Abstract: A method, system and scheme are presented that provide a means of establishing secure and reliable two-way authentication with online service providers (“Providers”) using a hardware device. The account holders (“Users”) use a unique hardware device (“Hardware Device”), which is plugged into the communication technology, such as computer, being used to access online accounts. The device is used for storing cryptographic algorithms and keys that are capable of performing hashing, encryption and decryption operations. The device is periodically refreshed with new keys, which cannot be read or duplicated by the User.

Abstract: Methods and systems of controlling transport of film are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a supply platter motor in a no-rewind film transport system, comprises receiving take-up platter control signal information from a take-up platter controller, processing the take-up platter control signal information, and controlling the supply platter motor based at least in part on the processed take-up platter control signal information.
