20120111719 | Multilayer self-decontaminating coatings - A layered construction for use in decontaminating a surface or enclosed space is described. The construction is an electrochemical cell which includes a cathode, an electrolyte layer, an anode and a protective surface layer. A precursor compound that can be electrically decomposed to release an oxidant, on demand and over an extended period of time, is included in the layered structure, preferably in the electrolyte layer. The oxidant compounds react with various different chemical or biological contaminants in contact the protective layer, thereby deactivating, destroying or devitalizing the contaminants. The layered construction is suitable for application to a device or substrate, or placement in an enclosed space, and can be used on sensitive surfaces such as electronic components and human skin. | 05-10-2012 |

20090327722 | Transient Protection Key Derivation in a Computing Device - A computing device is arranged to use any possible permutation of methods available to it to authenticate a user, without needing to persistently store any unencrypted data that can be used in authentication, such data only ever being held in transient memory. A user of the device is provided with their own unique common protection key (CPK) which can be used to guard or encrypt sensitive data and functionality. Each authentication method is guaranteed to return a unique consistent identification sequence (CIS) each time it is employed by any specific user. When a user registers on the device, the CIS from each authentication method is used to generate a key which in turn is used to encrypt the CPK; this E(CPK) is then stored in a table indexed by user and authentication method. Neither the CPK nor any CIS are ever kept on the device except in transient memory. When authentication is sought, the CIS for each requested method is obtained and is used to regenerate the key that can be used to decrypt the E(CPK). All the CPKs thus decrypted must match for authentication to be granted. | 12-31-2009 |
20100058464 | Implementing a Process-Based Protection System in a User-Based Protection Environment in a Computing Device - A computing device having a security model based on user permissions is provided with an ability to emulate a security model based on process capabilities by providing each executable program on the device with a separate user identity. | 03-04-2010 |
20100115269 | Revoking Malware in a Computing Device - A computing device is operated in a manner which provides improved checking to determine whether or not an authentication certificate for a software application being loaded onto the device has been revoked. In the case of trusted certificate chains that contain no revocation information, the device checks using an AuthorityInfoAccess extension (AIA) as selected by the device. In the case of untrusted certificate chains, notably including self-signed certificates, the device is controlled so that it ignores any authentication revocation information provided with the software application and always uses information stored on the device. | 05-06-2010 |
20100144274 | Systems, Methods, and Apparatuses for Determining Proximity Between Computing Apparatuses - Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for determining proximity between computing apparatuses.

The method may further include determining received signal strengths of the electromagnetic transmissions. The method may additionally include determining proximities between the first computing apparatus and each of the second computing apparatuses based at least in part upon transmit signal strengths and the received signal strengths. The method may also include generating a list listing the second computing apparatuses and providing an indication of the determined proximities of the second computing apparatuses. Corresponding apparatuses and systems are also provided. | 06-10-2010 |
20100306517 | SECURITY OF OPERATION OF A COMPUTING DEVICE THROUGH THE USE OF VENDOR IDS - An installer for a computing device determines firstly whether or not a software package for installation has been signed. If the package is signed it is installed on the device. However, if the package is unsigned, the installer will only install the package on the device if it contains a non-null VID (vendor identity). | 12-02-2010 |
