20150304426 | METHOD OF MANAGING AN APPLICATION IN A SECURE ELEMENT - The invention is a method of managing an application embedded in a secure element which is able to communicate with another device through a HTTP session. The application has previously registered for being triggered when a preset event will occur into the secure element. The triggering of the application is blocked as a HTTP session is in progress between the secure element and the device when the preset event occurs. | 10-22-2015 |
20150127937 | SERVER & METHOD FOR SECURE AND ECONOMICAL SHARING OF DATA - The present invention relates to a web server having a web application using published API of one or more cloud storage providers, said web application being dedicated to secure and economical sharing of encrypted files residing at the cloud storage providers, said files being managed under a virtual folder which is shared by a group of different entities. | 05-07-2015 |
20110083017 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USING CRYPTOGRAPHIC MECHANISMS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO A PORTABLE DEVICE USING INTEGRATED AUTHENTICATION USING ANOTHER PORTABLE DEVICE - A method and system for providing authentication of a user to a first peripheral device connected to a host computer using an authentication of the user on a second peripheral device, thereby allowing the user access to both devices through a single authentication. A security function on the second peripheral device is used to create an authorization phrase. Subsequent accesses to the first peripheral device requires the second peripheral device to re-create the same authorization phrase thereby demonstrating that the same second peripheral device is being used to access the first peripheral device and that a user was successfully authenticated to the second peripheral device. Other systems and methods are disclosed. | 04-07-2011 |
20100023777 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURE FIRMWARE UPDATE OF A SECURE TOKEN HAVING A FLASH MEMORY CONTROLLER AND A SMART CARD - A system and method of operating a device to securely update the control firmware controlling the device. Downloading a firmware update package to a first microcontroller of the device. Determining a firmware update portion and an encrypted hash portion of the firmware update package wherein the encrypted hash portion is cryptographically signed by a signatory. Confirm that the encrypted hash portion conforms to the firmware update by independently computing the hash of the encrypted firmware update portion on the first microcontroller and comparing that value to the signed hash. Other systems and methods are disclosed. | 01-28-2010 |
20100023650 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A SMART CARD IN CONJUNCTION WITH A FLASH MEMORY CONTROLLER TO DETECT LOGON AUTHENTICATION - A system and method of operating a device connected to a host computer in a manner to preserve knowledge of logon authentication status to the host computer. Upon initialization of the device perform a pattern matching operation of an instruction sequence received by the second microcontroller. When the instruction sequence matches a prestored sequence indicative of performance of a logon process on the host computer tracking a logon state by the second microcontroller. Exchanging the logon state between the second and first microcontrollers such that when the second microcontroller resets, the second microcontroller may recover the logon state from the first microcontroller. Other systems and methods are disclosed. | 01-28-2010 |
20090125645 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE TOKENS HAVING A SMART CARD TO CONTROL PARAMETERS OF A FLASH MEMORY DEVICE - A system and method to control a device having at least one configurable parameter. Enumerating the device as a first peripheral device and as a second peripheral device wherein the first peripheral device corresponds to a first microcontroller connected to a storage medium and the second peripheral device corresponds to a second microcontroller. Controlling the at least one configurable parameter of the first microcontroller with respect to the storage medium by the second microcontroller. On initialization of the device, transmitting the at least one configurable parameter from the second microcontroller to the first microcontroller. Other systems and methods are disclosed. | 05-14-2009 |
20090125643 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DRIVE RESIZING AND PARTITION SIZE EXCHANGE BETWEEN A FLASH MEMORY CONTROLLER AND A SMART CARD - A system and method to control a device having at least one configurable parameter. Enumerating the device as a first peripheral device and as a second peripheral device wherein the first peripheral device corresponds to a first microcontroller connected to a storage medium and the second peripheral device corresponds to a second microcontroller. Controlling the at least one configurable parameter of the first microcontroller with respect to the storage medium by the second microcontroller. On initialization of the device, transmitting the at least one configurable parameter from the second microcontroller to the first microcontroller. Other systems and methods are disclosed. | 05-14-2009 |
20090064301 | System and Method for Browser Based Access to Smart Cards - A client-side application extension executable on a host computer from within a web-browser having the capability of executing at least one web-browser add-on to provide a user access to a smart card, connected to the host computer having a smart card resource manager, via the web-browser. The web-browser extension has instructions to direct the central processing unit to access data on the smart card via a web-browser and platform independent interface module and a web-browser and platform dependent wrapper module connected to the web-browser and platform independent interface module and to the smart card resource manager having a function processing module operable to receive a call to the at least one function for accessing data on the smart card and for transforming the function call into a corresponding call to the smart card resource manager. | 03-05-2009 |
