Direct Anonymous Attestation involves a Signer using a credential supplied by an Issuer to anonymously prove to a Verifier, on the basis of a public key of the Issuer, the Issuer's attestation to the Signer's membership of a particular group. To facilitate membership revocation, the Issuer updates the public key at intervals, and also effects a complementary updating to the Signer's credential unless the Signer has ceased to be a legitimate group member. A non-updated credential is inadequate to enable the Signer to prove its Issuer attested group membership to a Verifier on the basis of the updated Issuer public key.

A method of delivering a digital document to an intended recipient at a printout station, such as a fax machine. The method comprises receiving and securely retaining a transmitted document and a transmitted independently verifiable data record such as a digital certificate of the intended recipient at the printout station. A first token, such as a public key, of the intended recipient is obtained, usually from the transmitted information. The method includes requesting proof of the intended recipient's identity at the receiving fax machine using data in the digital certificate of the intended recipient and releasing the document when the intended recipient has proved their identity by use of a second token, such as a private key, that is uniquely related to the first token. The private key may be provided on a portable smart card. Also envelope data encryption techniques may be used to add security to the transmission of the document.

Disclosed is a system or method of using hash functions to preserve a relationship. A relationship is anonymously preserved by storing the hash result of a relationship token that comprises a finite set of values of a plurality of objects. Specifically, an account anonymous identifier of an account can be produced by hashing a relationship token that comprises identity information of an owner of said account. A party that has enough knowledge of an account owner can independently produces said account anonymous identifier and therefore, securely communicates with a specific account without prior communication or a password. An account owner can further prove his/her ownership of an account by submitting related documents and a relationship token that comprises his/her identity information to an account system.

A server computing device can determine if a software application executing on a client computing device has not been tampered. Software executes on the server device and communicates either directly or indirectly with an attestation service; a client software application running on the client computing device communicates with the same attestation service. A client software application that is able to calculate a cryptographic hash fingerprint of its executing code image communicates to the attestation service to prove it is untampered with. The attestation service then generates a pass or fail attestation result. The attestation result is communicated between the attestation service and the server computing device. The behaviour of the server computing device is controlled in a way that is conditional on whether a prior attestation of the client software was a pass or fail attestation result.

A service that handles incoming telephone calls without bothering the telephone subscriber is disclosed. The service permits a call to go through to a subscriber if the service determines that the call is not unwanted and the caller has been unauthenticated. The authentication is based on challenging the caller to prove its identity rather than relying on caller ID displays. Prospective callers pre-register with the service providing caller account information. When a caller is issued a challenge, the caller may prove its authenticity by supplying the challenge back to the service along with its registered information.

Apparatus and system for configuring a wireless bridge for a computing device such as a game console. The wireless bridge must include a key (not known to the public) employed in producing a digest. The digest is passed to the game console to authenticate that the wireless bridge is compatible and can thus be configured by the game console. Once the wireless bridge proves its compatibility, a configuration procedure included in an operating system on the game console configures the wireless bridge to connect to a wireless network so that the game console can communicate through the wireless bridge with a gaming site that is accessed over the Internet. The configuration is done without using a web browser program or a configuration program that is specific to a particular model and manufacturer of the wireless bridge.

In embodiments a WCD system is worn and/or carried by an ambulatory patient. The WCD system analyzes an ECG signal of the patient, to determine whether or not the patient should be given an electric shock to restart their heart. If so, then the WCD system first gives a preliminary alarm to the patient, asking them to prove they are alive if they are. The WCD system further determines whether the ECG signal contains too much High Amplitude (H-A) noise, which can distort the analysis of the ECG signal. If too much H-A noise is detected for a long time, the WCD system may eventually alert the patient about their activity, so that the ECG noise may be abated. The WCD system may even pause the analysis of the ECG signal, so that there will be no preliminary alarms that could be false until the ECG noise is abated.

This invention involves a reading process for three-dimensional means of identification (100) that are unique and non-reproducible (100), containing a mixture of at least two materials (110 and 120) that are distinguishable from one another (110 and 120), remarkable in that it consists of one part to recognize the internal heterogeneous structure of the means of identification (100) in two dimensions, and another part to verify and prove its third dimension to render falsification impossible. This characteristic reduces the amount of storage memory as well as the length of time necessary to perform the operations of reading, acquisition, and comparison usually conducted in such processes. The invention also involves a device that implements said process as well as a means of identification adapted to said process.

Access to encrypted data on a removable computer media such as a computer tape is controlled via a uniquely-structured header on the medium having a symmetrical key wrapped by asymmetrical encryption plus a public key associated with the asymmetrical encryption. The data on the medium is encrypted using the symmetrical key. Prior to automated reading of the data by a reader, a challenge is issued to a host system including the public key and preferably a nonce value. The host responds by signing the nonce using a private key associated with the public key in order to prove it has rights to decrypt the data. The symmetrical key is unwrapped using the private key, and finally the unwrapped symmetrical key is used to decrypt the data on the medium, thereby allowing automated reading of the tape data without the need or risk of two administrators sharing a symmetrical key value.

A mechanism for allowing a user to prove their identity on touch-based devices employing the use of a touch surface in firmware-controlled environments is discussed. The user may prove his or her identity by entering a series of strokes on the touch-based device to form a word or image. Characteristics of the entered strokes such as stroke order and stroke direction are compared to stored stroke characteristics that were gathered from a drawing of the same word or image during a user enrollment process. If the stroke characteristics comparison is acceptable, the user identity is verified.

The entirety of a web page, including clickthroughs, is cached at a location within a network intermediate a client requesting the page and the host web site for the page. Activation of a clickthrough, whether held in session cache on the client machine, or in the network cache causes a javascript program to generate an activation identifier giving the IP address of the machine activating the clickthrough and the time. This ID, together with an ID giving the IP address from which the web page originally hosting the clickthrough was retrieved is sent to the host web site, enabling them to prove their role in the establishment of communication between the client and the site targeted by the clickthrough. The generation of such identifiers also has applicability in the field of text messages, e.g. sent out by a publicity agent, and actuable to connect to a telephone number held by an enterprise within the telephone network. Activation of such a text message results in the return of suitable identifiers to the publicity agent to enable them to seek remuneration from the enterprise.
