Abstract: A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module storing a data portion in a dispersed storage network (DSN), where the data portion is associated with a set of data index keys, a version index key, and with a set of portion index keys. The method continues with the DS processing module traversing, based on the set of data index keys, a plurality of index structures to determine whether an object retrieval structure exists for the data portion. When the object retrieval structure exists, the method continues with the DS processing module updating the object retrieval structure by determining whether a version record exists that corresponds to the version index key and when the version record exists, creating, within the version record, a new data portion record for the data portion to include an identifier of the data portion and the set of portion index keys.

Abstract: A method for routing CAN or CAN-FD frames by receiving at least a portion of an incoming frame; applying a programmed policy to determine to which of one or more destination interfaces the incoming frame should be forwarded, at any time when the policy can be evaluated against the incoming frame, even if before the incoming frame is received in its entirety; and initiating queuing or immediate transmission of the received frame on the destination interfaces, possibly before the incoming frame has been received in its received entirety. The method may include applying a programmed policy to the incoming frame which includes a rate limit, specifying the rate at which the policy may forward frames. And may further include enacting a frame modification during the reception or transmission, with the modification further encoded within the programmed policy modification of the CAN frame as it is received or transmitted.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and broadcasting a dynamic identifier are presented. Based on the current context and rules established for accessing personal information, a dynamic identifier corresponding to a computer user is dynamically generated and provided to a computing device corresponding to the computer user. The computing device may broadcast the dynamic identifier to others. Upon receipt of a dynamic identifier, a party wishing to determine information regarding the broadcasting party must query an information service with the dynamic identifier. According to a set of rules and/or permissions established for the target computer user (broadcasting the dynamic identifier), accessible information is identified and returned to the requesting party. Additionally, a user is provided with the ability to edit, add to, and/or delete information that is stored by the identification service regarding the user on behalf of a submitting party.

Abstract: A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module dividing a very large data object into a plurality of data regions and generating a data object storage tracking table that includes sections for identifying one or more data regions that are available or unavailable for retrieval.

The method continues with the DS processing module sending DSN write requests regarding storing the sets of encoded data slices to storage units and when at least a write threshold number of write responses is received for each of the sets of encoded data slices, updating the data object storage tracking table to indicate that the first data region is available for retrieval.
