Title: Secure transfer of files between applications on a mobile device using keys supplied by a server
Inventor: TAN SIMON
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 2013-09-06
Abstract: A first application 405, such as a cloud storage application, initiates a session with a server 100. The session is validated using user credentials 428 and the application receives an authentication token 426. A second application 410, such as an editor, requests a file from the first application.

The second application may obtain the key 424 from the first application or the server. The second application modifies the file, encrypts the new version and passes it back to the first application 430. If the session expires before the file is passed back, the first application prompts the user for the credentials and starts a new session. The first application may use a background service to prompt the user without the user manually switching to the first application.

Title: General user network interface (UNI) multi-homing techniques for shortest path bridging (SPB) networks
Inventor: KEESARA SRIKANTH
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2013-12-19
Abstract: A set of User Network Interface (UNI) nodes that receive multicast packets are determined based on Backbone Media Access Control-Destination Address (BMAC-DA)/I-Tag Service Identifier (I-SID) of received multicast packets within a transport network. An egress port mask is determined for each Backbone-Virtual Local Area Network (B-VLAN) of the transport network, wherein the egress port mask is determined such that only one UNI node of the set forwards the multicast packets. A set of UNI copies of the multicast packets are filtered out by applying the port mask and the remaining copies sent out. A private clustering protocol between UNI nodes in a cluster may be used to exchange port state information for a multi-homed UNI Link Aggregation Group (LAG). When a fault occurs at one of the nodes, an egress port mask assigned to that node is modified such that another node in the cluster becomes responsible for making copies for each of the B-VLANS of that node.
