Abstract: In a first embodiment of the present invention, a method of providing security enforcements of widgets in a computer system having a processor and a memory is provided, comprising: extracting access control information from a widget process requesting a service, generating access control rules customized for the widget process, and providing the access control rules to a trusted portion of the computer system outside of the user code space of a Web Runtime (WRT) system; and for any static access control rule, delegating security checking of the widget process from the WRT system to the trusted portion of the computer system.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate or support one or more navigation or positioning operations or techniques using, for example, a non-map-based location or routing interface for use in or with mobile communication devices.

Abstract: The security of web widgets is improved by transferring a set of access control decisions conventionally handled by the Web Runtime system (WRT) to a more secure portion of the computing system, such as a kernel in the operating system. Access control rules are extracted and provided to the more secure portion. This may be performed during widget installation or at invocation of a widget. During runtime, the more secure portion performs security checking functions for the widget instead of the WRT.

Abstract: A Mandatory Access Control (MAC) aware firewall includes an extended rule set for MAC attributes, such as a security label or path. Application labels may be used to identify processes and perform firewall rule-checking. The firewall rule set may including conventional firewall rules, such as address checking, in addition to an extension for MAC attributes.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein may relate to filtering one or more signal attribute patterns from use in position estimation for a mobile station based at least in part on an error value associated with an initial estimated position of the mobile station.

Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented in various methods and/or apparatuses to allow a portable electronic device to at least estimate its current position while within or otherwise operatively associated with an operating environment that may have one or more identifiable zones that present a reduced wireless communication condition.
