  • Patent number: 10133780
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for determining availability of presentable content are disclosed. According to one aspect, an identification of first presentable content is received during presentation of the first presentable content in a first content format. Further, a request for second presentable content corresponding to the first presentable content is transmitted, the request including information identifying the first presentable content. Further, in response to the request, results from a search are received. The results including an identification of second presentable content available in a second content format, wherein the search is based on the information associated with the first presentable content included in the request.

  • Patent number: 9208321
    Abstract: A countermeasure for a computer security threat to a computer system is administered by establishing a baseline identification of an operating or application system type and an operating or application system release level for the computer system that is compatible with a Threat Management Vector (TMV). A TMV is then received, including therein a first field that provides identification of at least one operating system type that is affected by a computer security threat, a second field that provides identification of an operating system release level for the operating system type, and a third field that provides identification of a set of possible countermeasures for an operating system type and an operating system release level. Countermeasures that are identified in the TMV are processed if the TMV identifies the operating system type and operating system release level for the computer system as being affected by the computer security threat.

  • Patent number: 8191114
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for determining an originator of a network packet using biometric information are disclosed. A network packet is received from a network device. A header or a trailer of the network packet is analyzed to determine whether the header or trailer includes an identifier of biometric identification information of a network user. The network packet is identified as having originated from the network user if the header or trailer includes the identifier of biometric identification information of the network user. Identifying the network packet as having originated from the network user does not require reading a payload of the packet.
