Abstract: A system, method, apparatus, and computer program product for a privacy ensured brokered identity federation system. The privacy ensured brokered identity federation system connects a user in a brokered identity federation environment that blinds relying parties (RP) from credential service providers (CSP), blinds CSPs from RPs, and blinds a user's identity and data from the federation middleware hubs. The system utilizes ring signatures to attest to CSPs that a valid RP of the federation is making a request. The process utilizes CSP ring signatures to assure RPs that a valid CSP of the federation has provided a response. The process utilizes per transaction encryption keys created by the RP to ensure the federation has no access to data messages. It can further ensure that only the correct RP can decrypt a CSP response.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to processing email having symbolic variables in the address. Aspects include receiving, by an email server, an email comprising an email address for an intended recipient and determining whether the email address includes a symbolic variable. Based on determining that the email address includes the symbolic variable, the symbolic variable from the email address are extracted, an email address for an additional recipient by querying a database based on the symbolic variable is identified, and the email is transmitted to the email address of the intended recipient and the email address of the additional recipient. Based on determining that the email address does not include the symbolic variable, the email is transmitted to the email address of the intended recipient.

Abstract: An attachment detection method and system. The method includes receiving, by a computer processor of a computing system, attachment data describing different devices associated with and attachable to an electro/mechanical apparatus. The computer processor retrieves first data describing a first attachment device currently attached to the electro/mechanical apparatus and analyzes the attachment data with respect to the first data. In response to the analysis, the computer processor determines specified protective gear required for operation of the electro/mechanical apparatus and the first attachment device. The computer processor generates indication data specifying required usage of the specified protective gear and presents the indication data to a user.
