Abstract: The present invention provides for streamlined issuance of certificates and other tokens that are contingent on key attestation of keys from a trusted platform module within a computing platform. Various methods are described for wrapping the requested token in a secret, such as an AES key, that is encrypted to a TPM based key in a key challenge. If the requesting platform fails the key challenge, the encrypted certificate or token cannot be decrypted. If requesting platform passes the challenge, the encrypted certificate or token can be decrypted using the AES key recovered from the key challenge.

Abstract: Various techniques of monitoring for click fraud in an online advertising system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a web server includes a traffic module configured to detect a request from a client device, an analysis module configured to perform a determination if the detected request includes a client ID. The web server also includes a calculation module configured to determine a count of requests with client ID and a count of requests without client ID based on the determination by the analysis module. The web server further includes a fraud module configured to monitor for click fraud based at least in part on the determined count of requests with client ID and/or count of requests without client ID from the calculation module and the determination by the analysis module.
