Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for selecting and generating a key to perform a cryptographic operation are described. The method includes receiving one or more inputs representing criteria for the key, the one or more inputs excluding an explicit identification of the key and one of the one or more inputs specifying the cryptographic operation; retrieving, from a memory device, information corresponding with the one or more inputs; selecting and generating the key based on the one or more inputs and the information; and performing the cryptographic operation using the key.

Abstract: Providing concurrent embedded application updates comprising a first computer processor for executing a first embedded application, the executing generating a first plurality of processing threads, the first computer processor coupled to a first storage location and a second storage location. The first computer processor configured to accept and process instructions from a host system, receive one or more notifications indicating that a second embedded application has been successfully loaded into one of the first storage location and the second storage location, terminate execution of the first plurality of processing threads in response to receiving the one or more notifications, and execute the second embedded application while continuing to accept instructions from the host system and without restarting in response to receiving the one or more notifications.
