摘要:
An integrated circuit is provided for the authentication of a consumable storage device by an apparatus. The integrated circuit has a memory space which contains encrypted data defined by a message authentication code (MAC) applied to data relating to a consumable stored by the device. The MAC is a construction of an asymmetric cryptographic function whereby a public key KT stored by another integrated circuit of the apparatus is used to encrypt a random number generated by the another integrated circuit. A secret key KA stored by the integrated circuit is used to decrypt the encrypted random number. The decrypted random number is appended to data stored in the memory space. The secret key KA is used to encrypt the appended random number and data, and the public key KT is used to decrypt the encrypted random number appended to the data.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for processing an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) request in parallel to processing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) handshake. The method includes transmitting, by an OCSP responder of an intermediary device between a plurality of clients and one or more servers, an OCSP request to a OCSP server for a status of a client certificate responsive to receiving the client certificate from a client during a SSL handshake. The intermediary device may continue to perform remaining portions of the SSL handshake while the OCSP request to the OCSP server is outstanding. The intermediary device may establish an SSL connection for the SSL handshake. The intermediary device may determine whether to terminate or maintain the established SSL connection based on the status of the client certificate received via a response from the OCSP server.

A method of authenticating a digital signature is provided. The method includes sending a request from a first entity to a second entity, at least some of the request being digitally signed with a base key by the first entity, receiving, at the first entity, a digital signature and a bit-pattern from the second entity, the digital signature having been generated by the second entity using a variant key to digitally sign at least part of data indicative of a value stored in the second entity which is to be authenticated, the variant key being based on the result of applying a one way function to the base key and the bit-pattern, receiving the data at the first entity, generating, at the first entity, the variant key from the bit-pattern and the base key, and authenticating, at the first entity, the digital signature using the generated variant key. Only the first entity includes the base key and the second entity includes the variant key and the bit-pattern.

To authenticate a user of a communications network, credentials from the user are centrally receiving. An authentication sequence is retrieved from a plurality of retrievable authentication sequences, and the retrieved authentication sequence is performed to authenticate the user based on the received credentials.

An integrity record is appended to data slices prior to being sent to multiple slice storage units. Each of the data slices includes a different encoded version of the same data segment. An integrity indicator of each data slice is computed, and the integrity record is generated based on each of the individual integrity indicators, and may be, for example, list or a hash of the combined integrity indicators. When retrieving data slices from storage, the integrity record can be stripped off, a new integrity indicator of the data slice calculated, and a new integrity record created. The new integrity record can be compared to the original integrity record, and used to verify the integrity of the data slices.

The invention provides for tamper detection line circuitry for an authentication integrated circuit for use in authenticating an integrated circuit. The tamper detection line circuitry includes a source of pseudo-random bits, and an XOR gate with two inputs and an output in signal communication with flash memory erase and reset circuits, where a complete erasure is triggered by a 0 from the XOR gate. The circuitry also includes first and second paths arranging the source and XOR gate in signal communication with each other, the first path connected to one input of the XOR gate and the second path having an inverter and connected to a second input of the XOR gate. Also included are a number of triggers connected to the respective paths, each trigger configured to detect a physical attack on the authentication integrated circuit.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for authorizing an access requester to access a data communication network is provided. A determination is made that a threshold access control server cannot process an access request associated with the access requester. Access requester history data, or data that describes the access history for an access requester, is analyzed to obtain a threshold access level. A threshold access level is an expression of how likely that a particular access requester is a legitimate access requester. A session profile is selected for the access requester based on the threshold access level. The session profile indicates one or more actions the access requester is authorized to perform in the network. The session profile may subsequently be transmitted to the access requester to allow the access requester access to the network to the extent appropriate in view of the access requester history data.
摘要:
A method of hindering optical detection of a pattern of data being stored, moved or processed by at least one active circuit in an integrated circuit, the active circuit including at least first and second active devices that change state within a period of time, such that each device exhibits low resistance in one state and high resistance in another state, the method comprising controlling timing of the change of state of the first active device relative to the second active device so as to prevent the devices having simultaneous intermediate resistances between the low and high resistances, thereby to reduce optical emission by the at least one active circuit compared to causing the changes of state of the two devices to happen simultaneously.
