20080229110 | FAST AUTHENTICATION OVER SLOW CHANNELS - A method of providing secure communications over a network includes receiving, at a receiving computer, a public key of a sending computer, and a hash of a sending random number over a first communication channel, transmitting, from the receiving computer, a public key of the receiving computer and a receiving random number provided by the receiving computer over the first communication channel, and receiving, at the receiving computer, the sending random number provided by the sending computer over the first communication channel. | 09-18-2008 |
20080317042 | EXTENSIBLE FRAMEWORK FOR COMPATIBILITY TESTING - A method of receiving mobile code includes receiving, from a source node, a dependency descriptor describing at least one permitted configuration, each configuration comprising necessary conditions on a destination node to execute mobile code, executing, on the destination node, checker code associated with the conditions described in the dependency descriptor, and, if at least one configuration is compatible, receiving the mobile code at the destination node. | 12-25-2008 |
20090187982 | Systems and methods for authenticating communications in a network medium - A system and method for sharing files securely includes server software on a first device configured to communicate with server software operating on one or more other preauthorized devices, such as a second device. The servers communicate with each other securely using cryptographic information exchanged during a preauthorization phase using a range-limited communication channel. The server on the first device obtains file information from the other preauthorized device(s) and combines the information with local file information from the first device. This combined file information is sent to client software operating on the machine, which presents the combined file information to users. | 07-23-2009 |
20110134847 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVISIONING SECURE WIRELESS SENSORS - We present technology that allows layman computer users to simply create, provision, and maintain secured infrastructure—an instant PKI. This technology can be used in a wide variety of applications including wired and wireless networks, secure sensor networks (such as medical networks), emergency alert networks, as well as simply and automatically provisioning network devices whether secure or not. | 06-09-2011 |
20110219358 | EXTENSIBLE FRAMEWORK FOR COMPATIBILITY TESTING - A method of receiving mobile code includes receiving, from a source node, a dependency descriptor describing at least one permitted configuration, each configuration comprising necessary conditions on a destination node to execute mobile code, executing, on the destination node, checker code associated with the conditions described in the dependency descriptor, and, if at least one configuration is compatible, receiving the mobile code at the destination node. | 09-08-2011 |
20150295901 | AUTO-USER REGISTRATION AND UNLOCKING OF A COMPUTING DEVICE - A computing device provides an indication that the computing device accepts dynamic user registration of user accounts over a wireless connection. A wireless mobile device automatically connects to the computing device, establishes an encrypted connection, and receives, over the encrypted connection, and passes an encrypted account token over the encrypted connection to the computing device, all without physical interaction with the computing device. The computing device automatically contacts a remote account server to retrieve a user account associated with the account token and registers the user account with the device. | 10-15-2015 |
20150296074 | LIMITING USER INTERACTION WITH A COMPUTING DEVICE BASED ON PROXIMITY OF A USER - A first computing device monitors a presence of a second computing device, and determines when the second computing device has moved out of an area proximate to the first computing device. In response to determining that the second computer moved out of the area, the first computing device is automatically configured to limit user interaction with one or more applications currently operating on the first computing device to a predetermined set of commands while preventing user interaction with other applications provided by the first computing device. | 10-15-2015 |
