  • Publication number: 20050033987
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that establishes and maintains conditional trust by stating a signal of distrust from a trustee's computing platform to a trustor's computing platform. The trustor attests a trustee at a given time and also sends trust conditions to the trustee upon which the trustor trusts the trustee for some intended purpose. The trust conditions may include restrictions on hardware or software components and any status changes to the hardware or software components. The trustee then monitors the hardware and software components in relation to the trust conditions and reports distrust signals when the trustee's hardware and software configuration no longer matches the trust conditions.

  • Publication number: 20030110046
    Abstract: A system for storing and releasing information including a portable device and a receiver. The portable device includes a secure memory, a memory buffer, an access control system for controlling output of the information from the secure memory only upon a user entering an authentication, and a transmitter. The receiver is separate from the portable device for receiving the information transmitted from the transmitter. The information can be stored in the memory buffer and transmitted from the memory buffer by the transmitter to the receiver without the user entering the authentication. The information can be stored in the secure memory and transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver only upon the user entering the authentication such that the system allows alternatively releasing the information from the portable device with or without using the authentication.

  • Publication number: 20030005327
    Abstract: A system for protecting copyrighted materials which are digitally transferred. A terminal is wirelessly connected to a server, digital rights management engine and content storage device. After the user is authenticated, the server gains authorization to forward the content to the user. By having almost all functions in the secure area of the server, illegal copying is less likely to occur.

  • Publication number: 20020187772
    Abstract: A method of accomplishing a transaction by a user equipment. Transaction information is inserted in at least one data field of an information entity that associates with the transaction based on information available at the user equipment. The information entity is then transmitted from the user equipment over a wireless interface. The insertion may require authorisation. The insertion may occur automatically in response to a predefined event.

  • Publication number: 20020188523
    Abstract: A method in a system wherein a user equipment (1) and another party (12) are enabled to exchange transaction data. A data entity is generated, said data entity associating with a transaction. Information of an object that associates with the transaction is included in the data entity. The data entity is then transmitted to the user equipment (1) over a wireless interface (11). The user equipment may then request for additional information that associates with the transaction based on said information of the object.

  • Publication number: 20020159596
    Abstract: A personal trusted device is capable of communicating with a rendering machine such as an audio amplifier. Content to be played on the amplifier is selected by a user of the personal trusted device, the relevant permissions being negotiated between the device and the machine. Thus, it is possible for encrypted digital content to be rendered at a location and on a machine suited to the user's requirements.

  • Publication number: 20010016042
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for loading a program module (L1, L2, L3) in a terminal, in which one or several programs (A, B) are running, and in which method subroutines (P1, P2, P3) are stored in said program modules (L1, L2, L3). The program modules (L1, L2, L3) are provided with first tags (T1, T2, T3), wherein to start binding, the program makes a call (7) to a subroutine (P1, P2, P3). The call (7) is supplemented with the first tags (T1, T2, T3) to select the program module (L1, L2, L3) for binding, in which the called subroutine (P1, P2, P3) is stored. The tags (T1, T2, T3) are supplemented with second tags (LT1, LT2, LT3). The call (7) is also supplemented with said second call data (PKx, PKy, PKz).
