Abstract: A device is configured for dynamically obtaining updated hash values for certificate processing of endpoints from a dedicated and single server. The server's certificate is signed by a certificate authority that is the sole and root authority for the certificate processing on the device. When endpoints are connected to the device, the hash values are compared against computed hash values for the endpoints' certificates. Connections are deemed secure for the device when the computed hash values match the hash values provided by the server.

Abstract: Devices and methods for client application user experience tracking may include generating a user experience score based on tracked operation and user inputs to the client application. The user experience score is transmitted to an experience tracking service (e.g., remote computer server, locally executed application).

Abstract: Metadata history is collected for operations performed by an application as directed by a user. In a subsequent interaction by the user with the application, interaction metadata for the interaction is matched to a pattern in the metadata history. An operation identified in the pattern is processed as a background process and results from processing the operation are pre-staged in cache of the device being operated by the user. When the user requests the operation during the subsequent interaction with the application, the pre-staged results from the cache are provided to the user.
