20110130660SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND IMAGING OF HETEROGENEITY USING SHEAR WAVE INDUCED RESONANCE - A system and a method for inducing resonance of a heterogeneity or a sample within a body, the system comprising a shear wave generator, and a detection unit; the shear wave generator generating shear waves applied to the body and selectively inducing mechanical resonances of the heterogeneity, the detection unit detecting the induced mechanical resonances. The induced resonance of the heterogeneity is achieved by applying to the body one of: i) shear waves substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the heterogeneity; ii) shear waves polarised substantially perpendicularly to said longitudinal axis; iii) shear waves substantially circumferential to the heterogeneity; and iv) planar shear waves.06-02-2011

20110087880REVOCATION OF CREDENTIALS IN SECRET HANDSHAKE PROTOCOLS - According to a general aspect, a computer-implemented method for a first user to verify an association with a second user through a secret handshake protocol includes maintaining information about a reusable identification handle for the first user, where the information about the reusable identification handle is provided by a trusted third party, maintaining information about a reusable credential for the first user, where the information about the reusable credential is provided by a trusted third party, and maintaining information about a matching reference for verifying an association with another user, where the information about the matching reference is provided by a trusted third party. Information based on the reusable identification handle and based on the reusable credential is transmitted to a potential peer. First information based on a reusable identification handle for the second user is received, and second information based on a reusable credential for the second user is received. A first comparison of a combination of the first information and the second information is performed with the matching reference to determine whether the second user's credentials match the first users matching reference. A second comparison of the first information with information published on a revocation list is performed to determine whether the second user's credentials have been revoked from usage. Based on the first comparison and the second comparison, a determination is made whether or not to verify the association of second user with the first user.04-14-2011
