Patent number: 11556498Abstract: In an approach to longevity management of social network data, a computer detects a posting of a social artifact by a first user of a social network. A computer stores the social artifact with associated identification information. A computer stores activity associated with the social artifact by one or more other users. A computer detects a status change in an account associated with the first user, wherein the status change indicates the first user is not active in the social network. In response to detecting the status change, a computer determines a second user from the one or more other users to which to transfer the social artifact based on the social artifact, the associated identification information, and the activity associated with the social artifact by the one or more other users. A computer transfers the social artifact to an account associated with the second user on the social network.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul R Bastide, Matthew E. Broomhall, Jason Flood, Liam S. Harpur

Patent number: 11283780Abstract: Collaboratively editing a document in a system of sharee clients includes creating a document change, generating a document token for encrypting the document change, encrypting the document change with the document token, making the encrypted document change available to the other sharee clients, and generating a plurality of copies of the sharee document token. Each sharee document token is encrypted with a respective sharee's public key. Each encrypted sharee document token is distributed to respective sharee clients. Each sharee client is configured to: decrypt a sharee document token using a respective private key, decrypt the encrypted document change using the share document token, and consolidate the document change into a document.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Crosbie, Jason Flood, Juan Galiana Lara, Javier Marcos de Prado

Patent number: 11228619Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for managing security threats to a distributed network. A set of events are aggregated from a plurality of event sources in the network for each of a set of security threats to the network. A magnitude of a characteristic of each of the set of security threats is determined. Each of the set of security threats is represented as a three dimensional graphical object in a three dimensional (3D) representation of the network according to the respective magnitude of the characteristic. A security action is taken based on the determined magnitude of one of the set of security threats.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: International Busuness Machines CorporationInventors: Russell Couturier, Jason Flood, Aidan Butler, Wayne F Tackabury, Patrick Hourigan
