data stream generated by the user comprises, by a web browser, setting a hook for intercepting keypress events. Keypress events comprise user input events into the first HCI or virtual keypress events. Based on capturing a keypress event corresponding to a first keypress code that triggers the hook, the web browser scrambles the first keypress code to generate a second keypress code that differs from the first keypress code. Scrambling the first keypress code comprises changing, salting, or skipping the first keypress code to generate the second keypress code.

Abstract: An installation service has been created to facilitate secure installation of software on unmanaged devices. An organization will set up, with the service, an application to be installed on devices of users of the organization, each with a configuration specified by the administrator. The service associates each pairing of installer and configuration with a random or pseudo-random identifier. When the service receives a request with an identifier, the service will retrieve the installer assigned the identifier, embed an identifier of the configuration into the installer without invalidating authenticity of the installer, and deliver it to the requestor. After the installer is validated and run on a device, the installer will detect the configuration identifier, authenticate the configuration identifier, and request the configuration data from the service. In response, the service provides the configuration data, digitally signed, to the installer.

Abstract: Optimizing read operations to a storage device in a virtualized computing environment. A read system call is received by a virtual machine's (VM) operating system from an application running on the VM for data on a storage device. The VM is hosted by a hypervisor providing access to the storage device in a virtualized computing environment. A virtual file system (VFS) supported by the operating system is caused to call on a first para-virtualized file system (PVFS FE) supported by the operating system to execute the read operation. In response to determining by the PVS FE that the data to be read exists in a data cache of the PVFS FE, executing by the PVS FE the read operation from the cache of the PVFS FE.
