  • Signature validation and generation
    Patent number: 7761711
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for validating a message with a signature. The method may include receiving the message with the signature and carrying out an integrated validation and storing process. The signature may be validated based on a validation algorithm and a key. The received message may be stored in a database. A method for generating a signature for a message may include carrying out an integrated receiving and generating process. The message to be sent may be received and the signature may be generated based on a signing algorithm and a key. The message may be sent with the signature.

  • Method for searching within elements in a hierarchically structured database
    Patent number: 7546282
    Abstract: Searching within elements of a hierarchically structured database. Each element may include one or more hierarchically structured nodes for defining attributes of the element. One or more nodes of the searched element may fulfill one or more search conditions (c0,ci, . . ). A plurality of codes may be searched and a unique identifier (EID) may be assigned to each of the selected nodes. A reference index may be created that allows to derive for each unique identifier (EID) of a selected node the corresponding element of the database. A set (L, Ei) of unique identifiers may be retrieved for each of the one or more search conditions for ancestor nodes, which fulfill the respective search condition. A final set of unique identifiers may be obtained. The searched elements of the database may be retrieved based on the final set of unique identifiers and the reference index.
