A network authentication system provides verification of the identity or other attributes of a network user to conduct a transaction, access data or avail themselves of other resources. The user is presented with a hierarchy of queries based on wallet-type (basic identification) and non-wallet type (more private) information designed to ensure the identity of the user and prevent fraud, false negatives and other undesirable results. A preprocessing stage may be employed to ensure correct formatting of the input information and clean up routine mistakes (such as missing digits, typos, etc.) that might otherwise halt the transaction. Queries can be presented in interactive, batch processed or other format. The authenticator can be configured to require differing levels of input or award differing levels of authentication according to security criteria.

Techniques for dynamically altering security criteria used in a file security system are disclosed. The security criteria pertains to keys (or ciphers) used by the file security system to encrypt electronic files to be secured or to decrypt electronic files already secured. The security criteria can, among other things, include keys that are required to gain access to electronic files. Here, the keys can be changed automatically as electronic files transition between different states of a process-driven security policy. The dynamic alteration of security criteria enhances the flexibility and robustness of the security system. In other words, access restrictions on electronic files can be dependent on the state of the process-driven security policy.

Techniques for utilizing security criteria to implement document retention for electronic documents are disclosed. The security criteria can also limit when, how and where access to the electronic documents is permitted. The security criteria can pertain to keys (or ciphers) used to secure (e.g., encrypt) electronic files (namely, electronic documents), or to unsecure (e.g., decrypt) electronic files already secured. At least a portion of the security criteria can be used to implement document retention, namely, a document retention policy. After a secured electronic document has been retained for the duration of the document retention policy, the associated security criteria becomes no longer available, thus preventing subsequent access to the secured electronic document. In other words, access restrictions on electronic documents can be used to prevent access to electronic documents which are no longer to be retained.

Electrical communications between the electronic circuitry, the mirror element, and the user interface utilize connectors configured to exert a low contact force, onto the mirror element, limited in part by the strength of adhesive affixing the EC element to an element of the housing of the assembly.

Disclosed is a fastener driving apparatus for driving fasteners into a substrate. The fastener driving apparatus is a combination of a motor driven linear motion converter; a compression cylinder; an expansion cylinder and a valve arrangement. The linear motion converter converts a rotational motion of a motor to a linear motion of a compression piston within the compression cylinder causing a gas within the compression cylinder to be compressed. The compressed gas is communicated to the expansion cylinder through the valve arrangement wherein the compressed gas expands causing an anvil coupled to an expansion piston within the expansion cylinder to move axially. The axial movement of the anvil causes a fastener to be driven into the substrate. The fastener driving apparatus is an ergonomically designed portable hand held tool providing comfort to a user, meeting safety standards and performance efficiency requirements.

Techniques for utilizing time-based security criteria in a file security system are disclosed. At least a portion of the security criteria can have a time associated therewith (i.e., time-based security criteria) that serves as a time-based restriction on the ability to gain access to electronic files. If the time-based restriction is not satisfied, then the associated security criteria is not made available and thus access to a secured electronic file is prevented. In other words, access restrictions on electronic files can be dependent on the time at which access to the electronic files is attempted. The security criteria can pertain to keys (or ciphers) used by the file security system to secure (e.g., encrypt) electronic files to be secured, or to unsecure (e.g., decrypt) electronic files already secured.

Improved approaches for providing notifications in a distributed file security system are disclosed. The file security system includes a file security server that manages file security for a plurality of clients. When security criteria (e.g., security policies or rules) change at the file security system, typically the clients need to be notified so that they operate in accordance with the correct security criteria. The security criteria impacts whether a particular client (or its user) are able to access certain files being protected by the file security system. A client can be notified in different ways depending on network characteristics. In one embodiment, an appropriate way to perform notifications between the file security server and clients can be automatically determined, thus advantageously minimizing user impact and allowing the system to transparently adapt to different networks.

Portable electronic storage devices with hardware based security are described. According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a portable electronic storage device (PESD) comprises a security engine integrated thereon. The security engine is configured to provide data encryption, data decryption, and encryption / decryption key (referred to as a key) generation according to a security standard (e.g., Advance Encryption Standard (AES)). AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm processing data in block of 128 bits. Under the influence of a key, a 128-bit data block is encrypted by transforming the data block in a unique way into a new data block of the same size. AES is symmetric sine the same key is used for encryption and the reverse transformation (i.e., decryption). The only secret necessary to keep for security is the key. AES may use different key-lengths (i.e., 128-bit, 192-bits and 256-bits).
