Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a plurality of token-based rules that facilitate access to a risk-sensitive resource. The apparatus may further store a first token that may indicate that a user is accessing a non-risk-sensitive resource. The apparatus may receive a second token that may indicate that the user is attempting to access the risk-sensitive resource. In response to receiving the second token, the apparatus may apply the token-based rule to make an access decision whereby the user's access to the non-risk-sensitive resource will be terminated. The apparatus may then communicate at least one token representing the access decision.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus may receive a first data token indicating a request for data associated with the resource, a subject token indicating that at least one form of authentication has been completed, and a network token indicating that at least one form of encryption has been performed. The apparatus may determine at least one token-based rule based at least in part upon the first data token, the subject token, and the network token. The apparatus may determine, based at least in part upon the at least one token-based rule, that a second data token representing the data should be generated. The apparatus may generate a message indicating the determination that the second data token should be generated and then transmit the message.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a plurality of token-based rules. A token-based rule may facilitate access to a resource. The apparatus may further store a plurality of tokens. The plurality of tokens may include a session token associated with access to the resource by a user. The apparatus may receive a first token indicating at least one of the detection of a face other than the user's and the detection of a voice other than the user's. The apparatus may determine, based at least in part upon at least one token-based rule from the plurality of token-based rules, that access to the resource should be terminated in response to receiving the first token and terminate the session token in response to the determination that access to the resource should be terminated.

Abstract:
Methods and systems consistent with certain aspects related to the present invention provide a process for aligning service containers in a system environment. In one aspect of the invention, the process may include receiving first event data from an application service container providing application services during runtime of a web service and receiving second event data from a system service container providing system services during runtime of the web service. The process may also dynamically align the system and application services such that a predetermined service level associated with the web service is met during runtime based on at least one of the first and second event data.
Abstract:
An integrated solar cell system applies energy created by a solar cell module. The integration system includes a solar cell module, a low-grade heat recovery means, and a process system. The low-grade heat recovery means recovers waste heat from the solar cell module and connects the solar cell module to the process system. The process system is powered at least partially by thermal energy derived from waste heat generated by the solar cell module.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a plurality of token-based rules that facilitate access to a resource, and a plurality of tokens indicating a user is using a device to request access to a resource over a network. The apparatus may receive a risk token indicating the risk associated with granting at least one of the user and the device access to the resource. The risk token may be computed from a set of tokens in the plurality of tokens. The apparatus may determine at least one token-based rule based at least in part upon the plurality of tokens and the risk token. The apparatus may then make an access decision based upon the at least one token-based rule, and communicate a decision token representing the access decision.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus may receive a hard token that identifies a device and a subject token indicating that a user is a high priority user. The subject token may include a user identifier associated with the high priority user. The apparatus may apply a token-based rule that facilitates packet prioritization in response to receiving the subject token. In response to applying the token-based rule, the apparatus may communicate a notification token to at least one network component. The notification token may include the user identifier associated with the high priority user, the device identifier associated with the device, and instructions to prioritize any packet communications associated with the user identifier or the device identifier. The apparatus may then communicate at least one token to facilitate the provisioning of a container to the device associated with the high priority user.
