Abstract: Described herein is a platform and method for determining a confidence level associated with a transaction that utilizes dynamic data. In some embodiments, the confidence level is determined based on location data received in relation to the transaction. For example, some embodiments are directed to storing first location information collected from a mobile device provided in a request for the dynamic data, receiving second location information related to a transaction conducted using the dynamic data, and comparing the two with respect to the amount of time that has elapsed between collection of each to determine a confidence level associated with a likelihood that the transaction is authentic.

Abstract: A method of communicating a payment request from a first payment platform to a second payment platform is disclosed. The method may receive a payment request from a sending user on the first payment platform to a receiving user on the second payment platform where the payment request from the sending user is translated into a protected payment request. In response to the sending user being known, the protected payment request may be communicated to the second payment platform. An acceptance of the protected payment request from the second payment platform may be received. A transaction settlement request may be communicated to the first payment platform and the second payment platform.

Abstract: The presenting invention relates to techniques for implementing a secure operating environment for the execution of applications on a computing devices (e.g., a mobile phone). In The secure operating environment may provide a trusted environment with dedicated computing resources to manage security and integrity of processing and data for the applications. The applications may be provided with a variety of security services and/or functions to meet different levels of security demanded by an application. The secure operating environment may include a security engine that enumerates and/or determines the security capabilities of the secure operating environment and the computing device, e.g., the hardware, the software, and/or the firmware of the computing device. The security engine may provide security services desired by applications by choosing from the security capabilities that are supported by the secure operating environment and the computing device.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for securely binding a software application to a communication device may include sending a set of device identifiers associated with the computing device to a server, receiving a server-generated dynamic device identifier that is generated based on the set of device identifiers; and storing the server-generated dynamic device identifier during initialization of the application. During runtime execution of the application, the application may receive a request to execute an application specific task.

Abstract: A method and system for cycle accurate data transfer between skewed source synchronous clocks is envisaged. The procedure starts through reset. On reset, both the write and read address registers are set to point to location 0. Source clock is stopped to disable active clock edges to both write and read address registers during the reset procedure. The source clock is subsequently started to deliver active edges w both write and read address registers. On every active source clock edge, data is pushed into the data register based on the location pointed by write address resister. On every skewed active clock edge, data is read from the data register based on the address pointed by read address register. Due to the delayed nature of clock reaching the read address register, write address register increments first and stores data into the data register.

Abstract: Systems and methods may use proximate communication to retrieve information pertaining to a target device. In one example, the method may include detecting the target device within a vicinity of a user device, receiving an information request response communication including information pertaining to the target device, and receiving an operation request response communication including information pertaining to a performed operation.

Abstract: A method for automatic calibration of read latency of a memory module is envisaged. The read latency is initially set to a default maximum value. The default maximum value is equivalent to the number of clock cycles required to complete a data read operation. A data pattern to be read from the memory module in consideration of the default maximum value is identified. A memory read operation is preformed, and a first data pattern is captured, in accordance with the default maximum value. The identified data pattern is compared with the first data pattern, and the default maximum value is iteratively calibrated based on the comparison thereof. Aforementioned steps are repeated across a plurality of memory read operations, and variations ire the maximum default value are tracked, and an average maximum value is calculated based thereupon. The average maximum value is assigned as the read latency for the memory module.

Abstract: A client computing system inserts selected advertising into digital content. Ads may be inserted into content based on a dynamic advertising matching process that is securely implemented within a hardware-based root of trust. User profiles used in ad matching may be privacy protected and maintained with confidentiality protection in the client computing system and/or a service provider server, respectively. When a client computing system makes a request to the service provider server for content with specified ad slots, the request may be made with the client's EPID signature, which is inherently privacy protected. The hardware-based root of trust protects insertion of selected ads into the linear rendering flow of the content.

Abstract: A transaction is conducted by a user. Confirmation element data and a corresponding confirmation element identifier are generated for the transaction. The confirmation element data and an authorization response message for the transaction are then associated by the confirmation element identifier. The confirmation element data and the confirmation element identifier are sent to a mobile device of the user. The user enters a user personal identifier at the mobile device, which generates modified confirmation element data comprising the user personal identifier. The modified confirmation element data is sent with the authorization response message to a processing entity.

Abstract: A system and method for aligning clock signals in a DDR DRAM module is disclosed. The system includes a phase detector circuitry, a controllable delay circuit, a first delay circuit and a synchronizing circuit. A clock signal is simultaneously transmitted through the first delay circuit and the controllable delay circuit. Subsequently, the clock signals transmitted through the first delay circuit and the controllable delay circuit are captured at the output thereof, and fed as inputs to the phase detector circuitry. The phase detector circuitry determines whether the clock signals are in phase, and accordingly adjusts the delay associated with the controllable delay circuit until the two clock signals are determined to be in phase.
