Abstract: An architecture is presented that facilitates integrated security capabilities. A memory module is provided that comprises non-volatile memory that stores security software and a security processor that accesses the security software from the nonvolatile memory and performs security functions based on the security software stored. Further, a host processor located outside of the memory module arbitrates with the security processor for access to the non-volatile memory. The memory module in communication with the host processor establishes a heightened level of security that can be utilized in authentication services and secure channel communications.

Abstract: An architecture is presented that facilitates secure token generation and transmission capabilities in a mobile device. The system comprises at least one software application that includes a secure token assigned to a specific user and a memory module that communicates with an external processor. A security processor, non-volatile memory component and volatile memory component are integrated to form the memory module that communicates with the external processor. The memory module creates a secure execution environment for the execution of application agents associated with the software application and the secure token. The security processor of the system communicates with the software application and external processor to manage generation, authentication, confidentiality, and transmission of the secure token. And, the non-volatile memory allows the introduction of new tokens and the removal of old tokens.

Abstract: A machine implemented system and method that effectuates secure access to a flash memory associated with a mobile device. The system includes a security component that intercepts transactions between an external processor and the flash memory and implements authentication and access control to the flash memory. The system further includes components that can partition the flash memory and can associate authentication and access control information with the partitioned flash memory.

Abstract: An architecture is presented that facilitates integrating memory, security functionalities and near field communication (NFC) capabilities in a mobile device. A memory module is provided that comprises non-volatile memory that stores security software, sensitive data, and keys and a security processor that accesses the security software from the nonvolatile memory and performs security functions based on the security software stored. A NFC radio frequency transmitter and receiver (RF) is directly integrated into the security processor to facilitate NFC capabilities within the secure environment of the memory module. Further, the non-volatile memory directly interfaces to an NFC antenna positioned outside of the memory module via the integrated NFC RF. The integration of the security processor, memory, and NFC RF into the memory module provides a trusted environment for the manipulation and decryption of data received through the NFC antenna.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate the management of digital content in a local environment between a limited number of parties. A digital rights management (DRM) agent-server can be created in hardware in which both the agent-server and agent are trusted. A content owner can send digital content along with a rights attachment indicating a scope of the use rights associated with the content. The content can be accessed by the agent and perceived in a presentation component that will only permit the agent to use the content in accordance with the rights granted as to the content. The DRM agent-server can be implemented by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Further, the DRM agent-server can be implemented on a portable electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a laptop computer, for example.
