Abstract: Reconstructing a second component signal relating to a second component of a multi-component picture from a spatially corresponding portion of a reconstructed first component signal and a correction signal derived from data stream for the second component promises increased coding efficiency over a broader range of multi-component picture content. By including the spatially corresponding portion of the reconstructed first component signal into the reconstruction of the second component signal, any remaining inter-component redundancies/correlations present such as still present despite a possibly a priori performed component space transformation, or present because of having been introduced by such a priori performed component space information, for example, may readily be removed by way of the inter-component redundancy/correlation reduction of the second component signal.

Abstract: A client device that is not originally compliant with a particular security standard (e.g., FIPS) is brought into compliance through the addition of a standard-compliant software-based cryptographic library. In order to adapt the cryptographic library to integrate with the hardware-backed keystore, a non-hardware-backed software keystore is used to store keys used by the cryptographic library. Additionally, in order to provide appropriate security for the software keystore, the software keystore (and/or the keypairs within the software keystore) is protected by a password, and the password is in turn protected by the hardware-backed keystore. Thus, to obtain the password needed to obtain a keypair from the software keystore that is in turn needed to use the cryptographic library, a user must authenticate with the operating system, e.g., by providing biometric credentials.
