  • Publication number: 20120233705
    Abstract: A method of identity attribute validation at a computer server involves the computer server receiving an identity attribute validation request from a communication terminal. The computer server further receives a credential, and is configured with an attribute disclosure profile of attributes authorized for disclosure to the communication terminal. The computer server determines the validity of the credential, and provides the communication terminal with a response to the identity attribute validation request based on an outcome of the credential validity determination. The attribute validation response includes attributes data associated with the credential authorized for disclosure by the attribute disclosure profile but excludes attributes data associated with the credential not authorized for disclosure by the attribute disclosure profile.

  • Publication number: 20110307949
    Abstract: A method of authenticating a network client to a relying party computer via a computer server comprises the computer server receiving a transaction code from a token manager via a first communications channel. The network client is configured to communicate with a token manager which is configured to communicate with a hardware token interfaced therewith. The network client is also configured to communicate with the relying party computer and the computer server. The computer server also receives a transaction pointer from the relying party computer via a second communications channel that is distinct from the first communications channel. Preferably, the transaction pointer is unpredictable by the computer server. The computer server transmits an authorization signal to the relying party computer in accordance with a correlation between the transaction code and the transaction pointer. The authorization signal facilitates authentication of the network client to the relying party computer.

  • Publication number: 20110265159
    Abstract: A method of establishing a communication channel between a network client and a computer server over a network is described. The network client may be configured to communicate with the computer server over the network and to communicate with a token manager. The token manager may be configured with a parent digital certificate that is associated with the token manager. The token manager or network client generates a credential from the parent digital certificate, and transmits the credential to the computer server. The credential may be associated with the computer server. The network client may establish the communications channel with the computer server in accordance with an outcome of a determination of validity of the credential by, the computer server.

  • Publication number: 20110059853
    Abstract: For assessing classification annotations assigned to DNA sequences stored in a reference database, the DNA sequences are grouped by species using established classification schemes. Subsequently, a measure of distance between pairs of DNA sequences is determined by aligning the respective sequences and determining the measure of distance based on a score of similarity between the aligned DNA sequences. Determined are one or more centroid sequences which have the shortest aggregate measure of distance to the other DNA sequences in the respective group (species). Assigned to the DNA sequences as a quantitative confidence level for their classification annotations is in each case the measure of distance between the respective DNA sequence and the centroid sequence. The assessment and rating of the classification annotations with these confidence levels make it possible to provide to a user a quantitative indication of the degree of representativeness of a DNA sequence for a particular species.

  • Patent number: 7600383
    Abstract: The turbojet of the invention includes a combustion chamber, a channel for heating the gas stream, where the heating channel includes at least one device for injection of fuel into the gas stream, which includes an open chamber, with a U-shaped section, having at least one wall within which extend fuel-injection means, which inject the fuel in at least one direction. It is characterised by the fact that a cooling jacket is provided in the chamber, alongside the wall forming the base of its U-section, and the fuel injection device includes protection means interposed between the fuel-injection means and the wall, in a fuel-injection direction. Thus, as a result of the invention, the fuel injection device, which is bathed in a very hot environment, is protected against thermal shocks due to the projection of colder fuel onto its walls, and its life expectancy is therefore increased.
