Abstract: A user may print a smart card on-demand by leveraging an Extended Reality (XR) interface to enter card specifications and supply them to a card issuer as an encrypted payload. The card issuer may send the user a non-fungible token (NFT) with instructions for rendering and 3D printing the card using the user's XR interface. The printed card may have an interior layer that includes a pattern of micro electromechanical sensor (MEMS) tactile sensors that uniquely identify the card. The sensors may be placed in selected locations based on a predefined grid pattern of potential sensor locations. The 3D printer may add a non-programmed smart chip to the card. The 3D printer may be a user's printer, or may be a 3D printer at an automated teller machine (ATM). An ATM may be configured to validate and activate the card after detecting the MEMS pattern and programming the smart chip.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for management of access to data by maintaining the lineage of access metadata as data is queried, processed, and stored in a computing environment. Data stored within a computing environment may be tagged or otherwise associated with metadata representing an access categorization of the data. When the data is used to create new data sets, the access categorizations of the base data are retained, and metadata representing an access categorization of the created data sets is generated based on the access categorizations of the base data. The created data may be stored in a location according to the access categorization.

Abstract: Domain-based server-selection computer-implemented processes and machines implement an extension of RAFT consensus for leader selection based on patterns of update data proximity. Accounts involved in payment or other transactions are maintained as “sharded” data across data store instances that are split into shards according to their temporal activity. If the domain attributes for a node exceed a threshold and are greater than the other nodes, the node is designated as a leader node and the others are designated as follower nodes. This provides an additional optimization in network performance by introducing insights in normal operations within a domain in a distributed network. If the domain attributes do not exceed the threshold and/or are not greater than the other nodes, a traditional consensus algorithm is used to select leader and follower nodes.

Abstract: A file-level snapshot access service provides direct access to individual files included in a snapshot for virtual volume of a block-storage service without requiring a volume to be re-created from the snapshot, attached to a computing device, or mounted in a file system. For example, a user/client may directly retrieve individual files from specified snapshots via a user interface/API of the file-level snapshot access service. Additionally, the file-level snapshot access service is configured to provide a listing of files included in a given snapshot. In some embodiments, a file-level snapshot access service may provide direct access to individual files included in snapshots generated for other types of storage systems, such as an object-based storage system.
