| 20110271119 | Secure Data Storage and Transfer for Portable Data Storage Devices - Embodiments of system and method for protection of data in a portable data storage device are provided. In one aspect, a portable data storage device includes a first portable storage identification (PSID) parameter unique to the portable data storage device, one or more data storage media in which the first PSID parameter is stored, and control logic coupled to the one or more data storage media. The one or more data storage media include a data file section to store therein a data file, which includes data and a rights object. The rights object contains a second PSID parameter. The control logic controls access to the one or more data storage media by a user of the portable data storage device. The control logic determines whether or not the first PSID parameter and the second PSID parameter are equal and, if the first PSID parameter and the second PSID parameter are equal, causes the data in the data file to be provided to the user in response to a request for the data from the user. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110270762 | Secure Data Transfer From a Vending Device to Portable Data Storage Devices - Techniques for transferring secured data from a vending device to a portable data storage device are described herein. The vending device receives a request from a user of the portable data storage device for digital contents to be stored on the portable data storage device and requests for a payment for the requested digital contents to be paid by the user. The vending device locates a first portable storage identification (PSID) parameter unique to the portable data storage device, and then generates a rights object including a second PSID parameter that is equal to the first PSID parameter to prevent the digital contents from being accessed at a data storage medium other than the portable data storage device. It is to be appreciated some or all of the above processing, such as location or generation of parameters, can be completed by a back-end device separate from the vending device. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110185175 | Authentication Method and System for Online Gaming - Embodiments of an authentication technique for online gaming are provided. In one aspect, an authentication method for online gaming includes storing a user identity of a user in a portable data storage device; providing access to the user identity for an authentication server to authenticate the user such that the authentication server allows the user to participate in online gaming when the user is authenticated; and when the online gaming continues, providing access to the user identity for the authentication server to validate the authenticity of the user at a first threshold time after the user identity is accessed previously. | 07-28-2011 |
