The objective of this invention is to ensure that programs that generate and send data packets are well behaved. This invention discloses a method and system that consist of an end station and a network interface, such that, the network interface is capable of determining the authenticity of the program used by the end station to generate and send data packets. The method is based on using a hidden program that was obfuscated within the program that is used to generate and send data packets from the end station. The hidden program is being updated dynamically and it includes the functionality for generating a pseudo random sequence of security signals. Only the network interface knows how the pseudo random sequence of security signals were generated, and therefore, the network interface is able to check the validity of the pseudo random sequence of security signals, and thereby, verify the authenticity of the programs used to generate and send data packets.

The lock identifier and the user identifier are sent to a remote computer system, and an access code for the lock is received from the remote computer system. Embodiments also include an electronic lock that receives and verifies an access code that includes a validity start time and a validity end time. When the current time is within the validity start time and the validity end time, the electronic lock grants access to one or more lock features.

An improved method and system for processing network metadata is described. Network metadata may be processed by dynamically instantiated executable software modules which make policy-based decisions about the character of the network metadata and about presentation of the network metadata to consumers of the information carried by the network metadata. The network metadata may be type classified and each subclass within a type may be mapped to a definition by a unique fingerprint value. The fingerprint value may be used for matching the network metadata subclasses against relevant policies and transformation rules. For template-based network metadata such as NetFlow v9, an embodiment of the invention can constantly monitor network traffic for unknown templates, capture template definitions, and informs administrators about templates for which custom policies and conversion rules do not exist. Conversion modules can efficiently convert selected types and / or subclasses of network metadata into alternative metadata formats.

Currency is validated by comparing identifying information extracted from the currency, such as a serial number associated with the currency, to identifying information in a list corresponding to invalid currency, such as counterfeit currency. If the extracted identifying information matches identifying information on the list, the currency is deemed invalid.
