20100058317Method for provisioning trusted software to an electronic device - The operations required to verify the origin and the authenticity of a software module for an electronic device can advantageously be divided between a general-purpose computer, hereinafter the host, having the electronic device attached to it, and the electronic device itself. More specifically, memory and processing intensive tasks such as syntax checking are done at the host, while security-critical tasks such as cryptographic verifications are done at the electronic device. The present invention thus provides a method for updating software on an electronic device in a trusted way, wherein verification steps are divided between a host system connected to the electronic device, and the electronic device itself. The present invention thus further provides a storage medium containing a program for a host system, causing this host system to perform verification steps with respect to a software update for an attached electronic device, and to appropriately interact with said electronic device.03-04-2010

20080216053Testing Measurements - Embodiments of the invention include an arbiter facility included in a test script. The arbiter facility includes properties defining a method for evaluating the status of a step or process, a method for evaluating verification point results and the steps to execute during execution of the test script. The arbiter facility operates to control the flow of the processes performed that form the test script. The control of the processes that are performed are based on explicit rules or conditions. The rules implemented by the arbiter facility can result in different processes within the test script being performed based on data processed by the arbiter facility. Moreover, aspects of the invention embodied by the arbiter facility implement rules which explicitly express, within the test case, the value (e.g., weight, importance, etc.) of individual operations. In the exemplary embodiment, the value of one or more individual operations are explicitly expressed by the rules (e.g., computations, calculations, determinations, etc.) that are imposed on the results returned to the arbiter facility by the various verification points within the test script. Accordingly and advantageously, analysis on the value of a verification point may be performed prior to implementing or executing a test script. This analysis may then be reflected in the rule implemented in the arbiter facility.09-04-2008

20110314466CREATING INSTANCES OF CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS - Embodiments of the present invention provide a flexible approach to construct/create instances of cloud computing environments. Specifically, under embodiments of the present invention, an image of a virtual machine instance is created from the following components: image bits; content such as the liner notes, manual, metadata, etc.; end user information (so that the image can be customized for one or more specific end users); values provided to an installer; and cloud based values (e.g., IP address, hostname, etc.). By constructing the virtual machine using this approach, dynamic aspects of the image are managed external to the static binary representation of the image. This would include artifacts such as documentation, install scripts, binary files, etc. Additionally, user supplied data can be captured dynamically and copied to customize the image at the time of instance creation. Still yet, embodiments of the present invention provides system level configuration to construct the virtual machine.12-22-2011
