A Secure Key Management Framework (SKMF) defines an infrastructure for a complete set of cryptographic services augmented with key recovery enablement. There are three major layers-the application layer invokes the SKMF layer, while the SKMF layer invokes the service provider (SP) layer. The application layer code invokes the cryptographic API and key-recovery API supported by the SKMF. Multiple key recovery mechanisms and cryptographic mechanisms can be implemented as service providers that log-in underneath the framework using the well-defined service provider interfaces provided by the framework. The SKMF implements the supported ATP calls by making appropriate invocations of the service provider modules using the SPIs.

A system for motion control in which an application is developed that is independent from the actual motion control hardware used to implement the system. The system comprises a software system that employs an application programming interface comprising component functions and a service provider interface comprising driver functions. A system programmer writes an application that calls the component functions. Code associated with the component functions relates these functions to the driver functions. A hardware designer writes driver code that implements the driver functions on a given motion control hardware product. The driver functions are separated into core and extended driver functions. All software drivers implement the core driver functions, while the software drivers need not contain code for implementing the extended driver functions. If the software driver does not contain code to implement an extended driver function, the functionality of the extended driver function is obtained through a combination of core driver functions. The system programmer may also select one or more streams that allow the control commands to be communicated to, and response data to be communicated from, motion control hardware.

A user may be willing to purchase items or participate in a pay-for service offered by a service provider. A service provider may wish to verify characteristics of the user prior to allowing transactions to take place, and may want to secure the transactions once the transactions are allowed. A credential issued to a user and a transaction application uploaded to a user device may be used to secure transactions between the user and a service provider interface, such as a webserver or a point-of-sale. The transaction application may capture real-time user data and comparing the real-time user data to prior user data stored on the credential, authenticate the service provider interface to the user and the user to the service provider interface; and establish an encrypted session between the service provider interface and the transaction application adapted to authenticate the transactions between the user and the service provider interface.

A document management (DM), data leak prevention (DLP) or similar application in a data processing system is instrumented with a document protection service provider interface (SPI). The service provider interface is used to call an external function, such as an encryption utility, that is used to facilitate secure document exchange between a sending entity and a receiving entity. The encryption utility may be configured for local download to and installation in the machine on which the SPI is invoked, but a preferred approach is to use the SPI to invoke an external encryption utility as a “service.” In such case, the external encryption utility is implemented by a service provider. When the calling program invokes the SPI, preferably the user is provided with a display panel. Using that panel, the end user provides a password that is used for encryption key generation, together with an indication of the desired encryption strength. The service provider uses the password to generate the encryption key. In one embodiment, the service provider provides the key to the service provider interface, which then uses the key to encrypt the document and to complete the file transfer operation. In the alternative, the service provider itself performs the document or file encryption. The service provider interface also preferably generates and sends an email or other message to the receiving entity that includes the key or a link to enable the receiving entity to retrieve the key. This approach obviates the sending and receiving entity having to install and manage matched or other special-purpose encryption utilities.
