Computer technology for performing a download of a set of file(s) by multiple computer devices. Different computer devices respectively download different parts of the set of files and respectively encapsulate them with file wrappers to create multiple 'sealed off portions.' Each sealed off portion indicates what portion of the code of the set of file(s) is in that sealed off portion. The multiple sealed off portions are transferred (for example, over a local area network) to another computer device, which may, or may not, be one of the multiple computers that created one of the sealed off portions, and this computer device assembles the sealed off portions to re-create the set of file(s).

A computer-implemented process, computer program product, and system for dynamic change of a password under a brute force attack. A computer processor determines a quantity of consecutive unsuccessful attempts to access the targeted item protected by a password. Responsive to the quantity of consecutive unsuccessful attempts to access the targeted item exceeding a predefined threshold, the computer processor acquires a new password for access to the targeted item, wherein the new password is based on a more complex set of password generation rules than a current password. The computer processor changing the current password of the targeted item to the new password, and in response to changing the current password of the targeted item to the new password, the computer processor sends an encrypted message regarding the new password to a user associated with the targeted item.

Dynamic protection from detected brute force attack

In an approach to validating proposed recipients based on message contents, a number of keywords in a message under construction that are not in a keyword database for each addressee in the message under construction are counted. Responsive to determining that the number of keywords that are not in the keyword database for each addressee in the message under construction is above a threshold, notifying the user of a possible incorrect addressee.

Validating proposed message recipients based on number of message keywords

A first processor may receive a first request, from a first user, to initiate a first application. The first processor may initiate a first recording device. Initiating the first recording may include executing firmware embedded in the first recording device. The first processor may validate the identity of the first user using the first recording device. The first processor may initiate the first application. Initiating the first application may include loading and executing a first operating system associated with the first application.

Enabling/disabling applications using face authentication

A method, computer program product, and system for dynamic change of a password under a brute force attack. A computer processor monitors a password protected account. A frequency of access attempts to the account is determined and in response to the frequency of access attempts exceeding a first threshold, a brute force password attack against the account is determined. A quantity of consecutive unsuccessful access attempts is tracked and responsive to the unsuccessful access attempts exceeding a second predefined threshold, a new password of the account is acquired, in which the new password follows a more complex set of password generation rules than the current password. An encrypted message regarding the new password is sent to a user of the account, the password of the account is reset to the new password, and the quantity of consecutive unsuccessful attempts to access the account is reset to zero.

Virtual machine volumes may be migrated between software defined storage (SDS) systems by an orchestration engine configured to manage one or more virtual machines. The orchestration engine may identify one or more volumes associated with the one or more virtual machines and resident in a first SDS system to migrate to a second SDS system, and for each identified volume among the one or more identified volumes, the orchestration engine may create a replacement volume for the identified volume on the second SDS system, map the replacement volume to the associated virtual machine for the identified volume, cause the associated virtual machine to discover the replacement volume, mirror data from the identified volume to the replacement volume, unmap the identified volume from the associated virtual machine, and delete the identified volume from the first SDS system.

A method for sequencing virtual machines in a shared pool of configurable network computing resources includes sequencing at least one computing element for two or more virtual machines into a respective two or more profiles, stored in a security database. Each virtual machine corresponds to a respective profile. The method also includes comparing a profile of a virtual machine corresponding to a security incident in the shared pool of configurable network computing resources with respective profiles of other virtual machines to identify similar profiles and group profiles into first and second groups. The method also includes comparing profiles of the groups of virtual machines and determining an alteration plan based on the comparison of profiles of the groups. The alternation plan includes a plan to modify one or more computing elements for virtual machines in the first group of virtual machines to reduce likelihood of susceptibility to the security incident.

A system for transferring digital rights managed (DRM) files from a first seller device to a buyer device involves a buyer device configured to receive a file package having the DRM file. Some file packages may also have a DRM file access key. The system also has a first seller device having the DRM file stored thereon and configured to receive a request to purchase the DRM file (the request having a DRM file identifier); receive a buyer identifier associated with the request; transfer the file package to a buyer device to the buyer device; detect through a network connection, a digital rights management server; and send, responsive to detecting the digital rights management server, a sale record to the digital rights management server, where the sale record includes the DRM file identifier and the buyer identifier.

Distributed digital rights-managed file transfer and access control

A method and/or computer program product autonomously drives a self-driving vehicle (SDV) to a service facility. One or more processors receive sensor readings from an SDV equipment maintenance sensor on the SDV. The SDV equipment maintenance sensor detects a state of equipment on the SDV indicative of a need for maintenance service for the SDV. The processor(s) identify a service facility capable of providing the maintenance service, and determine an amount of time required for the SDV to travel to and from a current location of the SDV to the service facility and to receive the maintenance service. The processor(s) identify a time window in which a user of the SDV will not need the SDV, and then direct the SDV to autonomously drive to the service facility during the time window in which the user of the SDV will not need the SDV.
