  • One-time password with unpredictable moving factor
    Patent number: 11316663
    Abstract: Techniques for authentication using a blockchain hash value as a moving factor. The techniques include retrieving, by an authenticating device and from a blockchain, a current hash value of the blockchain, where the authenticating device and an authenticator server share a secret key value and each have access to the blockchain. The techniques further including generating, by the authenticating device, a secure token based on the secret key value and the current hash value. The techniques further including transmitting the secure token to the authenticator server and receiving an indication of authentication from the authenticator server.
    Type: Grant

  • Guaranteeing a single copy of a shared assembly per process
    Patent number: 8412852
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer program product, and a data processing system access a version of shared assembly in a componentized environment, wherein multiple versions of the shared assembly exist concurrently in a single process, and wherein each version of the shared assembly comprises an assembly stub and an assembly implementation. A call to an assembly stub of the shared assembly is received. The call is then forwarded from the assembly stub to an identified assembly implementation using a proxy pointer. A function table structure is then retuned from the identified assembly implementation, wherein the function table structure contains implementation symbols from the identified assembly implementation.
