20100274586AUTOMATICALLY ASSESSING DRUG INTERACTIONS WHILE PROTECTING PATIENT PRIVACY - A drug interaction utility can retrieve the patient's current medications from a medication information card on the smart card by interacting with an identity selector on the provider's computer. The identity selector can transmit the current medications to the drug interaction utility without disclosing any information about the current medications to the provider and without disclosing any information identifying tile patient to the drug interaction utility.10-28-2010

20100174780INTEGRATING PARTICIPANT PROFILE INFORMATION INTO REAL-TIME COLLABORATIONS - An online collaboration system can access data in one or more skills repositories to search for participants with indicated skills and automatically display participants' skill information during online collaborations. Searching for participants by skill allows individuals most likely to add value to a discussion to be identified and invited to an online collaboration. Displaying skill information can facilitate focused interaction leading to a more productive online collaboration.07-08-2010
20100175115MANAGEMENT OF CREDENTIALS USED BY SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS - An identity management (“IdM”) system can change the credentials at certain intervals. If credentials change, there is no way for an application that uses the credentials to know that the credentials have changed because the application dependency relationships are unknown. When service account credentials change, credentials are typically manually updated for each dependent application. Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter allow IdM systems to track application dependencies for service accounts. The IdM systems can detect when service account credentials change and automatically notify dependent applications of the new service account credentials.07-08-2010
20100175129METHOD FOR NOTIFICATION UPON EXPOSURE TO OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOURAL PATTERNS IN COLLABORATION - A system and method for protecting a user from offensive behavior in communications and notifying the user and/or an enforcement entity of the offensive behavior. The offensive content analysis system monitors communications between users for offensive behavior. The offensive content analysis system may measure the level of current offense in the communication and determine a historical offensive behavior pattern for the user. The offensive content analysis system may then determine if the offensive behavior, both current and historical, rises to a threshold behavior level. The offensive content analysis system may take notification action if the offensive behavior meets the threshold level.07-08-2010

20100004940Social Profile Assessment - An embodiment provides a computer implemented method for social profile assessment. The computer implemented method receives a request from a first user for an assessment, and sends questionnaires to a set of assessors for the first user. Upon receiving questionnaires from the set of assessors to form completed questionnaires, the computer implemented method generates an unadjusted social style assessment for the first user. Upon receiving a request from a second user for the social style assessment of the first user, the computer implemented method determines whether there are common assessors between the first user and the second user, and responsive to a determination that there are common assessors between the first user and the second user, generates an adjusted social style assessment for the first user, and returns the adjusted social style assessment for the first user to the second user.01-07-2010
20100023454Transaction Authorization - One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method for transaction authorization within a security service. The computer-implemented method intercepts a request by a security service, wherein a transaction identifier is cached to form a cached transaction identifier, and requests the requester to authenticate to form an authentication request. The computer-implemented method further determines whether the requester was authenticated, and responsive to a determination the requester was authenticated, receives authentication information, including an associated transaction identifier. The request is intercepted and the cached transaction identifier inserted. The computer-implemented method further determines whether the cached transaction identifier is equivalent to the authentication information, including an associated transaction identifier, and responsive to a determination that the cached transaction identifier is equivalent to authentication information, including an associated transaction identifier, passes the request to the application.01-28-2010
20110078759Method and System For Automating Security Policy Definition Based On Recorded Transactions - Following development of an application, the application is deployed in a pre-production environment. A user role plays against that application, typically by performing one or more operations as a particular user in a particular group. As the operator role plays, access logs are written, and these logs are then analyzed and consolidated into a set of commands that drive a policy generator. The policy generator creates an optimized security policy that it then deploys to one or more enforcement points. In this manner, the framework enables automated configuration and deployment of one or more security policies.03-31-2011

20110162046Providing Secure Dynamic Role Selection and Managing Privileged User Access From a Client Device - An approach is provided that receives a first role selection from a client device. Each of the roles includes various user accounts provisioned to access various software applications. An authentication challenge is retrieved. The authentication challenge is based upon the role selection that was received from the client device. The authentication challenge is transmitted to the client device. An authentication submission is received from the client device. This authentication submission is authenticated and, if the authentication is successful, then the client device access is granted access to software applications using the provisioned user accounts that were included in the role selection. In addition, audit data of usage of the software applications by the client device is recorded. The audit data includes identification of the provisioned user accounts used to access the software applications using the role selection.06-30-2011
