Abstract: A server holds correspondence information in which a device identifier of a device for which an authentication process is successful and area network information concerning an area network including a controller are associated with each other. In the case where the authentication process is successful, the device holds area network information concerning an area network including a controller for which authentication is successful. In response to a connection request from a new device, the server checks whether an identifier of the new device is registered in the correspondence information. If the identifier is registered, the server determines whether the area network information associated with the identifier matches the area network information held by the new device. If the pieces of information do not match, the server detects the new device as an unauthorized device.

Abstract: A device (110) according to an implementation of the present invention, having a plurality of virtual machines (1002, 1003, 1004, and 1005), includes a virtualization software (1001) which manages the virtual machines. The virtualization software includes an application VM creating unit (1300) which creates a virtual machine for executing a program. A first virtual machine (1002) determines whether a first program is to be executed on the first virtual machine or to be executed on a virtual machine other than the first virtual machine. When the first virtual machine determines that the first program is to be executed on the other virtual machine, the application VM creating unit creates a second virtual machine for executing the first program.

Abstract: A radiation heater apparatus has a plurality of heat radiation parts and a plurality of heating parts. A low thermal conductive part is formed between adjacent two of the heat radiation parts. The low thermal conductive part is provided with resin material which mainly forms a substrate part. The low thermal conductive part thermally isolates the heat radiation part by surrounding a periphery of the heat radiation part. As a body contacts with the surface of the apparatus, the thermal energy of specific heat radiation part directly under the body dissipates heat to the body. Furthermore, heat transfer from the periphery of the specific heat radiation part to the specific heat radiation part is reduced by the low thermal conductive part.

Abstract: A first user among a plurality of users is associated with a second user having an evaluation tendency similar to evaluation data of the first user for management. Further, a third user is selected by a terminal device of the first user as a user having preference information that suits preference of the first user. The third user is associated with the first user and the second user for management. This configuration makes it possible to select not only a user automatically selected by a system but also another user whom a targeted user is interested in as a similar user, allowing provision of information that better suits hobby and preference of the targeted user.

Abstract: To aim to provide a monitoring system and a program execution apparatus that are capable of maintaining the security intensity even in the case where an unauthentic install module is invalidated. Install modules included in an apparatus each monitor an install module, which is a monitoring target indicated by a monitoring pattern included therein, as to whether the install module performs malicious operations. An install module that performs malicious operations is invalidated in accordance with an instruction from an update server. The monitoring patterns are restructured by the update server such that the install modules except the invalidated install module are each monitored by at least another one of the install modules. The restructured monitoring patterns are distributed to the install modules except the invalidated install module.

Abstract: A management device detects whether any normal monitoring module that has not been tampered with exists by referring to monitoring results received from an information security device and selects, when existence is detected, one of the monitoring modules and assumes that the selected monitoring module has been tampered with. The monitoring device then successively applies a procedure to monitoring modules other than the selected monitoring module by referring to the monitoring results, starting from the selected monitoring module, the procedure being to assume that any monitoring module determining that a monitoring module assumed to have been tampered with is normal has also been tampered with. As a result of the procedure, when all of the monitoring modules are assumed to have been tampered with the management device determines the selected monitoring module to be a normal monitoring module that has not been tampered with.

Abstract: An information processing device verifies the authorization of an application that has issued an access request to access a device. When an application on a universal OS issues a processing request to a secure device driver, a secure VMM and an application identification unit on a management dedicated OS lock a page table of the application and refer to the page table to generate a hash value. The application is determined to be authorized or unauthorized by comparing the generated hash value with a reference hash value.
