  • Patent number: 11599279
    Abstract: In an information processing system, a storage control server (storage control node) that has received a read request of data from a compute server (compute node) transmits the read request to a drive box. The drive box that has received the read request from the storage control server reads encrypted read target data corresponding to the read request from non-volatile storage media, decrypts the read target data with key data acquired at a predetermined timing, and then transmits the decrypted read target data to the compute server as a read request source.

  • Patent number: 11592999
    Abstract: The storage part receives an I/O request including the ID of software, information regarding a storage area to and from which the software performs input and output, and a token. The storage part checks the I/O request against the software ID, the information regarding the storage area, and the token received from an I/O control part so as to determine whether access to the storage part is allowed. Upon determination that the access to the storage part is allowed, the storage part processes the I/O request.

  • Publication number: 20220255940
    Abstract: A system that controls access to a resource by a user stores policy information for determining a condition with respect to an operation of the resource. The system acquires a first access request that shows a predetermined operation to a first resource by the user from a user terminal. The system acquires user state information that shows a current state of the user from the user terminal. The system determines a condition in case of access by the user based on the user state information. The system determines whether to authorize the first access request based on the policy information and the condition in case of access.

  • Patent number: 10050011
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device having improved reliability. In the semiconductor device in an embodiment, a mark is provided correspondingly to the bonding area of a belt-like wiring exposed from an opening provided in a solder resist. As a result, in an alignment step for the wire bonding area, the coordinate position of the wire bonding area can be adjusted using not the end portion of the opening formed in the solder resist, but the mark formed correspondingly to the wire bonding area as a reference. Also, in the semiconductor device in the embodiment, the mark serving as a characteristic pattern is formed. This allows the wire bonding area to be adjusted based on camera recognition.
