Abstract: A technique is provided for extending a handshake communication between a communication device and an application server. The application server receives at least two messages from the communication device, each message comprising a handshake index and triggering a handshake session so that the application server negotiates with the communication device a set of cryptographic parameters. For each received message, the application server stores a negotiated set of cryptographic parameters in correspondence with a connection state index depending on the handshake index. The application server activates one of the stored sets of cryptographic parameters to establish a secured connection with the communication device.

Abstract: A method for limiting execution of an encrypted computer program on a secure processor includes executing a first set of instructions encoding a test for determining whether a value of a register of the secure processor belongs to a set of valid register values encoded in the encrypted computer program. Execution of the first set of instructions causes the secure processor to read a first register value from the register of the secure processor, the register of the secure processor preventing repeated reads of a same value of the register, and determine whether the first register value belongs to the set of valid register values encoded in the encrypted computer program. Execution of further instructions of the encrypted computer program is prevented if the first register value does not belong to the set of valid register values encoded in the encrypted computer program.

Abstract: System and method for authorizing transactions, such as payments or money transfers. A source entity may initiate a transaction with a target entity via a first communications channel. In initiating the transaction, the source entity may indicate that the transaction is to be performed through a transaction authorization service. The target entity may send a transaction initiation message to the transaction authorization service. In response to receiving the transaction initiation message, the service may authorize the transaction with the source entity via a second communications channel. To authorize the transaction, the source entity may provide a PIN number or other identifier via the second communications channel. After receiving and validating the response from the source entity, the transaction authorization service may inform the target entity that the transaction is authorized. The target entity may then complete the transaction with the transaction authorization service and the source entity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a security card processing system and method, and more particularly, to a security card system and method wherein a security card is activated and security information stored in the security card is externally transmitted only when the card owner's fingerprint is authenticated using a fingerprint sensor built into the security card, thereby protecting against unauthorized use by other people. According to the present invention, unauthorized use of the security card by other people can be prevented and also security information of the owner of the security card can be protected from leaking since the security card is activated and the security information stored in the security card is externally transmitted only when the card owner's fingerprint is authenticated using a fingerprint sensor built into the security card.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of providing candidate information comprises: obtaining a challenge code from a verification service at a first device associated with an ID candidate; capturing the challenge code from the first device at a second device associated with an ID checker; verifying the challenge code between the second device and the verification service and, if the challenge code is verified, providing the candidate information from the verification service, such that the candidate information is accessible to the ID checker.

Abstract: An application analysis platform enables automatic generation of abstract program representations (APRs) that are amenable to static analyzes for finding security vulnerabilities. The APR is generated automatically, preferably from an existing build system or a source repository, and then encapsulated into a binary archival format for consumption by a static analysis tool, which operates on-premises or in the cloud. The abstract program representation is a highly compact version of the actual source code it represents. The archival format obfuscates the source code that is subjected to the analysis, thus protecting it from being reverse-engineered when moved off-premises or otherwise shared with other users, teams and even organizations.

Abstract: A prompt for input data in a user interface (UI) is detected. An input window to receive the input data is presented, and the input data is received via the input window. The input data is encrypted by the input window, and the encrypted data is stored to a memory. A copy of the stored encrypted data is forwarded to a server device. In one example, portions of the encrypted data may be forwarded to the server device in separate transmissions.

Abstract: A learning management system and method. Controllable devices, generally intended for students of a smart classroom, are each operable in a locked configuration and in an unlocked configuration. A controller device, generally intended for a teacher of a smart classroom, is configured to send command signals over a communication network. A server system interprets and handles communications between the controllable devices and the controller device such that when a locking signal is sent from the teacher's controller device, the server system sets each of the controllable devices to the locked configuration in which the user interface of each controllable device is controlled by the controller device, and when an unlocking signal is received from the teacher's controller device, the server system sets each of the controllable devices from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration in which the user interface is operable independently of the controller device.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a system determines a set of instructions from the available instructions for a computer application. The determined set of instructions provides specific functionality of the computer application. The system may determine the set of instructions by performing functional testing and negative testing on the specific functionality. The system may reorganize and randomize the set of instructions in memory and write the reorganized set of instructions to a smaller memory space. For each available instruction not in the set of instructions, the system changes the respective instruction to inoperative to prevent execution of the respective instruction. The system may change the respective instruction to inoperative by overwriting the instruction with a NOP instruction. The system then captures a memory address of the computer application being accessed at runtime.
