Patent number: 8302165Abstract: An offline trust system establishes a trust relationship between a trust authority computer system and a target computer system without relying on an active network connection between the computer systems. The offline trust system separates the trust establishment operation into a provisioning phase and a configuration phase. The provisioning phase can be performed entirely on the trust authority, while the configuration phase can be performed entirely on the target computer system requesting trust. The two phases can be performed at different times and do not assume any connection between the two computer systems. An administrator may perform the provisioning phase for many target computer systems at the same time. Thus, the offline trust system provides a way to establish trust between computer systems that is more reliable and less prone to failure.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Siddharth Bhai, Zhe (Jessie) Li, William S. Jack, III, Christopher W. McCarron, James J. Simmons, Qi Cao

Patent number: 8095970Abstract: Dynamically associating an attribute and an associated value to an object includes dynamically associating attribute-value sets to an object, but is not so limited. An exemplary system includes a directory component that can be configured to dynamically assign different values, for a set attributes, to an object. An exemplary directory application can be configured to select an attribute-value set for an object based in part on a group membership determination, and a precedence parameter associated with an attribute-value, set, or other grouping. Other embodiments are available.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2007Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Khushru M. Irani, William S.
