  • Patent number: 7900046
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for establishing mutual trust on a per-deployment basis between two software modules. For example, the first software module may be a Websphere (WS) Information Integrator (II) deployment instance, and the second software module may be a plugin instance. By executing for this deployment an initial handshake between the software modules, both modules identify themselves and exchange digital certificates received from a trusted certification authority and respective public keys. Subsequent communications for this deployment between the software modules proceed with each module encrypting its communications with the public key of the other module; thereby establishing mutual trust between the software modules for each deployment.

  • Patent number: 7761282
    Abstract: A method, information handling system, and computer program product to simulate conditions in a software module, by identifying, in the software module, whether a simulation environment has been activated, encountering a simulation point in the software module, the simulation point including one or more simulation parameters, and in response to identifying that the simulation environment has been activated and the simulation point has been encountered: invoking a simulation module, the invoking including passing the simulation parameters to the simulation module, comparing, at the simulation module, the simulation parameters with one or more active simulation entries, and returning a simulated condition from the simulation module to the software module in response to the comparing.

  • Publication number: 20090273562
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for enhancing the computer screen security. The gaze of a user on a screen is tracked. The locations of the screen other than the location of the gaze of the user are distorted. Information is displayed in an area on the screen (“content area”) at the location of the user's gaze. Upon receiving input (e.g., audio, touch, key sequences) from the user to tune the content area on the screen to display information, the received input is mapped to a command for tuning the content area on the screen to display the information. The content area is then reconfigured in accordance with the user's request. By allowing the content area to be customized by the user, the security is enhanced by allowing the user to control what information is to be kept private.

  • Publication number: 20090254615
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for allowing a particular invitee to a meeting to control the distribution of information about the particular invitee's posture with respect to the meeting that determines a plurality of invitees to the meeting from a meeting invitation, selects invitees to the meeting from the plurality of invitees to the meeting based on criteria in a meeting profile unique to the particular invitee, generates a message to the selected invitees disclosing the status of the particular invitee relative to the meeting, and provides the message to the selected invitees.
