Abstract: A method for verifying an image by a first electronic device, the method comprising the first electronic device: sending a request for an image to a second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device is remote from the first electronic device and, optionally, a server; receiving an image and a certificate from the second electronic device, wherein the certificate comprises a protected checksum of at least the image; generating a checksum in dependence on at least the received image; performing a comparison in dependence on said generated checksum and the protected checksum received in the certificate; and verifying the received image in dependence upon the comparison. Advantageously, the first electronic device is able to verify each received image and to prevent the display of any received images that are not authenticated. Applications include the display of card images.

Abstract: A system provides personalized traffic information and route planning capabilities to users of the system using existing wireless personal telephone and communication systems that allow for the geo-location of users in the network. This system uses standard geo-location methods and telecommunication equipment to triangulate the position of a user and transfer data between them and the central system. This user information is collected and used to compute real-time system wide model of the street segments in the traffic network. This model can then be used to create individual routing information for any user of the system. This computed travel time information is used to determine the most efficient route for a user and can be transmitted to the user. As a user travels, their location is constantly obtained and their travel route information is updated and relayed to them.
