Abstract: Technologies for performing a platform transformation on a computing device include transforming a transformable component of the computing device from a first hardware configuration in which a first set of hardware features is enabled to a second hardware configuration in which different hardware features are enabled. The computing device has a first capability when in the first configuration and a different capability when in the second configuration. In performing the platform transformation, the computing device determines a platform transformation build, establishes a communication connection with a cloud-based platform transformation service, and identifies and retrieves relevant platform definitions from the cloud-based platform transformation service. The platform definitions are used in effecting the desired platform transformation.

Abstract: Technologies for monitoring data storage location for cloud data include a cloud monitoring server configured to communicate with one or more cloud customer computing devices and cloud service providers. The cloud monitoring server receives monitoring requests from the cloud customer computing devices and retrieves provider information from the cloud service providers. The cloud monitoring server compiles response data based on the monitoring requests and the provider information, and sends response data to the cloud customer computing devices. Cloud customer computing devices may send on-demand monitoring requests and/or continuous, policy-based monitoring requests. For policy-based monitoring, the cloud monitoring server continually monitors the provider information and provides response data when one or more conditions specified in the policy are satisfied. The cloud monitoring server may also make recommendations and provide feedback based on the monitoring requests or the provider information.

Abstract: A method, device, and system for browser-based application security verification is disclosed. A client device requests a browser-based application from a web server. An application security module of the client device intervenes and transmits an application verification request to a cloud service system. The cloud service system retrieves data regarding the security of the application and source from cloud resources and a local database of the cloud server. The cloud service system then uses the data to authenticate the source and verify the security of the browser-based application. The cloud service system provides the client device with a recommendation regarding the security of the browser-based application and updates its local database. The client device may then consider the recommendation in determining whether to download or execute the browser-based application and provide feedback to the cloud service system.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes calculating a trust level of a first entity. The first entity has a plurality of components. Each component in the first entity has at least the trust level of the first entity.

Abstract: Machine-readable media, methods, apparatus and system for synchronizing between a decentralized computing system and a centralized computing system. In some embodiments, a decentralized record may be received from a computing platform, wherein the decentralized record may be created when the computing platform communicates in a decentralized pattern. Information may be detected from the decentralized record to provide detected information, wherein the detected information may reveal a decentralization characteristic of the decentralized record. Then, the decentralized record may be converted into a centralized record while hiding the detected information from the centralized record and the centralized record may be sent to a server.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a multi-tiered wireless resource control system monitors conditions at each of multiple tiers and controls resources at each of multiple tiers based on data collected during monitoring. The multiple tiers of the wireless resource control system include at least a local tier associated with a specific wireless device and a global tier associated with the wireless network.
