| 20100042630 | SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTING CONTENT DATA OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK AND METHOD OF ARRANGING NODES FOR DISTRIBUTION OF DATA OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK - The invention is a system for distributing content data over a computer network and a method of arranging receiver nodes in a computer network such that the capacity of the server is effectively multiplied many times over, and may even be increased exponentially. The invention takes advantage of the excess capacity many receiver nodes possess, and uses them as repeaters. The distribution system includes nodes having databases which indicate their ancestors and descendants so that reconfiguration of the distribution network may be accomplished without burdening the system's primary sever. The invention includes a process for configuring a computer information distribution network having a primary server node and user nodes docked in a cascaded relationship, and reconfiguring the network in the event that a user node departs from it. The process includes the steps of providing a new user node (or connection requesting user node) with a connection address list of nodes within the network, having the new user node (or connection requesting user node) go to the node at the top of the connection address list, determine whether that node is still part of the distribution network, and connect thereto if it is, and if it is not, to go to the next node on the connection address list. When a user node departs from the distribution network, a propagation signal is transmitted to the nodes below it in the network, causing them to move up in the network in a predetermined order. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20090288149 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POOL-BASED IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION FOR SERVICE ACCESS WITHOUT USE OF STORED CREDENTIALS - A computer-implemented system and method for pool-based identity authentication for service access without use of stored credentials is disclosed. The method in an example embodiment includes providing provisioning information for storage in a provisioning repository; receiving a service request from a service consumer, the service request including requester identifying information; generating an authentication request to send to an authentication authority, the authentication request including requester identifying information; receiving validation of an authenticated service request from the authentication authority; and providing the requested service to the service consumer. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100169963 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ROTATE SECURITY ASSETS USED FOR SECURE COMMUNICATIONS - Systems and methods to rotate security assets used to for secure communications are disclosed. The system includes receiving a first certificate that includes a first subject name for the remote servers. The first certificate further includes a first public key. Next, the system receives a second certificate that includes the first subject name for the remote servers. The second certificate further includes a second public key that is different from the first public key. Next, the system stores the first and second certificates in a trust module. Next, the system receive a third certificate from a first server included in the plurality of remote servers. Next, the system identifies the first server is trusted. The identifying is based on the third certificate matching any one of the first certificate and the second certificate. Finally, the system establishes a secure communication session with the first server based on the identifying the first server is trusted. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20100088300 | RESOURCE TRACKING - Clients may subscribe to resources for the purpose of receiving notifications of changes in the resource (e.g., a file is added to a shared folder). Storing subscriptions within persistent storage provides data security in the event of a service failure, at the cost of high latency in accessing subscription data. An efficient method for tracking a resource is provided herein. A subscription service creates subscriptions and monitors resources for a client. Upon a subscribed resource change, a notification service stores a notification of the change into a queue associated with the client. Efficient resource tracking is achieved because notification and subscription data is stored in low latency soft memory. The notification service is configured to detect a failure in the notification service and/or subscription service. In the event a service fails, the client provides a recovery mechanism by resubscribing to resources the client is interested in. | 04-08-2010 |
