Abstract: A user transaction request is received at a client device. A web browser plug-in communicates the user transaction request to a server that determines whether the user transaction request is a secure transaction. Transaction data is received from the server via the web browser plug-in. If the received transaction data indicates a secure transaction, the user is prompted to provide biometric data, which is received from the user. The web browser plug-in then communicates a transaction confirmation to the server.

Abstract: An approach is provided for selecting a security policy. A security policy manager determines one or more factors for adjusting a safety score associated with a device. The safety score is based, at least in part, on a context associated with the device. The security policy manager then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more factors and the safety score to calculate an adjusted safety score, and determines to select a security policy based, at least in part, on the adjusted safety score.

Abstract: Information leaked from smart cards and other tamper resistant cryptographic devices can be statistically analyzed to determine keys or other secret data. A data collection and analysis system is configured with an analog-to-digital converter connected to measure the device's consumption of electrical power, or some other property of the target device, that varies during the device's processing. As the target device performs cryptographic operations, data from the A/D converter are recorded for each cryptographic operation. The stored data are then processed using statistical analysis, yielding the entire key, or partial information about the key that can be used to accelerate a brute force search or other attack.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating confirmation of completion of a transaction(s) for state synchronization over a non reliable network using signature processing are described. One of the methods includes receiving a read request from a first client, sending a last known signature with a context object to the first client in response to receiving the read request, and receiving an appended signature from the first client with a context object for a transaction at the first client. The appended signature includes the last known signature and an increment by the first client. The operation of receiving the appended signature occurs upon execution of the transaction at the first client. The method further includes updating the last known signature to the appended signature and sending the updated last known signature to the first client to facilitate marking of the transaction as complete resulting in a definitive state synchronization.

Abstract: Described is a technology by which a transient storage device or secure execution environment-based (e.g., including an embedded processor) device validates a host computer system. The device compares hashes of host system data against valid hashes maintained in protected storage of the device. The host data may be a file, data block, and/or memory contents. The device takes action when the host system data does not match the information in protected storage, such as to log information about the mismatch and/or provide an indication of validation failure, e.g., via an LED and/or display screen output. Further, the comparison may be part of a boot process validation, and the action may prevent the boot process from continuing, or replace an invalid file. Alternatively, the validation may take place at anytime.

Abstract: A system and method for the secure storage of executable code and the secure movement of such code from memory to a processor. The method includes the storage of an encrypted version of the code. The code is then decrypted and decompressed as necessary, before re-encryption in storage. The re-encrypted executable code is then written to external memory. As a cache line of executable code is required, a fetch is performed but intercepted. In the interception, the cache line is decrypted. The plain text cache line is then stored in an instruction cache associated with a processor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to perform high-reliable authentication using a one-way function that a communication is a communication which was performed with the same apparatus to be authenticated by storing a password only in an apparatus to be authenticated (it is unnecessary to store a password in both of an authentication apparatus and an apparatus to be authenticated) without transmitting a challenge code. When a setting is updated in a setting management server, authentication is performed by using a one-time password obtained last time. A sound communication terminal performs a process using a hash function once on a one-time password transmitted this time, and performs authentication by determining whether the processed one-time password matches a one-time password obtained last time or not. Whether the information at the time of the change in the setting is proper or not is determined by a sound terminal.

Abstract: This invention provides for progressive processing of biometric samples to facilitate user verification. A security token performs initial processing. Due to storage and processing limitations, false rejections may occur. To overcome this, the biometric sample is routed to a stateless server with greater processing power and data enhancement capabilities. The stateless server processes and returns an enhanced biometric sample to the security token for another attempt at verification. In another embodiment, the security token may have a second failure when verifying the enhanced biometric sample. It can then send the enhanced or raw biometric sample to a stateful server. The stateful server processes the biometric sample and performs a one to many search of a biometric database having a master set of enrolled authorized user biometric templates. The security token uses signals from the stateful server to grant or deny access. In both embodiments, heuristics remain with the security token.

Abstract: Methods for authenticating and authorizing a mobile device using tunneled extensible authentication protocol are provided. The methods include evaluating an inner user identifier against a policy engine to determine a home AAA server to route an access request for inner user authentication. Instead of having a static route configured based on an outer identifier/roaming identity, the policy engine can have multiple rules and actions for routing the request. The evaluation can be based on the conditions of the inner user identifier and or other AAA attributes received in the request. The request is transmitted within a secure communication tunnel. There are several embodiments of evaluating an inner user identifier against a policy engine.
