Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for the issuance of a proxy digital certificate to a grid portal in distributed computing infrastructure through data transfer across a public network. More specifically, the invention concerns a method and a system for proxy digital certificate issuance from an end entity certificate to a grid portal of a distributed or grid computing infrastructure via a web browser, where the proxy digital certificate resides in a web server and the issuance of the proxy digital certificate may be applied on any web based application through a public network such as the Internet.
Abstract:
A trusted computer platform method and system is disclosed for a secure computer system without a trust credential. The platform provides a functionality of a secure or 'trusted computing' (TC) environment to prevent or block unauthorized computer programs or applications from running within the computer system and provide a fully trusted computer system having 1) endorsement key; 2) secure input and output; 3) memory curtaining / protected execution; 4) sealed storage; and 5) remote attestation. The trusted computer platform is an implementation that achieves at least a mechanism to proactively establish more trusted relationships for remote or local access through secure user authentication and machine attestation, protect encryption keys and digital signature keys to maintain data confidentiality and integrity, protect key operations and other security tasks that would otherwise be performed on unprotected interfaces in unprotected communications, or protect platform and user authentication information from software- based attacks.
