  • Patent number: 12225017
    Abstract: A method of creating secure endpoints on a network includes registering by a node using a random selection algorithm to choose which server to register to; receiving by the node a property set ID of a property set that the node is a member of; and authorizing by the node using the property set ID to look up its authorization details in the property set. A method of creating secure endpoints on a secure network having at least one community of interest, includes registering by a node using a random selection algorithm to choose which server to register to; receiving by the node a property set ID of a property set that the node is a member of; and authorizing by the node through an authorization server using the property set ID to look up its authorization details in the property set; wherein the node and the authorization server are a member of the at least one community of interest.

  • Patent number: 9965348
    Abstract: A computer optimizes the prospective generation of data used for analysis of a software problem. The computer generates data in accordance with data generation parameters and a software problem is analyzed with reference to the data so generated. The problem analysis produces a report that details specifics of the software problem, the data that was available for analysis, a flag to indicate success or failure of the analysis to identify a root cause, and information about whether the data supplied was insufficient, sufficient, or superfluous with respect to identifying a root cause of the software problem. The method then uses the analysis report to modify the data generation parameters, thereby iteratively optimizing the data that are generated for analysis of subsequent software problems.
