Abstract: An apparatus with a method, and or application, and or service to collect more fine rained or extra event data, that may not be accessible directly by the underlying architecture. This is been done by adding a virtual overlay over selected portion of the screen and detecting events inside or outside of his own context.

Abstract: Recording, analyzing and categorizing of user interface input via touchpad, touch screens or any device that can synthesize gestures from touch and pressure into input events. Such as, but not limited to, smart phones, touch pads and tablets. Humans may generate the input. The analysis of data may include statistical profiling of individual users as well as groups of users, the profiles can be stored in, but not limited to data containers such as files, secure storage, smart cards, databases, off device, in the cloud etc. A profile may be built from user/users behavior categorized into quantified types of behavior and/or gestures. The profile might be stored anonymized. The analysis may take place in real time or as post processing. Profiles can be compared against each other by all the types of quantified behaviors or by a select few.

Abstract: A database management system (1) comprises up to fifty or more workstations (2), each for a user. The environment may, for example, be a hospital and the system manages medical records in a secure manner. Each user has a private key issued by a KGC (5). A database controller (3) updates a secure database (3) with data and associated signatures generated by the user workstations (2). Thus every record of the secure database (3) has a signature to provide full traceability and non-repudiation of data edits/updates. It is important for the system (1) that the signatures are verified on a regular basis, say every hour. Such a task would be extremely processor-intensive if the database (3) is large. However this is performed by a verification processor (4) of the system (1) in a much shorter time than heretofore, t1+n(&Dgr;), where t1 is the time for one verification, n is the number of signatures, and &Dgr; is a time value which is a very small proportion of t1 (less than 1%).

Abstract: A method of performing IBE cryptography comprising the steps of a key generation server transmitting a master public key to a processor, the processor generating or retrieving a fresh master public key derived from the master public key transmitted by the key generation centre, and the processor using the fresh master public key to generate a public key for transmitting a message to a recipient device having a corresponding private key. The processor may store the fresh master public key in a read only memory for repeated use or it may dynamically generate it. To dynamically generate the fresh master public key the processor multiplies the original master public key by a curve co-factor. The processor may be incorporated into a hand-held card, and it may transfer information to a linked second processor for performing some of the calculations.
