The computer-implemented method also includes generating metadata for the input data, where the metadata identifies characteristics of content included in the input data. The method further includes applying a cryptographic technique to the input data to generate output data, and outputting the output data and metadata in response to the request.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for preventing unauthorized transmission of data by a communication apparatus. An example computer-implemented method includes monitoring a data transmission request from an application being executed by the communication apparatus. The data transmission request is associated with transmission data. The method further includes securing the transmission data, where the securing includes identifying a content of a predetermined type in the transmission data, and generating secured transmission data.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for invoking a restricted access service through a RESTful interface are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include: measuring, by the processing device, an idle time that represents an amount of time that an application is idle; measuring, by the processing device, an execution time that represents an amount of time that the application takes to execute a RESTful application program interface request; calculating, by the processing device, an average time for the application, wherein the average time is based on the idle time and the execution time over a selectable interval; and responsive to determining that the average time does not exceed a first threshold, initiating, by the processing device, a new instance of the application.
