A method for providing access to documents and data files that are inherently valuable, and also documents that contain sensitive information, is configured with robust user identification and document control capabilities and facilitates document submission by, for or on behalf of a user who perhaps is the subject of the document. The document is processed, optionally character recognized and steganographically marked, and is stored in a fixed format together with descriptive identifiers and database indexing values to facilitate control and searching. The level of security encourages users to entrust documents to storage and the system is programmed to control disclosure of documents (or parts of them) according to the user's dictates. Correspondingly strict user identification and document controls apply to those who log on for purposes of document review or serve as authenticators. The result is a virtual safe depository for documents that enables documents to be reviewed when necessary with reduced risk of misuse, for example by inadvertent disclosure to identity thieves and others.

Systems and methods provide multiple partitions hosted on an isolation technology such as a hypervisor where at least one of the partitions, a local secure service partition (LSSP), provides security services to other partitions. The service partitions (LSSPs) host those high assurance services that require strict security isolation, where the service can be shared across partitions and accessed even when the user is not connected to a network. The LSSP also can certify the results of any computation using a key signed by a TPM attestation identity key (AIK), or other key held securely by the hypervisor or a service partition. The LSSPs may be configured to provide trusted audit logs, trusted security scans, trusted cryptographic services, trusted compilation and testing, trusted logon services, and the like.

A tracking system is implemented according to the invention in which the identification data of a wireless transmitter is divided into multiple bursts. Instead of transmitting the entire identification in a single burst, the identification is split among bursts, so that it takes a period of time to uniquely identify a particular transmitter. However, the time between bursts falls under tight tolerance, so once a transmitter is identified, it can be further identified based on when it transmits as opposed to what it transmits. In this way, high tractability can be maintained without repeatedly transmitting the entire identification code of the transmitter.
