Ordered binder document sections having different file formats stored within a binder file. The binder file maintains the order of binder document sections and the native file format of each section. The ordered sections can be viewed and edited through a viewport of a frame displayed by a binder program module. By selecting graphical images displayed in a selection area of the frame the content of a binder document section can be viewed and edited without viewing the content of other binder document sections. The graphical images can be icons or graphical images derived from the content of sections called thumbnail images. A thumbnail image can be derived from either the first page or from multiple pages of an individual section. The binder program module can also dispatch the underlying application program modules that created each binder document section to print, spell check, and grammar check the binder document sections as a single data processing task. In this manner, selected sections of a binder document can be printed as a single consecutively printed document without having other print jobs interrupting or intervening between printed sections of the binder document.

A payment processing system for accepting manually-entered payment-card numbers. Rather than entering a payment-card account number into an application module, the card number is instead captured and stored within a tokenizer prior to being sent to the application module. The tokenizer then returns a random token to the calling application as a pointer to the original payment-card number. The token has no algorithmic relationship with the original payment-card number, so that the payment-card number cannot be derived based on the token itself. Since the token is not considered cardholder data, the token may be used in an application module without the module or its connected hardware from being subject to regulatory standards compliance. Some embodiments involve browser-based schemes, and some embodiments involve PIN-entry device-based schemes.

A method of providing varying levels of secure access to computer resources. A certificate is used to identify a particular data requester and the certificate is authenticated using asymmetrical encryption techniques, such as public-private key pairs. One or more trust authorities may be consulted to ascribe a trust level to the certificate, which is an indication of the veracity of the identity of the data requester. Individual system users may set differing levels of access to a number of shared system resources for a particular data requester. The authenticated and verified data requester is then provided with the pre-set level of access to the desired shared resource. The level of access to a particular shared system resource therefore depends upon the user the data is being accessed through, the authenticated identity of the data requester, and their ascribed trust level. The shared resource may comprise data and / or an application module that is accessed or executed through a secure symmetric encryption tunnel.
