    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of obfuscating communication traffic patterns occurring over a cloud-based communication infrastructure includes detecting first data communication sessions between a first communications device a second communications device via a first computer server using a network protocol. An information content threshold value associated with the first data communication sessions is accessed. A traffic pattern based on the first data communication sessions is also accessed, whereby the traffic pattern determines communication occurrences between the first and the second communication devices over a predefined time period. An information content value associated with the accessed traffic pattern is determined. Using the network protocol, the first data communication sessions via the first computer server is re-routed to a second data communication session via a second computer server based on a detection of the information content value associated with the accessed traffic pattern exceeding the information content threshold value.

    Abstract: Managing a service is provided. Information is collected about use of a set of resources by the service. A request is received to verify information regarding a selected portion of a period of time during the use of the set of resources by the service. A description of the use of the set of resources by the service during the selected portion of the period of time is generated using the collected information in response to receiving the request to verify the information regarding the selected portion of the period of time during the use of the set of resources by the service. A response to the request is created using the generated description of the use of the set of resources by the service during the selected portion of the period of time as proof of validity of the information.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product enables automatic toll booth interaction with self-driving vehicles (SDVs). An SDV interrogation transceiver at a toll booth interrogates a driving mode module on an SDV. The SDV is capable of being operated in autonomous mode by an on-board SDV control processor. The driving mode module selectively controls the SDV to be operated in the autonomous mode or in manual mode, in which a human driver of the SDV manually operates the SDV. The SDV interrogation transceiver receives a driving mode descriptor of the SDV, which identifies whether the SDV currently is operating in the autonomous mode or in the manual mode while traveling on a toll road. An adjusted toll charge for the SDV to travel on the toll road is then transmitted based on the driving mode descriptor.

    Abstract: A hybrid cloud environment is provided where a user of cloud computing services is disposed to consume cloud provided services delivered by each of a plurality of cloud computing service providers. Specified event data is received at an MCS component. The event data pertains to metering events related to the cloud provided services delivered by one or more cloud service providers. Event data include event data furnished by one or more entities that actively monitor metering events at one or more local or remote cloud service provider locations. Event data are sent from the MCS component to a metering system. The metering system generates reports from the event data that contains usage information on services provided by one or more cloud service providers. Information for a provider specifies amounts and quality of each type of service delivered to users by the provider.

    Abstract: A cloud access manager obtains input regarding access control for at least one application deployed on a plurality of virtual machine instances in a cloud computing environment; the virtual machine instances are divided into at least first and second access zones. A cloud access manager registrar located in the cloud computing environment registers internet protocol addresses of external clients as seen from the cloud computing environment; at least some of the addresses are assigned to the clients via network address translation (NAT). Session traversal utility for NAT (STUN) is carried out to determine public internet protocol addresses assigned to the clients via NAT. The cloud access manager controls (i) access of the external clients to the plurality of virtual machine instances; and (ii) access of the plurality of virtual machine instances to each other, based on the registered internet protocol addresses, in accordance with the access zones.
