20120297190 | USABLE SECURITY OF ONLINE PASSWORD MANAGEMENT WITH SENSOR-BASED AUTHENTICATION - A multi-party security protocol that incorporates biometric-based authentication and withstands attacks against any single party (e.g., mobile phone, cloud, or the user). The protocol involves the function split between mobile and cloud and the mechanisms to chain-hold the secrets. A key generation mechanisms binds secrets to a specific device or URL (uniform resource locator) by adding salt to a master credential. An inline CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) handling mechanism uses the same sensor modality as the authentication process, which not only improves the usability, but also facilitates the authentication process. This architecture further enhances existing overall system security (e.g., handling untrusted or compromised cloud service, phone being lost, impersonation, etc.) and also improves the usability by automatically handling the CAPTCHA. | 11-22-2012 |

The cloud-based solutions may be scalable and implemented in a fault-tolerant distributed system to support user-facing continuous sensing and processing services in the cloud-computing system. A system may monitor execution of data and shift workloads (i.e., balancing) in response to spatial and temporal load imbalances that occur in a continuous computing environment. A failure recovery protocol may be implemented that uses a checkpoint-based partial rollback recovery mechanism with selective re-execution, which may allow recovery of the continuous processing after an error while avoiding large amounts of downtime and re-execution. | 11-22-2012 |
20120311542 | DYNAMIC INTERFACE REDUCTION FOR SOFTWARE MODEL CHECKING - Architecture employs an iterative process that incrementally discovers inter-component interactions and explores local state spaces within each component. Thus, the architecture lazily constructs the behavior of the environment of a component in the target software system, and integrates the construction of the inter-component interactions with the model checking process itself, and hence, does not need to eagerly construct the interface process. Component-based state space reduction is applied during the exploration of the whole system. The architecture decomposes a target software system into a set of loosely coupled components where interactions between the components tend to be significantly simpler than interactions within each component. An iterative algorithm facilitates the component-based state space reduction, which is exponential, on the real large-scale software systems. | 12-06-2012 |

The graph nodes may store graph updates from ingest nodes, and then the ingest nodes may report graph update progresses in a progress table. A snapshot may be taken based on the progress table, and then graph-mining computation may be implemented. Tolerate failures and decaying may be supported and incremental expansion may be allowed to cope with increasing update rates and computation needs. | 06-04-2015 |
