Abstract: A security service enables service providers to register available services. Prospective service consumers may register with the security service to access a particular registered service, and may specify conditions for access that are subject to approval by the corresponding service provider. Based on the registrations of the service provider and the service consumer, the security service can define access policies that may be enforced to control the conditions under which a service consumer accesses or utilizes the particular service. Additionally, changes to the access policies may be propagated to running services in near real time. Some implementations enable masking of information provided to particular service consumers based on determined needs of each service consumer for access to particular information. In some instances, the service providers may provide log information to the security service, which may be monitored to identify anomalies, security breaches or the like.

Abstract: A disabled debug capability may be securely re-enabled in an integrated circuit such as a system-on-a-chip (SoC) device. In a method, the integrated circuit receives a debug re-enable message. The debug re-enable message includes a debug re-enable token signed by a private key. The debug re-enable token is based on a serial number of the integrated circuit and a first copy of a symmetric key. The debug re-enable token is validated using a public key corresponding to the private key. A comparison token is generated using the serial number of the integrated circuit and using a second copy of the symmetric key stored in a one-time-programmable (OTP) memory of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit compares the debug re-enable token and the comparison token. The disabled debug capability is re-enabled in the integrated circuit if the debug re-enable token matches the comparison token.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes plural communication interfaces, a specifying unit, a network determining unit, and a transmission controller. The plural communication interfaces are individually connected to plural communication networks having different security levels. The specifying unit specifies a destination terminal to which a file stored in a data memory is to be transmitted. The network determining unit determines a communication network, among the plural communication networks, via which the file is to be transmitted to the destination terminal. The transmission controller prohibits transmission of the file to the destination terminal in a case where a security level set to the file is higher than a security level set to the communication network determined by the network determining unit.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for increasing the security of a database. A database is coupled with an access manager to limit certain applications that use the database to store user password information to queries that return at most one row. Additionally, returning a record may be limited to a case where the query includes the hash of the user name and password that is stored in the database. Other techniques may be implemented for other user account operations, such as password resets.

Abstract: A system manages computer security risks associated with message file attachments. When a user of an electronic device with a messaging client attempts to open an attachment to a message that is in the client's inbox, the system will analyze the message to determine whether the message is a legitimate message or a potentially malicious message without the need to actually process or analyze the attachment itself. If the system determines that the received message is a legitimate message, the system will permit the attachment to actuate on the client computing device. If the system determines that the received message is not or may not be a legitimate message, the system will continue preventing the attachment from actuating on the client computing device.
