Abstract: The object of the present invention is to create a method for storing data in the cloud that ensures the privacy of the said data even against the administrators of the servers that make up the cloud, without impeding the practical and convenient management of the access permissions to such data. This guarantee is obtained by encrypting the stored data and the distributed and partitioned storage (for example, by the Shamir method) of the keys that allow decrypting the said data. When this method is implemented, an attacker, who wants to access the data in an unauthorized manner, should obtain unauthorized access to at least two different servers, located in different physical locations and administered by different authorities.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is a distributed electronic voting system of the type permitting the performance of an election regarding a given issue and using remote terminals interconnected by means of an open telecommunication network (such as Internet). The method is characterized by comprising (a) a phase in which virtual ballots are created, (b) a phase in which an order between the Voting Agents is established, (c) a phase in which each Voting Agent successively extracts a virtual ballot, (d) a phase in which the last agent makes the list of remaining ballots public, (e) a phase in which each agent verifies the coherence of the data and communicates any possible mistake in that, (f) a phase in which each agent asks for additional information to other agents so that they can make additional security verifications.

Abstract: SYSTEM FOR VOICE-BASE INTERACTION ON WEB PAGES, of type that permits the incorporation of voice-handling functions on a Web page, in which from a Terminal (1) a Web page (3) of a Web site that is structured under the DOM (Domain Object Model), or any of its extensions, and a networked Voice Service Server (5), by means of a downloadable module (6) for further incorporation in a Web browser, the system including the operating procedures for enabling said module to act as a transparent gateway in a dialogue between said Voice Service Server (5) and said Web page (3), said Web browser permitting to handle said Voice Services of said Server (5) through script functions incorporated in said Web page (3).
