Abstract: A system for secure data transmission comprises a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a string generator stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The string generator is adapted to generate a character string. The system also comprises a hashing engine stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The hashing engine is adapted to generate a hash key using the character string and a private key. The system further comprises an encryption engine stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The encryption engine is adapted to encrypt the data using the hash key. The processor is adapted to transmit the encrypted data, an identification key related to the private key, and the character string to a recipient.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for discovering whether software files are associated with licenses. One method of software execution includes dividing software code into plural functions, transforming each function into plural tokens, and comparing the plural tokens with a set of tokens that corresponds with a known function subject to a software license.

Abstract: A system for managing information requests a header data library accessible by a processor. The system also comprises a security module accessible by the processor. The security module is adapted to receive a request for information from a client where the request comprises header data and direct the request to a server if the request header data corresponds to the library header data.

Abstract: A data management system comprises a processor adapted to receive a transfer of an update. The system also comprises an update manager accessible by the processor and adapted to obtain a listing identifying each of a plurality of data packets corresponding to the update. The update manager is further adapted to access the listing to determine a transfer status of each of the data packets in response to a partial transfer of the update.

Abstract: A system for secure data transmission comprises a memory accessible by a processor, an entry application stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and a padding application stored in the memory. The entry application is adapted to receive an identifier from a user. The padding application is adapted to automatically combine the identifier with padding data to form a padded identifier. The padded identifier is associated with accessing data at a recipient device.

Abstract: A system for controlled access comprises a processor, a memory accessible by the processor, an index application stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and an entry application stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The memory comprises an identifier associated with granting access. The identifier comprises a plurality of fields. The index application is adapted to randomly generate an index field identifying one of the plurality of fields. The entry application is adapted to request from a user at least a portion of the identifier beginning with the index field.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention comprises an appliance security method, the appliance operable to be used by a consumer at a single user entry point and serviced using a unique security mechanism unique to the appliance. The method also comprises associating an appliance with a unique identifier, associating a unique security mechanism with the unique identifier, the unique security mechanism required to service the appliance.
