Abstract: A method including: receiving, via a processor, established upper bounds for dynamic structures in a multi-tenant system; creating, via the processor, arrays comprising related memory-management unit (MMU) mappings to be placed together; and placing the dynamic structures within the arrays, the placing comprising for each array: skipping an element of the array based on determining that placing a dynamic structure in that element would cause the array to become overcommitted and result in a layout where accessing all elements would impose a translation look aside buffer (TLB) replacement action; and scanning for an array-start entry by placing the start of a first element at an address from which an entire array can be placed without TLB contention, and accessing, via the processors, all non-skipped elements without incurring TLB replacements.

Abstract: A new system to grant or refuse access to a system, comprising a portable access device communicating with a terminal of an access point, wherein the portable access device comprises a storage means. A set of trust parameters is stored on the storage means, the set of trust parameters being used to evaluate the amount of service and/or functionality of the system being granted to the user presenting the trust parameters on the portable access device, wherein the evaluation and the decision, whether to grant or refuse access to the system is made as a result of computation of the trust parameters without revealing the identity of the user.

Abstract: A random number generator (RNG) resistant to side channel attacks includes an activation pseudo random number generator (APRNG) having an activation output connected to an activation seed input to provide a next seed to the activation seed input. A second random number generator includes a second seed input, which receives the next seed and a random data output, which outputs random data in accordance with the next seed. An input seed memory is connected to the activation seed input and a feedback connection from the activation output so that the next seed is stored in the input seed memory to be used by the APRNG as the activation seed input at a next startup cycle.

Abstract: The invention includes a markup language according to the SGML standard in which document type definitions are created under which electronic documents are divided into blocks that are associated with logical fields that are specific to the type of block. Each of many different types of electronic documents can have a record mapping to a particular environment, such as a legacy environment of a banking network, a hospital's computer environment for electronic record keeping, a lending institution's computer environment for processing loan applications, or a court or arbitrator's computer system. Semantic document type definitions for various electronic document types (including, for example, electronic checks, mortgage applications, medical records, prescriptions, contracts, and the like) can be formed using mapping techniques between the logical content of the document and the block that is defined to include such content.
