| 20090199122 | DESTINATION LIST ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPLICATION LAUNCHER - A computer application launcher can be displayed. In response to receiving a first user input associated with the launcher while a computer application indicated by the launcher is not running, a destination list can be displayed. The destination list can include one or more destinations indicating one or more items that can be performed by a computer application. In response to a second user input associated with the destination list and indicating selection of a destination on the destination list, the application can be launched and instructed to perform an item indicated by the selected destination. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090199133 | GENERATING A DESTINATION LIST UTILIZING USAGE DATA - Computer-readable media, computerized methods, and computer systems for generating a destination list from usage data captured at a data store and for rending destinations within a submenu area upon detecting a request from a user. Generating the destination list may involve selecting items from a listing of frequently used items, a listing of recently used items, or any other listing of items compiled internal to an operating system or provided by a target application. Typically, the items are selected according to configuration settings of the destination list. Rendering destinations within the submenu area may involve accessing the destination list by selecting a split button proximate to a presentation of an application launcher. Typically, the destination list references items managed by an application invoked by the application launcher. Destinations retrieved from the destination list are populated into the submenu area based on size characteristics thereof. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20100122219 | COMPUTER INPUT CONTROL FOR SPECIFYING SCOPE WITH EXPLICIT EXCLUSIONS - Methods and systems providing a user interface control allowing a user to specify a scope of items on a computer system or network is disclosed. Certain aspects provide an input control through which a user can specify an explicit scope, or range, of items, while also identifying explicit exclusions from the specified scope, thereby reducing ambiguity regarding identification of items included and items excluded from the scope. When a user explicitly selects an item for inclusion in the scope, the explicitly selected item is added to the scope definition, and all descendants of the explicitly selected item are implicitly selected for inclusion. When a user explicitly selects an item for exclusion from the scope, the explicitly selected item is added to the scope definition as an exclusion from an explicitly included item, and all descendants of the explicitly selected item are implicitly selected for exclusion. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20110219434 | PROVIDING SECURITY SERVICES WITHIN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the present invention allow for the provisioning of security services within a Cloud computing environment by third parties. Specifically, under the present invention, a Cloud provider will publish a set of potential security attributes (e.g., a list), which can be monitored, to the Cloud customer. The Cloud customer will designate/select one or more of those attributes that the Cloud customer wishes to have monitored for one or more Cloud resources that it is using. The Cloud provider will then provide to the Cloud customer a set of third party security service providers capable of monitoring the attributes the Cloud customer designated. The Cloud customer will then select one or more third party providers from the provided set, and the Cloud provider will associate the given Cloud resources with the respective third party providers. Once third party providers have been associated with Cloud resources, a secure relationship between the third party provider(s) and the Cloud providers will be established. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20090327700 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VIRTUALIZATION OF TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULES - A method, an apparatus, a system, and a computer program product is presented for virtualizing trusted platform modules within a data processing system. A virtual trusted platform module along with a virtual endorsement key is created within a physical trusted platform module within the data processing system using a platform signing key of the physical trusted platform module, thereby providing a transitive trust relationship between the virtual trusted platform module and the core root of trust for the trusted platform. The virtual trusted platform module can be uniquely associated with a partition in a partitionable runtime environment within the data processing system. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100070781 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BOOTSTRAPPING A TRUSTED SERVER HAVING REDUNDANT TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULES - Multiple trusted platform modules within a data processing system are used in a redundant manner that provides a reliable mechanism for securely storing secret data at rest that is used to bootstrap a system trusted platform module. A hypervisor requests each trusted platform module to encrypt a copy of the secret data, thereby generating multiple versions of encrypted secret data values, which are then stored within a non-volatile memory within the trusted platform. At some later point in time, the encrypted secret data values are retrieved, decrypted by the trusted platform module that performed the previous encryption, and then compared to each other. If any of the decrypted values do not match a quorum of values from the comparison operation, then a corresponding trusted platform module for a non-matching decrypted value is designated as defective because it has not been able to correctly decrypt a value that it previously encrypted. | 03-18-2010 |
