Abstract: A system enables a client coupled to a server via a network to exchange security policy information across the network. The client is configured to determine security policy associated with the server based on a notification returned from the server. The notification having policy information embedded therein is issued by the server in response to the server's decision to deny client's access request. Based on the policy information embedded in the notification, the client is configured to generate a new access request by either acquiring information from a client user or selecting a different credential from a library of credentials.

Abstract: A method for obtaining resource restriction information of a client application's resource includes: receiving authentication information from one of a plurality of authentication modules; identifying a client application's resource and authentication module based on the received authentication information; locating a policy store that is associated with the identified client application's resource, the policy store containing resource restriction information for each of the plurality of authentication modules; and obtaining the resource restriction information associated with the identified authentication module from the policy store.

Abstract: The invention relates to multifunction peripherals (MFPs). More particularly, the invention relates to dynamic discovery of networked printing devices. Some embodiments of the invention include multi-function peripherals capable of broadcasting their respective physical location to recipient devices capable of generating a map to the respective device based on the physical location.

Abstract: A secure communication session is established between a first device and a second device, by generating, in the first device, a first secret key to be utilized for communication sessions with other devices. The second device requests to establish a first communication session with the first device, and the second device generates a second secret key corresponding to the first secret key of the first device. The second device stores the generated second secret key in a non-volatile memory of the second device, the second secret key being stored in the non-volatile memory in association with an identifier of the first device. Finally, a secure communication session is established between the first and second devices utilizing the first and second secret keys.
