| 20110246788 | DATA SECURITY SYSTEM FOR A DATABASE - A method and an apparatus for processing data provides protection for the data. The data is stored as encrypted data element values (DV) in records (P) in a first database (0-DB), each data element value being linked to a corresponding data element type (DT). In a second database (IAM-DB), a data element protection catalogue (DC) is stored, which for each individual data element type (DT) contains one or more protection attributes stating processing rules for data element values (DV), which in the first database (0-DB) are linked to the individual data element type (DT). In each user-initiated measure which aims at processing a given data element value (DV) in the first database (0-DB), a calling is initially sent to the data element protection catalogue for collecting the protection attribute/attributes associated with the corresponding data element types. The user's processing of the given data element value is controlled in conformity with the collected protection attribute/attributes. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20100325443 | Differential encryption utilizing trust modes - Systems and methods are provided for data protection across connected, disconnected, attended, and unattended environments. Embodiments of the inventions may include differential encryption based on network connectivity, attended/unattended status, or a combination thereof. Additional embodiments of the invention incorporate “trust windows” that provide granular and flexible data access as function of the parameters under which sensitive data is accessed. Further embodiments refine the trust windows concept by incorporating dynamic intrusion detection techniques. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100153748 | Method for reencryption of a database - The present invention relates to a method for encryption of the content in a database, for accomplishing increased protection against unauthorised access to the data. The method assures that every row and item is re-encrypted with a valid key. More specifically this process, the so-called KeyLife process, is executed every time a row is inserted, updated or retrieved after a scanning operation. The key life value, defining the number of days a key is valid for each item, could differ for the items, and could typically be between 30 and 90 days. The scanning operation, checking the validity of the presently used keys, the so-called KeyLife checking, is executed each time a new key generation is created. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100031321 | Method and system for preventing impersonation of computer system user - A system and method for preventing an administrator impersonating a user from accessing sensitive resources on a target system is provided. The method comprises receiving a first request from a user to change the user's password on a target system to be changed, sending a “change password” request for the user to the target system, storing the user's new password, receiving a second request from the target system on behalf of the user for access to a sensitive resource, wherein the second request contains information about the user's password, and denying the second request if the information about the user's password is not consistent with the user's stored new password. | 02-04-2010 |
