Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed at applying transformations to computer code residing in original libraries for protection against cyberattacks. For example, the transformations applied on original libraries cause random reorganization of the computer code resulting in a transformed version of an original library. Although a malicious attacker can utilize a known exploit of the original library and launch a cyberattack, such knowledge is of no use on the transformed version of the original library. In some embodiments, the transformed version of the original library is stored in cache memory and shared by multiple executable programs to facilitate efficient memory utilization.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to capturing and/or recovering components of a computing system. A recovery service may receive a recovery script from an external recovery script repository, wherein the recovery script may include a number of actions, each respective action being a capture action or a recovery action. For action in the recovery script, the recovery service may request a recovery agent to perform the action on a component of the computing system.

Abstract: A method for inspection of tubes in a boiler is disclosed. The method of inspecting includes the steps of providing an apparatus having a sensor and a housing adapted to contain the sensor. The method further including the steps of extending the apparatus into a tube bundle until a desired tube for inspection is reached; rotating the apparatus until the sensor is positioned over the tube to be inspected; clamping the housing around the tube to be inspected, thereby clamping the sensor around the tube; transmitting a pulse of guided waves into the tube to be inspected and detecting reflected signals; and acquiring data from the reflected signals and determining the condition of the tube.

Abstract: The present invention is a device, system and method for providing a more secure full motion video with metadata streaming product. More specifically, the invention is capable of ensuring a more secure video transfer from a less secure input data network to a more secure data receiving network through the use of a firewall on the less secure input network interface, which is used for separating video and discarding other unwanted data, and an Air Gap that physically separates the input and output networks. This physical separation ensures a secure transfer of the “cleaned” input data from the less secure input source to the more secure data receiving network.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inspection of tubes in a boiler is disclosed. The apparatus includes a sensor adapted to generate and detect guided-waves and a mechanical device adapted to reach into a tube bundle and clamp the sensor onto an interior tube selected for inspection. The mechanical device includes a housing adapted to contain the sensor and an air cylinder adapted to actuate the housing to allow the housing to clamp onto the interior tube.

Abstract: Data to be output to a removable storage medium is encrypted for sending to an output device by an encryption process based on encryption parameters comprising public data of a trusted party and an encryption key string comprising a policy for allowing the output of the data. The trusted party provides a decryption key to the output device but only after being satisfied that the policy has been met. The decryption key is generated in dependence on the encryption key string and private data of the trusted party. The output device uses the decryption key in decrypting the data to be output. Embodiments are provided that involve multiple policies and trusted parties.

Abstract: A method and system for sorting online advertisements to enable users of online advertising networks, auctions, merchants, etc. to identify known or trusted parties are provided. Users designate other users as friends. When a user searches for or browses through advertisements, those advertisements posted by the user's friends are easily identified. Advertisements posted by members of the user's network (i.e., friends of the user's friends) are also easily identified.

Abstract: A data-handling system (20) is arranged to scan through data it holds for instances of sensitive information as identified by reference (35) to a set of sensitive-information identifiers held by the system. Each identifier identifies one or more items of sensitive information (25) and is so formed or protected as to not reveal any such item. Following an instance of sensitive information being found by the scan, it is replaced by a reference to an instance of the corresponding sensitive-information item (25) held in protected storage (21). As a result, in due course the only instances of, sensitive information held by the system (20) will be those in the protected storage (21).

Abstract: A secure transaction method is provided for publicly-accessible transaction terminals. The method uses quantum key distribution (QKD) between a hand-portable QKD device and a complimentary QKD apparatus incorporated the transaction terminal. After the QKD device has been brought up to the transaction terminal, the QKD device and the complimentary QKD apparatus of the terminal are is used to provide the device and terminal with new secret shared random material. The new secret shared random material is then used to establish a secure classical communication channel between the device and transaction terminal for conducting a transaction. An ATM terminal and POS terminal that use quantum key distribution are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for identifying an item of equipment previously selected by a user. At the time the user selects the item of equipment a reading of a biometric characteristic of the user is taken to provide first biometric data that is then stored for access only by the user-selected item. Subsequently, a user-associated device is used to contact an item of equipment and determine whether the contacted item is the user-selected item by checking whether the contacted item can provide biometric data that matches second biometric data known to correspond to the user. Preferably, the device also checks whether the contacted item of equipment is trustable. User-selectable equipment facilitating identification using biometrics is also disclosed.

Abstract: A trusted authority delegates authority to a device. This delegation of authority is effected by providing a yet-to-be completed chain of public/private cryptographic key pairs linked in a subversion-resistant manner. The chain terminates with a penultimate key pair formed by public/private data, and a link towards an end key pair to be formed by an encryption/decryption key pair of an Identifier-Based Encryption, IBE, scheme. The private data is securely stored in the device for access only by an authorized key-generation process that forms the link to the end key pair and is arranged to provide the IBE decryption key generated using the private data and encryption key. This key generation/provision is normally only effected if at least one condition, for example specified in the encryption key, is satisfied. Such a condition may be one tested against data provided by the trusted authority and stored in the device.
