Abstract: A method for restricting a user's use of a file recorded on a client according to predetermined conditions, even if the use of the file has been authenticated previously in accordance with a policy, is provided. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes: a determination step of determining based on a policy recorded on the server whether a user of the client has a right to use the file; a recording step of changing a recording location of the file to a new recording location hidden from the user of the client and recording the file in the new recording location, in response to the determination that the user of the client has the right to use the file; and a deleting step of deleting the file from the new recording location in response to a disconnection of the client from the network.

Abstract: An apparatus for creating network configuration information from data including packet transmission time between one or more relay devices and a terminal, the relay devices relaying a signal which runs through a network and is measured by the terminal connected to the network, to another network, information about the relay devices and information about the terminal. The apparatus includes systems for: receiving the data from the terminal; arranging the relay devices in the network configuration information based on information about the relay devices; arranging the terminal in the network configuration information based on information about the terminal; arranging packet transmission time between the terminal and the relay devices in the network configuration information; and identifying a subnetwork from the data.

Abstract: A processor and program for analyzing network trace with the use of data packets transmitted via a network includes: a memory section 32 for storing trace data generated from the data packets; a packet analyzing section 34 for retrieving a pair of packets belonging to the same session from the trace data to generate an order relation between nodes; an array data generating section 36 for using packet pair data and order relation data to generate and store array data used for estimating time difference of the specific time axis of each node; and a solution engine section 38 for calculating an estimated value of the time difference with the use of the array data to store the estimated value in a memory.
