| 20090089568 | Securely Launching Encrypted Operating Systems - Tools and techniques for securely launching encrypted operating systems are described herein. The tools may provide computing systems that include operating systems (OSs) that define boot paths for the systems. This boot path may include first and second OS loader components. The first loader may include instructions for retrieving a list of disk sectors from a first store, and for retrieving these specified sectors from an encrypted second store. The first loader may also store the sectors in a third store that is accessible to both the first and the second loader components, and may invoke the second loader to try launching the OS using these sectors. In turn, the second loader may include instructions for retrieving these sectors from the third store, and for unsealing a key for decrypting these sectors. The second loader may then decrypt these sectors, and attempt to launch the OS from these sectors. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090100516 | Secure Bait and Switch Resume - Procedures for resumption from a low activity condition are discussed. In implementations, a persistent state file, or a portion thereof, is secured via an encryption algorithm, with the decryption key secured via the operating system (OS) login user credentials.

| 20090327705 | ATTESTED CONTENT PROTECTION - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for protecting content. Embodiments of the invention permit a local machine increased participation in authorizing access to protected content. An operating system attests to a computing environment at a corresponding computer system. If the computing environment is one permitted to access protected content, the operating system is permitted to regulate further (e.g., application) access to protected content in accordance with a procreation policy. As such, authorization decisions are partially distributed, easing the resource burden on a content protection server. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention can facilitate more robust and efficient authorization decisions when access to protected content is requested. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110209213 | AUTHORIZATION LOGIC IN MEMORY CONSTRAINED SECURITY DEVICE - Architecture that utilizes logical combinations (e.g., of Boolean logic) of authorizations as a logical authorization expression that is computed through a proofing process to a single proof value which equates to authorizing access to an intended entity. The authorizations are accumulated and processed incrementally according to an evaluation order defined in the authorization expression. The logical combinations can include Boolean operations that evaluate to a proof value associated with a sum of products expression (e.g., combinations of AND, OR, etc.). The incremental evaluations output corresponding hash values as statistically unique identifiers used in a secure hash algorithm that when evaluated in order allow execution of a specific command to access the entity. The architecture, employed in a trust module, uses minimal internal trust module state, and can be employed as part of a device system that handles trust processing to obtain authorization to access the intended entity. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090125716 | COMPUTER INITIALIZATION FOR SECURE KERNEL - Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) mechanisms can be initiated, not by CPU-manufacturer-specific instructions, but by the execution of code in System Management Mode (SMM) that can modify the values stored in specific Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The SMM code can be verified prior to execution and it can be trusted based on the secure mechanisms used to update such code. The SMM code can restore a known, trusted state of the computing device and can initiate the measuring of subsequently executed code. In such a manner the Trusted Computing Base (TCB) can be limited. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100088525 | EXTERNAL ENCRYPTION AND RECOVERY MANAGEMENT WITH HARDWARE ENCRYPTED STORAGE DEVICES - Hardware encrypting storage devices can provide for hardware encryption of data being written to the storage media of such storage devices, and hardware decryption of data being read from that storage media. To utilize existing key management resources, which can be more flexible and accommodating, mechanisms for storing keys protected by the existing resources, but not the hardware encryption of the storage device, can be developed. Dedicated partitions that do not have corresponding encryption bands can be utilized to store keys in a non-hardware-encrypted manner. Likewise, partitions can be defined larger than their associated encryption bands, leaving room near the beginning and end for non-hardware encrypted storage. Or a separate bit can be used to individually specify which data should be hardware encrypted. Additionally automated processes can maintain synchronization between a partition table of the computing device and a band table of the hardware encrypting storage device. | 04-08-2010 |
