Patent application number | Title | Published |
20110252429 | Opportunistic Multitasking - Services for a personal electronic device are provided through which a form of background processing or multitasking is supported. The disclosed services permit user applications to take advantage of background processing without significant negative consequences to a user's experience of the foreground process or the personal electronic device's power resources. To effect the disclosed multitasking, one or more of a number of operational restrictions may be enforced. By way of example, thread priority levels may be overlapped between the foreground and background states. In addition, system resource availability may be restricted based on whether a process is receiving user input. In some instances, an application may be suspended rather than being placed into the background state. Implementation of the disclosed services may be substantially transparent to the executing user applications and, in some cases, may be performed without the user application's explicit cooperation. | 2011-10-13 |
20110252430 | Opportunistic Multitasking - Services for a personal electronic device are provided through which a form of background processing or multitasking is supported. The disclosed services permit user applications to take advantage of background processing without significant negative consequences to a user's experience of the foreground process or the personal electronic device's power resources. To effect the disclosed multitasking, one or more of a number of operational restrictions may be enforced. By way of example, an application that may normally be placed into the background state may instead be terminated if it controls a lock on a shared system resource. | 2011-10-13 |

20110252475 | Complementary Character Encoding for Preventing Input Injection in Web Applications - Method to prevent the effect of web application injection attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), which are major threats to the security of the Internet. Method using complementary character coding, a new approach to character level dynamic tainting, which allows efficient and precise taint propagation across the boundaries of server components, and also between servers and clients over HTTP. In this approach, each character has two encodings, which can be used to distinguish trusted and untrusted data. Small modifications to the lexical analyzers in components such as the application code interpreter, the database management system, and (optionally) the web browser allow them to become complement aware components, capable of using this alternative character coding scheme to enforce security policies aimed at preventing injection attacks, while continuing to function normally in other respects. This approach overcomes some weaknesses of previous dynamic tainting approaches by offering a precise protection against persistent cross-site scripting attacks, as taint information is maintained when data is passed to a database and later retrieved by the application program. The technique is effective on a group of vulnerable benchmarks and has low overhead. | 2011-10-13 |
20110252476 | EARLY DETECTION OF POTENTIAL MALWARE - Evidence of attempted malware attacks may be used to identify the location and nature of future attacks. A failed attack may cause a program to crash. Crash data may be sent to an analyzer for analysis. The analysis may reveal information such as the identity of the program that is being exploited, the specific way in which the program is being exploited, and the identity or location of the source of the attack. This information may be used to identify potential sources of attack and to identify the same type of attack from other sources. When the source and/or nature of an attempted attack is known, remedial action may be taken. Filters may warn users who are attempting to visit sites from which attacks have been attempted, and the makers of programs that are being exploited can be notified so that those program makers can release updates. | 2011-10-13 |
