  • System and method for effectively performing data restore/migration procedures
    Patent number: 8953808
    Abstract: A system and method for effectively supporting data transfer procedures includes a source device that registers with an account server to participate in a data backup service. The source device then encrypts and stores user data onto a datacenter. The source device later may request a data transfer task from a vendor. The datacenter responsively transfers the encrypted user data to a vendor server, and an escrow server generates and sends a temporary key to the vendor server. A destination device may then utilize the temporary key to decrypt and securely store the user data onto the destination device.

  • Apparatus and method for controlling secure communications between peripheral components on computer buses connected by a bridge circuit
    Patent number: 6473825
    Abstract: An apparatus for and a method of controlling secure communication between peripheral components in a communication system. The security level of each peripheral component address in the communication system is fixed. When a message is communicated, a bus access arbiter (122) detects the address of the originating peripheral component, and an address detector (110, 114) detects the address of the destination peripheral component. An address comparison circuit (116) determines whether the address of the destination peripheral component is an address to which the originating peripheral component is permitted to communicate. The address comparison circuit (116) is responsive to the address of the destination peripheral component being an address to which the originating peripheral component is permitted to communicate by permitting communication of messages from the originating peripheral component.
