A technique efficiently manages bandwidth (BW) registration for multiple spanning tree options in a computer network. According to the novel technique, an entry bridge determines multiple spanning tree paths to other bridges of the network (namely, one or more available spanning trees rooted at one or more bridges of the network) and determines a utilized (registered) BW on each of those paths. Upon receiving a request to initiate BW registration for a data flow to a destination end point, e.g., from an application source end point, the entry bridge selects one of the spanning tree paths to utilize for the data flow. Selection of the spanning tree path from among the multiple available paths may be based on (i) available bandwidth of the paths, (ii) a shortest of the paths, and (iii) a lowest bridge identifier ID for the bridge root for the path. The entry bridge sends a registration message for the data flow towards the destination end point along the selected spanning tree path. If successful, the data flow is transmitted on the selected path. If not, the entry bridge attempts to register the data flow on a next best alternate spanning tree, e.g., until a successful registration or until a determination that no further alternate spanning trees exist.

Systems and methods are provided for protecting and managing electronic data signals that are registered in accordance with a predefined encoding scheme, while allowing access to unregistered data signals. In one embodiment a relatively hard-to-remove, easy-to-detect, strong watermark is inserted in a data signal. The data signal is divided into a sequence of blocks, and a digital signature for each block is embedded in the signal via a watermark. The data signal is then stored and distributed on, e.g., a compact disc, a DVD, or the like. When a user attempts to access or use a portion of the data signal, the signal is checked for the presence of a watermark containing the digital signature for the desired portion of the signal. If the watermark is found, the digital signature is extracted and used to verify the authenticity of the desired portion of the signal. If the signature-containing watermark is not found, the signal is checked for the presence of the strong watermark. If the strong watermark is found, further use of the signal is inhibited, as the presence of the strong watermark, in combination with the absence or corruption of the signature-containing watermark, provides evidence that the signal has been improperly modified. If, on the other hand, the strong mark is not found, further use of the data signal can be allowed, as the absence of the strong mark indicates that the data signal was never registered with the signature-containing watermark.

In one embodiment of the invention, service providers generate bloom filters with the user ID codes of registered users and exchange the bloom filters with one another. In response to a request to locate a first user, a first service provider will query its own registration database to determine if the first user is registered with the first service provider. If the first user is not registered with the first service provider, then the first service provider will query its bloom filters to identify other service providers with which the first user may be registered. A positive response from a bloom filter indicates that the first user may or may not be registered with the service provider associated with that bloom filter, and a negative response indicates with certainty that the first user is not registered with the service provider associated with that bloom filter.

The passive continuous authentication method uses biometric feedback to perform the authentication processes. Computer software and sensors are provided to acquire, memorize, and authenticate both the user's hard (facial) and soft (clothing) biometric information. A registration phase compels the user to register his / her face image into a registration database. Subsequently, the system permits the user to login the system based on facial recognition of the image presented by an attached webcam of the system. During a computing session the system repetitively authenticates the user's identity by comparing the user's acquired face image (hard biometric) to the registered face image in the database. A clothes color histogram (soft biometric) is also computed. The hard biometric recognition mainly decides the authentication result. Otherwise, clothes color histogram matching takes place to decide the result. When the user leaves the terminal the screen locks up. Successful authentication unlocks the screen upon user return.

A system for debugging a processor includes a logic circuit for communicating commands and data between an input / output port which operates at a first clock frequency, and trace control logic which operates at a second clock frequency that is different from the first clock frequency. In some embodiments, the input / output port is a JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) port operating at a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz and the trace control logic operates at a clock frequency of 33 Mhz, 66 MHz, 99 MHz, or 133 mhz. A suitable JTAG clock frequency is a minimum of either half the CPU internal clock frequency or 2.25 Mhz for synchronizing the internal signals between different clock frequencies. When the input / output port, which is typically a serial / parallel input / output port, writes data to debug registers, including ITCR, DCSR, soft-address, and RX-DATA registers, timing strobe signals to the registers are synchronized to a processor clock to reduce the synchronization logic for register bits that are used by the processor and trace control logic. By synchronizing the debug register data write operations to the processor clock timing, the data bits of the registers are used by the processor and the trace logic without further synchronization. Advantageously, the amount of synchronization logic is reduced. Synchronizing the signals that cross the blocks with different clock timing facilitates communication between the processor, the trace control logic, and the serial and parallel input / output ports and reduces the amount of synchronization logic.
