A system and method for facilitating access to data systems are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes one or more computer systems programmed to perform operations including providing a database access module and providing a local system. The database access module has a core module in communication with a global database having a plurality of records; and a monitor module in communication with the core module and configured to monitor activities of the core module. The local system includes a socket service for establishing persistent socket connections with the core module and the monitor module; a local database in communication with the socket service and including a subset of the plurality of records; and a user application in communication with the socket service and configured to provide a user with access to the subset of the plurality of records.

System and method for facilitating access to data systems

Systems and methods are described for communicating with a plurality of databases. An example method includes: initiating a communication with a database from a plurality of databases; selecting from a plurality of integration templates an integration template corresponding to the database; using the selected integration template to generate a communication procedure corresponding to the communication; and using the communication procedure to provide the communication to the database.

Systems and methods for communicating with a plurality of databases

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for initializing an application on an electronic device. In one aspect, a method includes detecting, in an electronic device, an instruction to initialize an application from a package installed on the electronic device, the application configured to be embedded in a page conforming with hypertext markup language (HTML) and use an HTML compliant variable for initialization, wherein the application is not initialized in an HTML compatible browser application, obtaining, in response to the instruction and from a file in the package, an application file name for an application file and at least one value for the HTML compliant variable, loading the application file identified by the application file name such that the application is initialized and executed on the electronic device, and providing the value to the application for the initialization.

Initializing an application on an electronic device

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, create and use software installation packages including digital signatures. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a first installation package including program content and package information, which includes information stored in a platform independent format and useable in an installation sequence; converting the first installation package into a second installation package stored in a format native to a target platform, the second installation package including at least a portion of the program content and the information useable in the installation sequence, and the converting includes identifying a digital signature native to the target platform and combining the digital signature native to the target platform with a document native to the target platform, the document including at least a portion of the program content; and initiating installation on the target platform with the second, native installation package.

Software installation package with digital signatures

Publicly accessible linking information is to establish a trusted relationship between reciprocally linked entities controlling web resources, such as websites or web logs. A method of establishing a trust relationship between two entities identifying a user-installed link to a second web resource in a first web resource. Next, the method determines when a reciprocal link is made in the second web resource directed to the first web resource and creates a trust relationship between the entities based on the reciprocal link.

Reciprocal public trust relationship

A system and method for sending email. The method includes the steps of receiving: an email address including a destination domain from a user; prior to sending a message to the destination domain, determining whether the destination domain will receive email; and providing an indication to the user that the email may not be deliverable to the address. In one embodiment, the step of determining includes maintaining a list of problematic destination domains and checking the destination domain against said list.

Email address verification

A system and method for verifying messages. The method may include the steps of receiving an inbound message and characterizing the inbound message by analyzing a latent cryptographic identifier in the inbound message. The identifier is generated by a recognized message system, which may be the receiving system itself, for an outbound message. Characterizing may involve detecting if the latent cryptographic identifier is present and determining if the cryptographic identifier is valid. The step of determining can be performed using symmetric or asymmetric methods of verifying the authenticity of the message.
