Patent number: 9674203Abstract: An approach for authentication is provided. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, an account attempting to access content. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, a file including at least authentication information. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, a location of the authentication information within the identified file. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, a length of the authentication information. The approach performs identifying, by one or more computer processors, the authentication information in the identified file based at least on the identified location and the identified length of the authentication information.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Galina Grunin, David E.

Publication number: 20170134363Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for authenticating user access to a computing system using dynamic tokens are provided. A login request from a client is received, and in response, a token request from the client is issued. The token request identifies one or more sequence positions. One or more client tokens generated by the client are received based on the one or more sequence positions of the tokens. A sequence of tokens based on a first seed and a first algorithm are generated. The login request is authenticated by comparing the one or more client tokens with the sequence of tokens, based at least in part, on the one or more sequence positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2015Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Galina Grunin, David E. Nachman, Nader M. Nassar, Tamer M. Nassar

Patent number: 9264393Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system, and program product for managing the flow of electronic mail. A computing device receives from a sender a first electronic mail addressed to first and second recipients in a serial propagation mode, and in response, the computing device transmits the first electronic mail en route to the first but not the second recipient. A computing device receives a second electronic mail from the first recipient as a response to the first electronic mail, and in response, a computing device transmits the first electronic email to the second recipient.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Galina Grunin, David E. Nachman, Nader M. Nassar, Tamer M. Nassar

Publication number: 20150284921Abstract: In a vehicle skid recovery system skid recovery can be accelerated when an automotive vehicle begins to skid as a result of ice accumulation on the road surface. The system can control operation of ice removers (e.g., blades or heaters), which are mounted within the wheel wells forward of the wheel, based on information received from the vehicle's outside temperature sensor and anti-lock braking system (ABS). When the temperature sensor indicates that the outside temperature is below a predetermined temperature and when the anti-lock braking system is activated as a result of detected skid, a controller activates the ice remover in one or more of the wheel wells and, thereby cause the ice remover to remove ice from the road surface forward of the corresponding wheel. Clearing the ice allows the vehicle's tires to gain traction on the road surface and, thereby stops the skid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Gabriel P. Borges, Scott R. Crowther, Abraham G. Guerra, Grant D. Miller, Nader M. Nassar, Tamer M. Nassar

Publication number: 20150206236Abstract: In a hierarchical multiple-node supply chain, a commodity is sold a first time at a first end of the supply chain and is resold multiple times across the supply chain before being sold a final time at a second end of the supply chain opposite the first end. A user who is a buyer and/or a seller within the supply chain is interacted with by exchanging text messages with a mobile phone device of the user to provide the user with a current price of the commodity for a type of the user within the supply chain, and to receive from the user an actual price of the commodity in a current transaction in which the user was involved. The type of the user includes a node within the supply chain to which the user corresponds.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2014Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frank Richard Bauerle, Grant Douglas Miller, Nader M. Nassar, Tamer M. Nassar, Irene Robin Penney

Publication number: 20150039361Abstract: Techniques that leverage social media to proactively respond to inclement weather conditions such as snow that affect road conditions and, for example, coordinate snow removal from the roads are provided. In one aspect, a method for sharing road condition information is provided. The method includes the following steps. Data is collected from vehicles related to road conditions at various locations. The data is stored in an off-vehicle system. The data is processed to determine what type of maintenance activity is needed based on the road conditions. The maintenance activity and the locations are provided to dispatchers to enable routing of municipal vehicles to the locations to address the road conditions. A system for sharing road conditions is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2013Publication date: February 5, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott R.

Publication number: 20150020176Abstract: Techniques for advanced login security using personalized, user-specific urls are provided. In one aspect, a method for authenticating a user is provided. The method includes the following steps. A personalized login url and credentials (e.g., username and password) are stored for the user. Upon receipt of a login url from the user, it is verified whether the login url matches the personalized url stored for the user. If the login url matches the personalized url for the user, then the user is provided with a user-specific login page where the user can enter credentials, otherwise access is denied. The user is authenticated only if the credentials the user enters match the credentials stored for the user, otherwise denying access.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2013Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Galina Grunin, David E.
