  • Publication number: 20180183586
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for performing cryptographic operations based on an authentication policy are discussed. In an example, an authentication policy for implementing a user authentication factor (or multiple factors) may be deployed at a client computing device to control generation and use of a cryptographic key. Operations for generating a cryptographic key in accordance with an authentication policy may include: receiving the authentication policy from a policy broker, generating the cryptographic key in response to receipt of the user authentication factor defined by the authentication policy, generating attestation data that indicates compliance with the authentication policy, and communicating the attestation data to the policy broker.

  • Publication number: 20090065438
    Abstract: A fluid magnetic treatment unit and treatment method are disclosed. Fluid flows through at least one annular magnet with direction of flow always perpendicular to the line of magnetic force generated by the annular magnet and closely along the surfaces of the annular magnet. The fluid flows in series, in parallel or any combination of in series and in parallel. The annular magnet may be a ring magnet, a disc magnet or a ring-shaped electromagnet. In order to maximize the magnetic treatment effect, the annular magnet is driven to spin in a direction preferable opposite to the direction of fluid flow.
