Systems and methods of conducting thermal management provide for transmitting average power data to a source device, where the source device has a thermal influence on a target device and the average power data is based on the thermal influence. Adjustable time window data may also be transmitted to the source device, where the time window defines the amount of time for determining and controlling the average power consumption of the source device.

In a CD-DA, encoded content in which audio information is encoded using a content key, the content key, and two usage right files are recorded in predetermined regions. The usage right files are a CD-DA usage right file having CD-DA usage rights, and a CD-R usage right file having CD-R usage rights. The usage rights recorded in the CD-DA usage right file regulate the usage on a CD-DA.

A recording medium is applicable to information service system for receiving and transmitting information when a terminal device on the user's side accesses an administrative server, which is a server device, using a communication line such as the Internet. This recording medium (10a) comprises a lead-in region (16a), a data recording region (14a) positioned on an outer region than the lead-in region, and a lead-out region (12a) positioned on an outer region than the data-recording region. In at...

A system including an application configured to request a key, a keystore configured to provide the key, wherein the keystore comprises a non-application specific directory, and an application-specific subdirectory.

To provide improved security in adjunct program modules such as plug-ins and dynamic link libraries, a requesting module provides an authorization interface to the invoked module such that the invoked module can require a certificate of the requesting module and can also challenge the authority of the requesting module. The certificate can include one or more permissions which are prerequisites for processing by the invoked module. The invoked module can challenge the authority of the requesting...

Data processing apparatus distributes a public key certificate and information about a private key to a user terminal as activation information separately from a terminal module. In the case where the public key certification is vulnerable, it transmits only the activation information again.

An authentication processing method and system includes an access control list on both a client system and a storage server system. The access control list stores authentication information for individual files. The authentication information is accessed and used to authenticate an application when the application requests access to a file. The client system adds information from the access control list to a data request sent to the storage server system. The storage server system controls acces...

A system and method that uses authentication inkblots to help computer system users first select and later recall authentication information from high entropy information spaces. An inkblot authentication module generates authentication inkblots from authentication inkblot seeds. On request, a security authority generates, stores and supplies an authentication inkblot seed set for a user. In response to an authentication inkblot, a user inputs one or more alphanumeric characters. The responses t...

A method includes generating new update name lists and providing malicious code protection update information including the new update name lists to host computer systems. In one embodiment, the new update name lists are generated by registering domain names, and only a subset of the registered domain names are used to create an update name list provided to any one of the host computer systems.

A system, method and computer program product are provided. Commands are received for executing a risk-assessment scan from a remote computer utilizing a network. The commands are processed on a local computer utilizing an agent. Further, the risk-assessment scan is performed on the local computer in accordance with the processed commands to remotely detect local vulnerabilities on the local computer. Such agent includes a plurality of risk-assessment modules. Further, the commands execute the r...
