  • Patent number: 11270506
    Abstract: In graphics processing data is received representing one or more vertices for a scene in a virtual space. A projection of the vertices onto a screen space of a display device is performed. A density of the vertices is adjusted for selected portions of the screen space, such that a lower density of vertices is present in selected portions of the screen space. Primitive assembly is performed on the vertices to generate a one or more primitives in screen space from the projection of the vertices onto the screen space. A finished frame is then generated by performing pixel processing to assign pixel values to the pixel or pixels that are part of the corresponding primitives. In some implementations, the finished frame can be stored in the memory or displayed on the display device.

  • Publication number: 20070186099
    Abstract: A two-factor network authentication system uses “something you know” in the form of a password/Pin and “something you have” in the form of a key token. The password is encrypted in a secure area of the USB device and is protected from brute force attacks. The key token includes authentication credentials. Users cannot authenticate without the key token. Four distinct authentication elements that the must be present. The first element is a global unique identifier that is unique to each key. The second is a private credential generated from the online service provider that is stored in a secure area of the USB device. The third element is a connection profile that is generated from the online service provider. The fourth element is a credential that is securely stored with the online service provider. The first two elements create a unique user identity. The second two elements create mutual authentication.

  • Publication number: 20060072527
    Abstract: An authentication and network management system for Wi-Fi local area networks includes a network management device and a plurality of Wi-Fi local area networks coupled to the network management device. Each local network includes at least one access point device having a Wi-Fi radio. A plurality of end user devices are attachable to the network forming nodes thereof, and each end user device has input plugs, such as USB ports and the like, for coupling accessories thereto. An authentication device is provided in the network for authenticating the end user devices attached to the network. A plurality of authenticating keys is provided, with each key attachable to an input plug of an end user device. Each key contains a validation certificate therein, wherein the authentication device verifies the presence of a current validation certificate on a key coupled to the end users device prior to granting access to the network.
