A system, method, and computer program product are provided for peer-to-peer event ordering using a two part event identifier (402), In use, a peer-to-peer communication channel (306) is established by a first peer device (302) with a second peer device (304). A current event identifier is initialized at the first peer device (302), and the second peer device (304) initializes a different current event identifier at the second peer device (304). A plurality of events are communicated between the first peer device (302) and the second peer device (304), where the events (400) are each configurated to include an event identifier (402) that is the current event identifier of a sender of the event (400), and where the current event identifier includes two portions that are updated differently when sending and receiving events (400). Further, the events are ordered by the first peer device (302), using the event identifier (402) included with each of the events (400).

A universal serial bus (USB) disconnection switch system, method, and computer program product are provided. In use, it is determined that a USB port integrated with a computing device is in electrical communication with at least one hardware component of the computing device via a data bus. Additionally, it is determined that a first predefined condition of the computing device is satisfied. Further, a switch is controlled to disconnect the data bus from the at least one hardware component of the computing device, based on the determination that the USB port is in electrical communication with the at least one hardware component via the data bus and the determination that the first predefined condition of the computing device is satisfied.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for multi-layer encryption of an efficient broadcast message. In use, a message is identified that includes data to be broadcasted to a plurality of recipients as well as identifiers of the plurality of recipients. The message is encrypted using a first encryption process to form a first header portion and a first data portion. Additionally, the message with the first data portion is encrypted using a second encryption process to form a second header portion and a second data portion. Further, the first header portion is encrypted using a third encryption process to form a third header portion. A multi- layer efficient broadcast message is then formed for broadcasting the data to the plurality of recipients, the multi-layer efficient broadcast message including the second header portion, the third header portion, and the second data portion.

摘要:
An apparatus, computer program, and method are provided for securely broadcasting a message to a plurality of recipient devices. In operation, a message is identified, and the message is encrypted utilizing a first key. A message authentication code (MAC) is generated utilizing a second key that is mathematically coupled to the first key (that is utilized to encrypt the message). The encrypted message is caused to be broadcasted to a plurality of recipient devices, utilizing the MAC.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for end-to-end security of centrally accessible group membership information. In use, membership information defining a user group in a messaging system is accessed from a central server, where the membership information includes (1) at least one change to members of the user group, and (2) for each change of the at least one change, a digital signature of a user that made the change. Additionally, a verification process on the membership information is performed, including: for each change of the at least one change, verifying the digital signature of the user that made the change. Further, members of the user group are determined, as a result of the verification process, and at least one action is performed in association with the members of the user group.
