Abstract: A user device initiates a network access authentication operation via a network access device with a network access authentication server, e.g., a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server, which also generates an X.509 proxy certificate and includes the proxy certificate with the information, such as a set of network access parameters, that is returned to the user device in response to a successful completion of the network access authentication operation. The user device extracts and stores the proxy certificate. The network access parameters are used by the user device to communicate via the network access device on a network, which supports a grid. When the user device accesses a resource in the grid, the proxy certificate is already available, thereby obviating the need to generate a new proxy certificate and allowing a user of the user device to experience an integrated single-sign-on for network access and grid access.

The grid command directive may include a grid service field containing a grid service specifier, and a host name field containing a locatable name or address of a processing or grid lookup resource. The grid command directive further includes a command field containing a grid resource lookup command. The command path searching includes sequentially processing the at least one local path and the grid command directive until an execution resource associated with the command is located.

Abstract: A method, system and telephone answering device for processing control scripts attached to voice messages provides a mechanism by which a caller can leave an interactive list of contact information. The scripts provide for control of a display and input responses from a keypad or other input device so that an entry on the contact information list can be activated in response to user input, thus returning the call. The list information displayed may be arbitrary textual associations with the underlying contact number. The contact information may also include e-mail addresses, so that activation of an e-mail list element will activate a text messaging service, if available. For wireless telephone devices, the method implementing the present invention may be operable at the service provider only, so that standard wireless telephones may be programmed to provide the interactive list from a provider-side interpretation of the scripts.

Abstract: Protecting data files from being stolen or compromised in a data processing operation having stored data in a plurality of data files by receiving user requests for access to data files, determining whether said requests are unauthorized intrusions into the requested data files and, responsive to a determination that a request is an unauthorized intrusion, changing the identification of the requested data files by renaming the files. Preferably, the rename should be one which does not identify the contents of the file, i.e. the rename disguises the file contents. Then, it is also desirable that the renamed file be moved to a new “hidden” directory. In such a case, the renamed file is also assigned a covert name which indicates a covert location in the new directory. Then, there is provided a log referencing each renamed file to the covert name of the respective file so as to indicate the covert location of said file in said new directory.

Abstract: A Migration Thin Virtual File System (“MTVLS”) conducts file migration using a thin virtual layer that is size selectable and provides an uninterruptible migration path from the old file system to the new file system without an increase in the time to receive data. The MTVLS selects a file from the source file system, opens a corresponding file in the target system, mounts the thin virtual layer over the source file and the target file, and migrates that data from the source file to the target file.

A selection of a meeting entry on a calendar for cancellation is received and a cancellation notification is sent to all invitees of the meeting. The meeting entry is marked as cancelled on each calendar of each invitee. Upon receiving a confirmation of the cancellation notification from an invitee, a percentage of cancellation confirmations received is calculated and the meeting entry is marked with the percentage of cancellation confirmations received.

Abstract: Replay attacks in an encrypted file system are prevented by generating a session key and providing the session key to one or more drive managers and an encrypted file system process. When a drive request is received by the encrypted file system process the drive request is encrypted using the generated session key. The encrypted drive request is sent to a drive manager. The drive manager attempts to decrypt the drive request using the session key. If the encrypted drive request is successfully decrypted, then the drive manager performs the requested operation. On the other hand, if the request is not decrypted successfully, then the request is not performed by the drive manager. Drive managers can include both disk device drivers and a logical volume managers.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for monitoring system events and providing real-time response to security threats. System data is collected by monitors in the computing system. The expert system of the present invention compares the data against information in a knowledge base to identify a security threat to a system resource in a form of a system event and an action for mitigating effects of the system event. A determination is made as to whether a threat risk value of the system event is greater than an action risk value of the action for mitigating the system event. If the threat risk value is greater, a determination is made as to whether a trust value set by a user is greater than the action risk value. If the trust value is greater, the expert system executes the action against the security threat.
