Data transfer and synchronization system
David L. Multer,Robert E. Garner,Leighton Ridgard,Liam Stannard,Donald W. Cash,Richard Onyon +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a data transmission system is described which optimizes transfer and updates of information between systems by providing difference information between the systems, and the system transmits data packages having instructions for manipulating user data.
Patent
Advanced contact identification system
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method of advanced identification information to be created and distributed to users of wireless communication devices, such as mobile phones, is presented, where subscribers can define their own personas as collections of information which define the users.
Patent
Device message management system
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for managing email or other messaging and attachments to messages which are forwarded to devices having limited processing and memory capacity is presented, which includes the steps of: receiving a user configuration categorizing messages for the user by elements of the message; accessing the user message datastore upon receipt of at least one new message for the users to a user data store; comparing said at least new message to a set of user specific rules; rendering a message summary including at least 1 link accessible by the processing device, the link enabling action with respect to the
Patent
Wireless telephone data backup system
Richard Onyon,Liam Stannard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system for backing up data on a wireless telephone having a data store containing a user's personal information is described, and a method and application for it is described.
Patent
Personal information space management system and method
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system and method for organizing information in a personal information space, which includes at least one data source holding at least a portion of the personal information.

HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication
TL;DR: This document describes HMAC, a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions that can be used with any iterative cryptographic hash function, e.g., MD5, SHA-1, in combination with a secret shared key.

Scale and performance in a distributed file system
John H. Howard,Michael Kazar,Sherri G. Menees,David A. Nichols,Mahadev Satyanarayanan,Robert N. Sidebotham,Michael J. West +6 more
TL;DR: Observations of a prototype implementation are presented, changes in the areas of cache validation, server process structure, name translation, and low-level storage representation are motivated, and Andrews ability to scale gracefully is quantitatively demonstrated.

Kerberos: an authentication service for computer networks
B.C. Neuman,T. Ts'o +1 more
TL;DR: The authors concentrate on authentication for real-time, interactive services that are offered on computer networks, which includes remote login, file system reads and writes, and information retrieval for applications like Mosaic.

Scale and performance in a distributed file system
John H. Howard,Michael Kazar,Sherri G. Menees,David A. Nichols,Mahadev Satyanarayanan,Robert N. Sidebotham,Michael J. West +6 more
TL;DR: This paper examines the consequences of the design decision to transfer whole files between servers and workstations rather than some smaller unit such as records or blocks, as almost all other distributed file systems do, and compares the whole file transfer strategy with that of a block-oriented file system, Sun Microsystems' NFS.

Serverless Network File Systems
Thomas Anderson,Mike Dahlin,Jeanna M. Neefe,David A. Patterson,Drew Roselli,Randolph Y. Wang +5 more
TL;DR: A new paradigm for network file system design, serverless network file systems that utilizes workstations cooperating as peers to provide all file system services to provide better performance and scalability than traditional file systems.
