  • Patent number: 10129257
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for authorizing restricted action (e.g., data access) requests using a tiered arrangement. A rule set is generated based on a policy received by an authorization server and is transmitted to a broker associated with an enterprise server. A restricted action request is received by an agent associated with the enterprise server and is provided to the broker associated with the enterprise server. The broker analyzes the request in view of the rule set and determines if the restricted action request should be granted or denied. The policy and/or rule set are updated based on activities and/or events within the system and a new rule set is generated based on the updated policy.

  • Patent number: 9813285
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for providing a rule set from an authorization server to a broker associated with an enterprise server. The broker can be configured to receive a broker understandable restricted action request from an agent associated with the enterprise server, the request originated by an endpoint device. The request can be analyzed by the broker in view of the rule set and an approve, deny, partially approve or partially deny decision can be provided from the broker to the agent. The agent can prevent the endpoint device to performing the restricted action based on the decision provided by the broker.

  • Patent number: 9077758
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for deploying an authorization policy to an enterprise server in a test mode. An authorization server generates and provides a test rule set based on the policy to enterprise server. An endpoint device transmits a restricted action request to the enterprise server which analyzes the request in view of the test rule set. A request decision based on the test rule set is made and recorded without being implemented by the enterprise server. A test mode report is generated based on one or more recorded decisions and the policy is enabled or invalidated based on the test mode report.

  • Publication number: 20100135542
    Abstract: Biometric enrollment and identification, including authorization and access, capability for integrated circuit chips (“ICCs”) using the multi-application operating system (“MULTOS”). The ICC of a smart device reviews biometric data to authenticate identity in order to grant or deny a user instant or real-time access to secured information. A match-on-chip (“MOC”) algorithm of the ICC performs a one-to-one correspondence for comparing a stored reference template of an individual biometric element and a live sample template.

  • Publication number: 20060089825
    Abstract: There is provided a system and process for detecting biomolecular interaction on a substrate having a biomolecule immobilized on a surface of the substrate. The system and process incorporate a scanning Kelvin microprobe (SKM) capable of analyzing surface topography as well as a contact potential difference image signal. Also provided is the use of SKM in measuring and analyzing biochemical molecular interactions between a probe bound to the surface of the substrate, and a target suspected to be present in a liquid sample. One of the probe and target combination is a biomolecule such as a nucleic acid, a polypeptide, or a small molecule, and an antibody antigen combination may be used.

  • Patent number: 6159695
    Abstract: Oligonucleotides and other biomolecules are immobilized in high density on solid substrates through covalent forces using either a permanent thioether bond, or a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond to a surface thiol. Substrates which have hydroxyl groups on their surfaces can be first silanized with a trichlorosilane containing 2-20 carbon atoms in its hydrocarbon backbone, terminating in a protected thiol group. The oligonucleotides or other biomolecules are first connected to a tether consisting of a hydrocarbon or polyether chain of 2-20 units in length which terminates in a thiol group. This thiol may be further modified with a halobenzylic-bifunctional water soluble reagent which allows the conjugate to be immobilized onto the surface thiol group by a permanent thioether bond. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide-tether-thiol group can be converted to a pyridyldisulfide functionality which attaches to the surface thiol by a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond.
