Abstract: A method, system, server and computer-readable medium enable verification of a member of an organization and the generation of a session-specific certificate for the member upon receipt of a status report indicating that the member is in good standing with the organization. When the member logs in, the member's credentials are retrieved from an identification server that enables the identification of web services associated with the organization to which the member belongs. The identification server also provides a personal certificate associated with the member to enable the generation of the session-specific certificate.

Abstract: A computer system manages role-based digital rights by creating a chain of trust that originates with a user who purports to act as a registration authority whose status can be verified to ascertain that the user is licensed to act as the registration authority. The registration authority creates an organization account and a first member whose status is verified by consulting a status verification server. Derivative authorities granted to members are predicated on the first member and ultimately the registration authority to ensure that there is a chain of trust linking each member of an organization back to the registration authority.

Abstract: A service control and management systems, and more specifically a system to manage hourly working services, that has service beneficiaries' and/or service providers' smart cards, smart card readers at service sites, and a central server capable of communicating with the readers. In the system each reader has means for initializing a service time count after initialization of the transaction until a service ending time. Also, there are means for recording, periodically on a non-volatile memory, information relating to the performance of the services, and means for transmitting the information from the reader to the central server.
