20120314865 | NFC Communications Device for Setting Up Encrypted Email Communication - NFC communication is utilized to provide methods, apparatus and systems for increasing the security of cryptographic keys and cryptographic processes. For the encryption and decryption of a message, public key cryptography requires the use of a pair of keys, i.e., the public key and the private key. Various embodiments of the present invention provide storage of information needed for one or more aspects of encrypting and/or decrypting messages, wherein that information is made available through an NFC communications interface. An NFC-enabled device is brought into physical proximity with a computational platform that is executing, or otherwise providing access to, an email client. Once the NFC-enabled device and the computational platform are within NFC communication range of each other, transfer of information needed to set up an encryption and/or decryption process takes place. Since the encryption/decryption keys and/or related cryptographic process parameters are not stored on the computational platform the security of this information is improved. In some embodiments the encrypted communication is encrypted email, or PUP encrypted email. | 12-13-2012 |

20120302163 | Methods and Apparatus for Controlling State and Functionality of an Electronic Component Through Motion-Awareness - Methods and apparatus for operating an electronic component, such as an NEC communication device, allow performance of at least one operation based, at least in part, on the relative positions and/or motions of the electronic component over time. Information regarding motion of the electronic component is used to determine one or more actions, or one or more state changes of the electronic component. Such an electronic component is motion-aware. Since this motion-awareness gives the electronic component the ability to take one or more actions, or to make one or more state changes, based, at least in part, on information indicative of its relative position or motions over time, various states and/or functions of the electronic device may be initiated and/or controlled by subjecting it to one or more movements or motions. | 11-29-2012 |
