Data rights management of digital information in a portable software permission wrapper

The present invention provides systems and methods for secure transaction management and electronic rights protection. The invention is a software permission control wrapper that is used to encrypt and encapsulate digital information for the purpose of enforcing discretionary access control rights to the data contained in the wrapper. The permission control wrapper enforces rules associated with users, and their rights to access the data. Those rights are based on deterministic security behavior of the permission wrapper based on embedded security policies and rules contained therein and that are based, in part, on the user type, network connectivity state, and the user environment in which the data is accessed.

Embedded secure element for authentication, storage and transaction within a mobile terminal

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to incorporating an embedded secure element into a mobile device, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of incorporating the embedded secure element into a mobile device for identity authentication, data storage and processing in trusted transactions. These trusted transactions require a high security level to protect sensitive data or programs in bank account management, purchasing orders, contactless payment, passport verification, and many other high-security applications. The secure element will provide a root of trust such that that applications running on the mobile device are executed in a controlled and trusted environment. In addition to conventional password or encryption protection, alternative security features are introduced from both software and hardware levels based on the embedded secure element. Therefore, the security level of the mobile device is not only enhanced, but also may potentially exceed that of the conventional POS terminals.

Apparatus and method for encrypting and decrypting data recorded on portable cryptographic tokens

A number of client systems receive a common secure transfer key pair from a server during initialization. The secure transfer private key is encrypted in the server with a platform public key sent to the server from the client system. Each client system is then able to encrypt data, using a secure transfer public key, to be recorded on a computer readable medium, and subsequently to decrypt such data using a secure transfer private key. Preferably, each client system includes an embedded security subsystem (ESS) performing cryptographic processes and providing secure key storage. Then, the secure transfer private key is stored as encrypted, and is decrypted using a private key within the ESS. Preferably, the platform private key is also stored encrypted, to be decrypted within the ESS using a hardware private key.

Method, System, And Apparatus For Nested Security Access/Authentication With Media Initiation

The disclosure details a nested security access system that manages access points / verification requests to create a series of layered security applications for securing access / user identification data. The NSA system works in coordination with an access point / verification module to generate a series of instructions as a login / verification module that may be executed locally. The login / verification module is executed by the access point / verification module to create a system user access / verification data entry form. Depending on the implementation, the access point / verification module may be configured to accept typed text or clicked image access / verification data, token access / verification data or selected image sequence access / verification data. The process of selected image sequence access involves the system user selecting a series of images that represent individual elements of a password without having to type the information into a data entry form.

Method for enhancing network application security

A method for securing communications between a server and an application downloaded over a network onto a client of the server is disclosed. A first request is received from the client, and in response a session credential security token is generated and sent to the client. A second request is received from the client to download the application and includes the value of the session credential security token. The server verifies that the value of the session credential security token is valid and, if so, generates a second security token that is tied to the session credential security token. The second token is embedded in application code and then the application code is sent to the client. A subsequent request for data from the application running on the client includes the value of the session credential security token and the value of the embedded security token. Verification of validity of the values of the session credential security token and the second security token received with the data request then occurs at least in part by determining that the values are cryptographically tied to one another. Upon verification, the requested data is sent to the client.

A system for embedding, extracting, and executing self-governing behavior and use controls within digital medium content

Steganography is the art of hiding information within information. The hidden information is called “covert” and the carrier information is called “overt.” In the digital world, steganography as a security technique differs considerably from encryption, watermarking, or placing data within digital envelopes. This invention uses steganographic techniques to embedded hidden behaviors, controls, and security within content creating self-governance of the content itself. The hidden behaviors include who, what, when, where, and how content is to be used. The hidden controls govern what can be done with the content such as copied, stored, deleted, and archived. The hidden embedded security includes authentication of author, source, and user of the content. In effect, the content becomes “smart content” and does not require network-centric security controls allowing ubiquitous exchanges across enterprises. This invention renders content counterfeit resistant, one-of-a-kind and includes self-editing schema for multimedia applications.

Process control system with an embedded safety system

A process plant includes a safety system that is physically and logically integrated with a process control system such that the safety system and the process control system can use common communication, diagnostic and display hardware and software within the process plant while still providing functional isolation between the safety system controllers and the process control system controllers. This integrated process control and safety system uses a common data communication structure for both the safety system and the process control system so that applications can send data to and receive data from devices in either system in the same manner, e.g., using the same communication hardware and software. However, the common data communication structure is set up to distinguish process control system devices from safety system devices using tags, addresses or other fields within the messages sent to or received from the devices, which enables data associated with the process control system to be distinguishable from data associated with the safety system, thereby enabling a diagnostic application within a user interface to automatically treat this data differently depending on the source (or destination) of the data.
