Abstract: A method and system is performed by a requesting apparatus for accessing protected content from a content provider. The method includes receiving an indication of a level of trust needed to access specific protected content from a content provider, and supplying an identity attestation and an attribute attestation and the received level of trust to a third party evaluator. The evaluator determines if the requesting apparatus meets the level of trust needed to access the protected content. A trust attestation is generated indicating a level of trust of the requesting apparatus and is sent to the requesting device. The trust attestation is evaluated by the requesting device to determine what version of the protected content can be downloaded from a content provider. The requesting apparatus then asks for the protected content if the trust level attestation meets the level of trust needed to access the specific content from the content provider.

Abstract: Described herein are stem cells derived from the meninges; specifically, the dura mater, pia mater or arachnoid mater. Methods for isolating, differentiating and explanting these cells are described, as well. In particular embodiments, the stem cells of the present invention are differentiated into nerve cells, bone cells, cartilage cells and Schwann cells. The stem cells of the invention can be taken from a small biopsy, and rapidly expanded to large populations of cells using specially defined media that maintain their undifferentiated state. Use of the stem cells of the present invention in biomedical applications is also described.
