Abstract: Anti-virus method requires reading-in password (p) after prompt by operating system (OS) (E), where initially an OS-specific identification sign (HE) is received from the OS followed by generation of an OS password-specific identification sign (FHE) from at least the OS-specific identification sign (HE) and the received password (p). The OS password specific identification sign (FHE) is then sent to the OS (E) for processing.

Abstract: The invention concerns security or vulnerability information relevant for a system comprising computer software and/or hardware or electronics, wherein a service provider with a first subsystem (1) is providing activation tokens to be received by a customer with a second subsystem (2). The activation tokens including activation information and naming of system characteristics in machine readable and filterable manner. The second subsystem (2) comprises receiving means (11) for controlling the receiving of the activation tokens, checking means (12) for automatically determining whether the activation information is relevant for the second subsystem (2) by checking whether the second subsystem has characteristics corresponding to the naming of an activation token, and transforming means (13) for transforming relevant activation information into at least one activation measure for the second subsystem (2). The activation measures will reduce the vulnerability of the second subsystem.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for detecting attacks on a data communication network. The apparatus includes a router with a mechanism for monitoring return messages addressed to an originating user system local to the router. The mechanism includes a message checker for identifying a return message of a specified nature and a rerouter for temporarily routing subsequent messages from the originating user system to the intrusion detection sensor.

Abstract: The invention provides a form of reacting on security or vulnerability information relevant for a system comprising computer software and/or hardware or electronics, wherein a service provider with a first subsystem (1) is providing activation tokens to be received by a customer with a second subsystem (2). The activation tokens including activation information and naming of system characteristics in machine readable and filterable manner.

The activation measures will reduce the vulnerability of the second subsystem.

Abstract: The invention provides a mechanism for a secure password entry by using cryptographic functions. This mechanism is applicable to the access of computers and programs. Upon a request of a program E a password p is read-in by receiving a program-specific identifier H(E) from the program E, receiving the password p, and generating from at least the program-specific identifier H(E) and the received password p a program-password-specific identifier F(H(E),p). The program-password-specific identifier F(H(E),p) is sent to the program E which then further processes the program-password-specific identifier F(H(E),p).
