Abstract: A system and method for establishing a connection on a mobile computing device includes generating a secret on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The secret is transported to a subscriber identity module (SIM)/Smartcard on the mobile computing device. A secure local communication channel is established between the trusted platform and the SIM/Smartcard using the secret.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing a connection on a mobile computing device. A secret is generated on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The secret is transported to a secure channel application. The secure channel application establishes a trusted local communication channel between the trusted platform and a SIM (subscriber identity module)/Smartcard. The secret is received by the SIM/Smartcard. The secret, after being received by the SIM/Smartcard, is provided to a secure channel applet on the SIM/Smartcard. The secure channel applet establishes the trusted local communication channel between the SIM/Smartcard and the trusted platform, wherein the secret is shared by the trusted platform and the SIM/Smartcard.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for platform and device independent identity manageability. In one embodiment, the method includes validation of a manageable identity (MID) held within trusted storage of a user platform according to a user request to move the MID to a target platform. Once the MID is validated, available resources of the target platform are verified according to resource requirements of the MID. Once verified, the MID may be moved from the user platform to trusted storage provided by the target platform. In one embodiment, a platform-independent MID may be established that may be moved from a user platform to a non-compatible target platform, such that the platform-independent MID is not constrained to just one single platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A content display system for displaying downloaded locked content that has associated launch parameters. The system includes a media player that includes a download module for downloading content from a content provider over a network, a storage module for storing the downloaded content in a cache memory and a launch module for determining whether the associated launch parameters have been met. The launch module unlocks the content if the launch parameters have been met so that the content may be accessed by a user.

Abstract: A subscription content management and display system and method is provided in which subscription content is loaded into a local or otherwise designated memory for access by a user as desired. Optional subscription verification modules and period determination modules are provided controlling access to the content and loading at determined intervals.

Abstract: A system and method of interactive advertising is provided in which an interactive media player is configured to allow user interaction as media having advertising is played. User interaction, such as by clicking a watermark, sends a signal with identifying information. Clicking the watermark and sending the signal does not interrupt the operation of the media player, such as by stopping the display of the content or opening another browser window. The user may selectively respond to advertisements and a user profile may be created based on the responses and/or the content that is played.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing a trusted connection on a mobile computing device. A shared secret is generated on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The shared secret is transported to a secure channel application. The secure channel application establishes a secure local communication channel between the trusted platform and a SIM (subscriber identity module)/Smartcard on the mobile computing device. The shared secret is received by the SlM/Smartcard. In one embodiment, the mobile computing device includes a GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications) 03.48 application that sends the shared secret to a GSM 03.48 network infrastructure for storage, management, and verification by the GSM 03.48 network infrastructure, and in turn sends the shared secret to the SIM/Smartcard on the mobile computing device. In an alternative embodiment, a Diffie-Hellman key exchange is performed by the trusted platform to send the shared secret to the SIM/Smartcard.

Abstract: Techniques and architectures that allow two electronic devices to derive a shared keystream from a shared secret. In one embodiment, each of the electronic devices generates a random number and transmits the random number to the other electronic device. Each electronic device may generate value by performing a hash on the shared secret and the two random numbers. The hash value may be used to generate a shared keystream.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for intelligently bridging a first network and a second network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a protocol independent bridge device driver is bound to a first and a second network interface card device driver in order to access the first and the second network. Then the bridge device driver adaptively derives topology of the first and the second network based on network packets that it receives from the first and the second network. Lastly, the bridge device driver delivers the received network packets based on information contained in the received network packets and the derived topology.

Abstract: A computer operating system and media player are provided in which an integrated desktop environment is provided wherein a separate window is not necessary to operate the media player or perform other functionalities. In one embodiment, the media player controls are situated in a particular location on the desktop while the remainder of the desktop is available for internet, media player, e-commerce or other functionalities without opening separate windows. A cache memory management system also is provided in which free memory regions are used for the storage of data available for purchase or usage.

Abstract: A system and method of conducting electronic commerce is provided in which phantom advertising response clicks are reduced by inhibiting automated click-through access to an advertised Internet website. A security system is provided that makes it difficult, if not impossible, for automated systems to gain click-through access to an advertised Internet website without human intervention. An interim landing page is provided by the retailer to generate click counts reducing the phantom percentage contained. Passage through the interim landing page is required in order to gain access to the retailer's advertised web page.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ordering products using an editorial content provider. The editorial content is displayed to the user preferably as an electronic magazine. The electronic magazine includes magazine page numbers and navigation controls that enable a user to browse the electronic magazine in a manner similar to a conventional paper magazine. The editorial content includes user selectable links to products identified in the editorial content. A user may select the user selectable link and be presented with a product purchase page associated with the product identified in the editorial content. The product purchase page enables the user to place an order for the product. A third-party product supplier may present the product purchase page.
