Described herein is a system for executing distributed transactions. A coordinator and one or more participants cooperate to execute a distributed transaction, the distributed transaction including for each participant a transaction executed by the participant. To manage the transaction, the coordinator and the participant communicate over a network using, for example, a stateless protocol. Before each participant commits the transaction, the participants determine that the coordinator has committed the transaction. The coordinator commits the transaction after receiving acknowledgment from all the participants that they will commit the transaction. To determine whether the coordinator has committed the transaction, a participant transmits a message to the coordinator to acknowledge that it will commit the distributed transaction. The participant commits its respective transaction if it receives an acknowledgement from the coordinator. For the particular transaction being executed by a participant, the participant prevents other transactions from modifying a data item affected by the particular transaction. The participant will prevent such modifications until termination criteria for the particular transaction is satisfied, in which case the participant terminates the transaction.

Mechanisms have been developed for securing computational systems against certain forms of attack. In particular, it has been discovered that, by maintaining and propagating taint status for memory locations in correspondence with information flows of instructions executed by a computing system, it is possible to provide a security response if and when a control transfer (or other restricted use) is attempted based on tainted data. In some embodiments, memory management facilities and related exception handlers can be exploited to facilitate taint status propagation and / or security responses. Taint tracking through registers of a processor (or through other storage for which access is not conveniently mediated using a memory management facility) may be provided using an instrumented execution mode of operation. For example, the instrumented mode may be triggered by an attempt to propagate tainted information to a register. In some embodiments, an instrumented mode of operation may be more generally employed. For example, data received from an untrusted source or via an untrusted path is often transferred into a memory buffer for processing by a particular service, routine, process, thread or other computational unit. Code that implements the computational unit may be selectively executed in an instrumented mode that facilitates taint tracking. In general, instrumented execution modes may be supported using a variety of techniques including a binary translation (or rewriting) mode, just-in-time (JIT) compilation / re-compilation, interpreted mode execution, etc. Using an instrumented execution mode and / or exception handler techniques, modifications to CPU hardware can be avoided if desirable.

Improved system and approaches for centralized storage of access restrictions which are associated with public keys are disclosed. The access restrictions serve to limit access to files secured by a security system. According to one aspect of the present invention, identifiers, or encoded versions thereof, are used as public keys to identify particular access restrictions. The identifiers to the access restrictions are used in a decentralized manner for public keys, while the access restrictions themselves are maintained in a centralized manner. As compared to the access restrictions, the public keys based on identifiers tend to be smaller and more uniform in size. The centralized storage of the access restrictions also facilitates subsequent changes to access restrictions for previously secured files. The improved system and approaches is particularly suitable in an enterprise environment.

An external jet nozzle mixer (20) includes identically formed lobes (48), equal in number those of the internal mixer (42). External mixer (20) works with internal mixer (42), further to mix the engine internal bypass flow with the internal jet engine core flow, to level the disparate exhaust flow velocities, to reduce the peak velocities from the jet engine core and increase the lower bypass velocities of the engine internal bypass flow, and thereby to reduce noise. The internal lobe contours act as lifting flutes, causing mixing of the primary hot and cold flows before exiting the nozzle. The external lobe contours act as venturi chutes, accelerating the cooler ambient air secondary flow. The lobes thus act collectively as an injector to force the cooler ambient secondary flow into the previously mixed primary flow as it exits the nozzle. Also obtained is an increased thrust efficiency and a consequently decreased fuel consumption and engine emissions.

Improved system and approaches for decentralized key generation are disclosed. The keys that can be generated include both public keys and private keys. The public keys are arbitrary strings that embed or encode access restrictions. The access restrictions are used to enforce access control policies. The public keys are used to encrypt some or all portions of files. The private keys can be generated to decrypt the portions of the files that have been encrypted with the public keys. By generating keys in a decentralized manner, not only are key distribution burdens substantially eliminated but also off-line access to encrypted files is facilitated.

The present invention concerns an electronic forensic tool for conducting electronic discovery and computer forensic analysis. The present invention allows a non-technical person such as a non-forensic expert to conduct electronic discovery and thereby obviate the need for an expert in many situations. The present invention allows for electronic discovery in a forensically sound manner. The present invention also concerns a business method for electronic discovery involving a software program and a command server for generating expanded functionality. The client software may be distributed at minimal or no cost, preferably as a CD. Using the client software, a user boots a target machine to determine whether a target machine contains data of interest.

Mechanisms have been developed for securing computational systems against certain forms of attack. In particular, it has been discovered that, by maintaining and selectively propagating taint status for storage locations in correspondence with information flows of instructions executed by a computing system, it is possible to provide a security (or other appropriate) response if and when a control transfer (or other restricted use) is attempted based on tainted data. By employing aging in decisions to propagate, it is possible limit overheads associated with such tracking. In some embodiments, a decay oriented metric is applied and further propagation of taints is interrupted once aging reaches a predetermined decay threshold. In some embodiments, more generalized labels may be maintained and selectively propagated based on an aging metric. For example, in some embodiments, labels may be employed to code source designation or classification, aging, popularity / frequency of access or taint.
