Stanford researchers have patented an automated computer management system which can virtualize computers as well as the network of virtual machines to automatically and easily manage a large number of computers.
This patented invention is an internet-based laboratory data management system that can be used to create protocols, collect and organize data, archive long-term records, and facilitate scientific collaboration among researchers.
Proxy Identity Based Encryption (proxy IBE) is a new encryption scheme that allows a user to send data encrypted with any given public key to a receiving user who decrypts the data with their own private key which is of no relation to the key used for encryption.
