An apparatus to facilitate security within a computing system is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage drive, a controller, comprising a trusted port having one or more key slots to program one or more cryptographic keys and an encryption engine to receive the cryptographic keys via the one or more key slots, encrypt data written to the storage drive using the cryptographic keys and decrypt data read from the storage drive using the cryptographic keys.

A system may include a plurality of rack-mountable, ruggedized drawers, each comprising a main body, a set of fans, a power supply, and a card connector. Connections may be provided, via a backplane of each of the card connectors, to a set of plugin cards each installed in the respective main body. A processor of the card connector of one of the drawers may represent the drawers by communicating information with an external third party.

A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to identify a message to a plug and play (PnP) manager of an operating system, the message comprising an identifier of a device to be configured by the PnP manager, determine whether the device is targeted for device identifier translation at least in part by determining whether the device satisfies one or more target device criteria, and replace the identifier of the device with a reference identifier different from the identifier of the device in response to a determination that the device is targeted for device identifier translation, the reference identifier being usable by the PnP manager to install or configure the device.

A hot-plugged PCIe device configuration system includes a PCIe device with a PCIe configuration space having PCIe configuration space registers. A computing system includes a PCIe connector and a PCIe setting record database storing a first PCIe setting record having a first register write location value and first register value information. The computing system detects that the PCIe device has been hot-plugged into the PCIe connector, and uses the first register write location value in the first PCIe setting record to determine a location in the PCIe configuration space that provides a first PCIe configuration space register. The computing system then uses the first register value information in the first PCIe setting record to determine at least one register value change for the first PCIe configuration register, and writes the at least one register value change to the first PCIe configuration space register using the location.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for managing Internet of Things (IoT) network-connected devices.

A method and device are for recognizing an apparatuses and computer readable storage medium and program are provided. In an embodiment, the method includes reading a combined sequence table including candidate device information, candidate communication parameters and historical occurrence numbers of combinations of the candidate device information and the candidate communication parameters for each candidate device information; determining priority levels of the combinations according to the historical occurrence numbers; and determining a current combination according to the priority levels, sending a message to the apparatus to be recognized by using a candidate communication parameter in the current combination, and determining whether the current combination is the correct combination capable of establishing a communication with the apparatus to be recognized according to a feedback from the apparatus to be recognized. The recognition efficiency may be improved effectively and the recognition time may be shortened significantly through the method.

Techniques are described herein for isolating a network stack in a multitenant container DBMS. A first and second pluggable database are established within a container database. A first network stack is assigned to the first pluggable database and a second network stack is assigned to the second pluggable database. A request is received to connect to the first pluggable database and a connection is established to the first pluggable database using the first network stack. A request is received to connect to the second pluggable database and a connection is established to the second pluggable database using the second network stack.

A MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY receiving device is configured to handle being hot plugged to MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device. During a hot plugging event, the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY receiving device has not been initialized by receipt from the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device of a Stop State signal of duration T.sub.INIT. Though the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device is already transmitting data associated with a partial frame, the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY receiving device will not enter into an error or unknown state, and will ignore line start/end and frame end events and drop the data packets associated with the partial frame until a frame start event corresponding to a full frame is received from the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device.

In one aspect, a request is sent to a device for a device descriptor that describes custom interfaces. The custom interfaces may be expressed according to a defined data structure. The device descriptor that describes the custom interfaces is received at a gateway. An interface agnostic application is executed to translate the device descriptor to the custom interfaces for consumption of the data described by the custom interfaces.

A method and apparatus for an extensible, format-independent middleware message interpreter is disclosed in which a host machine is configured with a universal message service (UMS). The UMS communicates with local and cloud servers and destination devices. The UMS is configured with a plug-in service that can accommodate plug-in libraries of plug-in modules. The UMS receives formatted messages from the local and cloud server applications and destination devices, parses the messages, and identifies a command message type. Based on the command message type, the UMS performs actions including executing the local command on the host machine, relaying the embedded-sub-message data to the at least one destination device as indicated by the destination identification, and relaying the embedded-sub-message data to the plug-in service.
