  • Patent number: 11954007
    Abstract: Tracking software usage through the following operations: calculating current digests of common libraries used by software programs and obtaining digital signatures of tracking information of the software programs comprising identifiers of their common libraries and the corresponding current digests; responses are returned to calls for the software programs in association with the corresponding tracking information and digital signatures. A corresponding method under the control of a client comprises receiving a response to a call for a software program in association with the corresponding tracking information and digital signature. The common libraries of the software program are tracked according to a verification of the digital signature and of the current digests against corresponding reference digests. Computer programs and computer program products for performing the methods are proposed. Moreover, corresponding server computing system, client computing system and computing infrastructure are proposed.

  • Patent number: 11768717
    Abstract: The system, method, and computer program product described herein provide ways to modify a user interface when a performance of the user interface degrades due to lack of resources including presenting the user interface to a user that includes a first element that requires an allocation of a first amount of resources of a server to perform a function, determining that a performance of the user interface has degraded below a threshold amount, in response to determining that the performance has degraded, identifying a second element that requires an allocation of a second amount of resources of the server to perform the function where the second amount of resources is smaller than the first amount of resources, and replacing the first element with the second element to reduce the required amount of resources that are allocated by the server to the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11689568
    Abstract: In several aspects of the present invention, a processor receives, from a rule-based intrusion detection system, an intercepted request sent by a hacker. A processor analyzes the intercepted request to determine, in part, a type of service and a type of hacker. A processor builds a first layer of a honeypot maze based on the analyzed intercepted request. A processor simulates the first layer of the honeypot maze to the hacker. A processor iteratively builds additional layers of the honeypot maze based on additional intercepted requests from the hacker.

  • Patent number: 11562096
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe selective discovery, management, and deletion of personal data. The method accesses a set of data on a networked resource. The data is formed of a plurality of data elements which are arranged in at least one data table. The method identifies one or more sensitive data elements within the set of data related to one or more individuals. The method determines a sensitivity level of the one or more sensitive data elements and generates a catalogue including at least one new data element representative of the one or more sensitive data elements and based on the sensitivity level of the one or more sensitive data elements. The method tags the one or more sensitive data elements within the catalogue based on the sensitivity level of the one or more sensitive data elements corresponding to the new data element.

  • Patent number: 11151308
    Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for processing an electronic document. The method may include retrieving an electronic document during a computing session maintained for a user of a computer system. The method may also include determining context information related to the computing session. The method may also include selecting at least one annotator from a set of annotators based on the context information, the at least one annotator comprising data describing a set of rules for annotating content of the electronic document. The method may also include associate the selected annotator with the electronic document, wherein the associating is specific to the user.

  • Patent number: 11079927
    Abstract: Information that describes one or more touch events performed on a touchscreen display to interact with a graphical user interface (GUI) of a software application is received. A touch event density map based on a frequency of touch events on the touchscreen display as a function of touch event position on the touchscreen display is generated. One or more portions of the touchscreen display that received the highest density of touch events are identified. At least one of: dimension of the one or more graphical elements of the GUI associated with the one or more identified portions of the touchscreen display, a dimension of a touchscreen display area that corresponds to the one or more graphical elements, and a position relative to the one or more graphical elements of the touchscreen display area are modified.

  • Patent number: 10972420
    Abstract: A processor may receive a delivered message. The processor, using natural language processing, may identify content of the delivered message. The processor may generate a first importance score for the delivered message based on the content of the delivered message. The processor may send a notification to at least one recipient of the delivered message as a reminder of the delivered message, in response to the first importance score fulfilling a predefined delivery condition. In some embodiments, a processor may receive a message. The processor may identify the content of the message using natural language processing. The processor may generate a first importance score for the message based on the content of the message. The processor may determine that a second message received is related to the message. The processor may update the first importance score.
