A copy instruction executed by a functional-level instruction-set computing (FLIC) processor copies a variable-length data block from one resource to another resource through a cross-bar switch. Resources include general-purpose registers, input, output, and execution buffers, DRAM, SRAM, and other memory. A copy-with-validate instruction has an operand pointing to a first rule in an immediate rule table. The first rule controls validation of a first data-item in the data being copied. Validation includes range and equality checking of the data-item. The value of the data-item or the current offset can be written to a register. A format field in the rule indicates the size of the data-item, or the size is read from the data-item for variable-size formats. The current offset is incremented by the size. The next data-item is validated by a next rule, and other rules in the immediate table control validation of other data-items in the data block.

A computer implemented method and system is provided for validating a user associated with one or more social networks. A validation platform associated with the social networks is provided. The validation platform identifies a user for the validation from the social networks. The validation platform retrieves social information of the identified user from the social networks. The social information comprises relationship information of and between the identified user and social contacts of the identified user on the social networks. The validation platform acquires feedback on the identified user from one or more of the social contacts. The validation platform generates one or more validation scores, for example, an evaluation score, a feedback authentication score, a user authentication score, a composite score, etc., for the identified user based on the retrieved social information and / or the acquired feedback. The generated validation scores enable validation of the user associated with the social networks.

A claim pre-processing system employs trial adjudication to improve claim accuracy prior to claim submission to a healthcare payer institution or other entity. A system processes claim data related to provision of healthcare to a patient The system includes a claim data collator for collating data related to a claim for a particular patient for submission to a payer and a source of rules for use in processing collated claim data. A pre-processor submits the collated claim data for processing using the rules to validate the collated claim data is in condition for processing to initiate generation of payment. A claim processor submits the collated claim data to a payer, in response to successful validation by the pre-processor. A rules processor processes acquired claim data to identify a condition triggering application of a different set of rules for determining validity of an individual claim element. The pre-processor resubmits amended collated claim data for processing using the rules to validate the collated claim data is in condition for processing to initiate generation of payment, the amended collated claim data being received in response to unsuccessful validation using the rules.

Electronic documents are validated through application of a set of validation rules. One example of an electronic document to be validated has main data and view portions, wherein the main data portion can be parsed separately from the view portion, and the view portion includes presentation formatting for providing a display corresponding to the main data portion. There, the validation rules include comparison rules for determining whether a display provided by the view portion substantially matches the main data portion. Linking elements in the electronic document that point to corresponding information field in the view and main data portions can accommodate the matching comparison. Other types of validation rules include membership rules and reference identifier rules, and various document views corresponding to a given transaction can be separately validated.

A forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications. Before applying, an applicant opens an account with a third party application servicer. After the applicant completes an application for one institution, the data is saved in a data base and automatically populates fields in subsequent application forms. The form for each institution is created from a form description file. Each form is branded for its institution and forms for different institutions differ in appearance and content so that the presence of the third party servicer is transparent to the applicant.The system is extensible without programming, allowing new applicant attributes to be readily incorporated into the system and allowing the content and appearance of the application to be readily changed by changing the description file. The use of aliases for applicant attributes permits data to be readily shared between forms even though labeled and arranged differently on different forms. Information stored about each attribute allows the specification of data validation rules and data sharing and grouping rules, as well as dependency rules that permit application page content to depend on applicant's responses on a previous page.

The utility of a portable consumer device is extended by allowing account holders the ability to gain entry into access-controlled venues (e.g., baseball or soccer game, cinema, public transit) using a portable consumer device that is associated with an account that was used to purchase the admission or tickets to the event at the access-controlled venue. Techniques disclosed allow cardholder authentication in a non-payment setting that enables cardholders access to a location or a specific event. A first validation cryptogram is generated in the purchase cycle and is stored. A second validation cryptogram is generated in the validation cycle at the venue. If the second validation cryptogram matches the first validation cryptogram, the consumer is granted access. Validation cryptograms may be based on input data that is specific to the payment card holder (e.g., primary account number), specific to the ticket selling merchant (e.g., merchant identifier), specific to the event (e.g., event identifier, date / time, location, etc.), and / or specific to the transaction (e.g., authorization code from a payment network). Based on the input data, validation cryptograms may be generated using encryption, hashing, a combination of encryption and hashing, and / or other operations on the input data.

Such an architecture provides sufficient flexibility to disable certain validations when they are not applicable to the flow, interpret validation failures differently according to requirements of the calling application, and specify the type of document for which a particular validation is applicable. The architecture provides a standardized flow for performing data validation, specifying a set of required parameters for validation subroutines, as well as where validation results are to be stored for access by a calling program. Such an architecture also provides a framework for performing common processing required for most validation flows without restricting the flexibility of the validation subroutines.

The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for validating invoices for transactions between trading partners that occur across jurisdictional borders (e.g., inter-country or inter-state transactions). Specifically, under the present invention, an invoice corresponding to a transaction between trading partners is electronically received (e.g., in an invoice processing system). Upon receipt, a purchaser tax jurisdiction (e.g., first country) and a seller tax jurisdiction (e.g., second country) corresponding to the transaction will be determined. Based on these jurisdictions and a set of categorization rules, a category of the transaction is determined. Using the category and a set of validation rules, a tax rate indicated on the invoice and other optional aspects (e.g., whether the invoice contains all required information) will be validated. Based on this validation it will be determined whether the overall invoice is valid or invalid.

The present invention relates to security techniques, and discloses a login token generation and authentication method, an electronic device thereof and a storage medium. That method comprises the steps of receiving account information and related information sent by a client, verifying the account information, and when the verification is passed, determining the access time of the client according to the mapping relationship between the related information and the preset related information and the access time. Then, according to the related information and the access time, the related information and the access time are encrypted by using a public key and a preset asymmetric encryption algorithm to generate a login token, and the login token is transmitted to the client. Finally, an access request of a client carrying a login token is received, whether the login token carried by the client is the generated login token is verified by using a preset authentication rule according to a private key corresponding to the public key, and permits the client to access if the authentication is passed. By using the method, the device thereof and the storage medium, the safety of informationexchange in the interaction process between the client and the server can be improved, and the hidden danger of safety can be reduced.

SP includes data collect module (DL), data pre-processing module (DP), data comparison module (DM), data sync, module (DS) and assistant module. Via SI, the business backup and bearing nets (BBB) realize mutual comm. between net elements (NE). From BBB, DL collects NE data requiring keeping coincident. DP / DM pre-processes and compares these data. Non-coincident data are recorded in the error list. According to availability test rule, DS verifies availability of data difference, generates corresponding synchronization data against valid data difference base on sync. rule and sends to related NE to keep coincidence of data between NEs. This invention raises data comparison synchronization level, system running efficiency and resource utilization. It ensures accuracy and coincidence of system data. It extensively is applied in multi-NE cooperation fields, such as comm., insurance and banking.

A metadata validation process that allows for deferring object model validation until after the objects are created. The process also allows for multi-threaded processing of the validation rules, thus increasing overall performance. Validation is performed by enforcing a series of validation rules on an appropriate subject. Rules are specified according to the subject that they are validating (i.e., attribute level, association level, object level or collection level). The metadata driven validation process implements several validation types on different validation units. Correctness validation rule types ensure that a validation unit satisfies all semantic rules defined for it. Completeness validation rule types ensure that a validation unit contains all the necessary data and is ready for further use. At design time, only correctness type validation is performed. Thus, the present invention advantageously allows for incomplete objects to be created at design time. The developer, however, in this case may opt to perform completeness validation at any time. In general, a developer may opt to perform completeness and / or correctness validation at any time independent of deployment processing. In another aspect, full validation (e.g., completeness and correctness) is automatically performed on the objects during the process of creating a configuration prior to deployment.

In a method for manufacturing instant lottery tickets where book numbers and ticket numbers are printed on the tickets utilizing a dual security process such that the book numbers are shuffled in each pool before the tickets are printed to break the link between the book numbers the ticket numbers or validation numbers, a reversing process can be used under certain predefined conditions to relate the original book numbers to the ticket numbers or validation numbers. In one example, where a shuffling algorithm utilizing seeds is used to shuffle the book numbers, the seeds used in the algorithm are maintained in an encrypted file. A decryption key for the encrypted seed file can be used by a lottery administration or trusted third party to reconstruct game play indicia for game adjustment purposes and manufacturing adjustments. To enhance security, the independent third party can also be used to administer the encryption and decryption keys during the ticket manufacturing process and during life of the instant ticket game.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems and computer-readable media for external localization of a software product. This external localization involves loading a base product having one or more calls to an operating system (or an API) to load language specific data. The calls are intercepted after the resource is loaded into a Resource loader, and queried whether the resource is identified in a restricted resource list such as a code signed dynamic linked library. If so, the translated resource is loaded from a specified language package. The loaded, and translated, resource is then checked against validation rules (which are also protected in a code signed resource list) to see if it is safe to use. If the resource is not on the list or the translated resource is not safe to use, the original resource is simply transferred to the application without modification from the resource loader, i.e., loaded from the base language file. This generates a localized product using a limited set of language specific data covering most situations. The translated or localized dialogs are then resized to accommodate the translated resource through one or more of a series of functions including automatic sizing, automatic layout descriptions, pre-calculated permissible sizes, and proportional stretching of the dialog sizes.

Methods performed by a validation one or a sender one of a plurality of nodes implemented by computing devices in a network. The sender node sends, to the validation node, a request to transfer an amount of virtual currency from a sender account (associated with transaction receipts) to a recipient account. The request includes first copies of the receipts or references thereto. The validation node requests second copies of the receipts from at least two of the nodes, and receives the second copies from fewer than all of the nodes. The validation node determines whether the first copies have been tampered with by comparing the first and second copies to one another. When tampering has not occurred, at least one new receipt is generated indicating the amount has been transferred. Then, the at least one new receipt is forwarded to fewer than all of the nodes for storage.

A program, method and apparatus for supporting creation of business process model diagram which are capable of realizing verifying a business process model created by using general-purpose drawing software and notifying an operation modeler of defective parts.
