A credential management system with time-based credential validity period reduction is disclosed. The credential management system, responsive to determining to renew a current version of a time-based security credential, determines a validity time period length for a renewal version of the time-based security credential based on (1) a validity time period length for the current version of the time-based security credential and/or (2) renewal completion metrics for the respective credential holder. The credential management system obtains, from a credential authority, a renewed version of the time-based security credential having the determined validity time period length, and returns the renewed version to the credential holder. Receipt of the renewed version initiates performance of a deployment of the renewed credential at the respective credential holder to update use of the current version of the time-based security credential. Completion metrics are transmitted to the credential management system, for determining a next validity time.

Time-based credential validity period reduction

Techniques for certificate authority (CA) selection are described. A certificate management service of a cloud provider network receives a first request to generate a certificate from an electronic device, the first request including an indication of an identity of a user and an identification of a domain name to associate with the certificate. A CA selection policy applicable to the first request is identified, the CA selection policy including a CA selection rule. A CA to generate the certificate is identified by evaluating the CA selection rule, the CA selection rule associates at least a portion of the domain name with the CA. A second request to generate the certificate is sent to the identified CA. The certificate or an identification of the certificate from the CA is returned to the electronic device.

A set of consumers of a producer-consumer system includes a main consumer subset and a backstop consumer subset. A plurality of updates to message processing information are deployed to the set of consumers. Each update of the plurality of updates is first deployed to the backstop consumer sub-set and is subsequently deployed to the main consumer subset. The main consumer subset may obtain messages from producers and attempt to process the messages. By contrast, the backstop consumer subset may obtain messages only after a failed processing attempt by the main consumers. Upon obtaining a message, a main consumer may process the message successfully or may fail processing and provide the message for processing by a backstop consumer, which may be more up to date than the main consumer.

A user initializes multi-factor authentication for a user account, wherein the user account is accessed from multiple user devices. User behavior data is stored in response to receiving login credentials for one of the multiple user devices and the user behavior data is provided as input criteria for a statistical model or machine-learning algorithm. The statistical model or machine-learning algorithm may determine, based on a set of rules, an ideal secondary user device for use in receiving a multi-factor authentication code. The secondary user device receives the multi-factor authentication code without further requests made by the user.

The invention is incorporated into a tissue removal and manipulation device for vaginal hysterectomies and related surgeries. The present invention solves the suturing problem of the prior art devices by providing a device that not only can manipulate the uterus during surgery but remove the uterus without the need for suturing.

Disclosed are various embodiments for discovery of public points of interest. Data identifying points of interest is obtained. Each point of interest is associated with a respective user and specifies a respective name and a respective geographic location. A public point of interest is determined based at least in part on a similarity of the respective names of a subset of the points of interest, a proximity of the respective geographic locations of the subset of the points of interest, and a number of different users associated with the subset of the points of interest.
