Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and apparatus to protect user privacy while accessing information in public places, using both public and personal devices. This is achieved by employing a mechanism that prevents private information from being displayed on public devices. Instead, this type of information is made available only to a user's personal device(s) that the user carries and/or trusts. An example embodiment of the invention shows relevant parts of the information content, referred to also as information documents or simply documents, to multiple devices based on privacy level and user preferences. Embodiments of the present invention also provide personalized services based on privacy levels defined by users. These users can for example be customers of a retail store. The service provided is sometimes also based on user history of accessing information documents. It permits personalized information to be sent to a customer's personal device.
Abstract:
A migration scheme for virtualized Trusted Platform Modules (430, 432, 434) is presented. The procedure is capable of securely migrating an instance of a virtual Trusted Platform Module from one physical platform (402) to another (404). A virtual Trusted Platform Module instance's state is downloaded from a source virtual Trusted Platform Module (432) and all its state information is encrypted using a hybrid of public and symmetric key cryptography (612). The encrypted state is transferred to the target physical platform (616), decrypted and the state of the virtual Trusted Platform Module instance is rebuilt (620).

Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and apparatus to protect user privacy while accessing information in public places, using both public and personal devices (109, 110, 111). This is achieved by employing a mechanism that prevents private information from being displayed on public devices (110). Instead, this type of information is made available only to a user's persona l devices(s) (109) that the user carries and/or trusts. An example embodiment of the invention shows relevant parts of the information content, referred to also as information documents or simply documents, to multiple devices based on privacy level and user preferences. Embodiments of the present invention also provide personalized services based on privacy levels defined by users. These users can for example be customers of a retail store.
