Abstract:
A method and system for providing support for legacy protocols for remote method invocation on a computer system. An annotation in program source (913) is used to build a mapping data structure (909) appended to the executable program. During execution of an executable program legacy protocol messages are translated using the mapping data structure.
Abstract:
A portable secure network device and method to operate such a device to provide secure login, secure online transactions, and to prevent online identity theft. An embodiment of the invention may be constructed by inserting a network smart card (201a) into a card reader (205d), wherein either the card reader or the card itself has an output device and input device wherein the processor is programmed to execute according to instructions to cause the microprocessor: to produce a shared association secret; to display the shared association secret on the output device; and to transmit the shared association secret to the remote server(701) ; thereby ensuring that a user observing the output device and the remote server computer both possess the shared association secret.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device which comprises processor and memory means and which comprises software means (12,13,14,15) associated to said processor and memory means for implementing a customizing process onto authentication tokens such as smart cards which software means are at least partly made of code in script language (12,13,14), the device being characterized in that said software means are also partly made of code (15) of the type which is compiled from a programming source language so that code in script language and compiled code are both implemented in a same customizing process.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé de sécurisation d'un objet portatif personnel comportant un corps d'objet (11), une puce électronique (12), une impression d'image (13) et des moyens pour permettre une communication dudit objet avec le monde extérieur. L'invention se caractérise en ce que le procédé comporte des étapes de : - génération, à partir d'un fichier image, d'une séquence pseudo aléatoire et d'un algorithme d'insertion, d'un vecteur de caractéristiques images Vsi(num), d'une clé secrète S et d'une signature de l'image stockés dans la puce électronique; - génération, à partir d'un signal de l'impression d'image capturée par un appareil de capture et de ladite clé secrète S, d'un vecteur de caractéristiques images Vsi(dig); et de - comparaison, par un algorithme de relecture, des vecteurs de caractéristiques images Vsi(num) et Vsi(dig). L'invention s'applique en particulier aux cartes à puces.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the personalisation graphics of identification documents. The identification document comprises a body where at least one of the main surfaces forms a print surface, on which artwork (14A, 14B) and/or personalised information (24A, 24B) are printed, the said print surface being covered with reinforced protective film (31A, 31B). The identification document further comprises a protective overlay (25A, 25B) transferred to the print surface with an ink ribbon, the said protective overlay being capable of enabling the adherence of the said reinforced protective film (31A, 31B) on the ink transferred to the said print surface.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system comprising a mobile phone assembly made of a mobile phone and a personal token, comprising an aggregator (102), and comprising an application (103) running on the mobile phone assembly, the aggregator (102) being able to get acquainted of an update to a web site and to inform the application (103) of such update, the application (103) being further able to pick up end-user choices as to web site updates the end-user intends to be informed of, characterized in that the application (103) is stored and run on the personal token.
Abstract:
A method for transferring data from a server to at least one mobile station is disclosed. The method includes the server sending a notification to the mobile station for informing the mobile station that there is data to be transferred to the mobile station, the mobile station sending a request to the server for requesting the server to transfer data to the mobile station and the server sending a response to the mobile station for transferring data to the mobile station. A mobile station and a server for implementing the method are also disclosed.
