20180060563 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, AND AUTHENTICATION METHOD - Even when specific information (first information, second information) about individual sensors is inadequate to identify each of the individual sensors, whether all the sensors coupled to a semiconductor device are authentic can be determined. The semiconductor device can be electrically coupled with plural sensors and is configured as follows. Registration information is generated based on first combined information composed of plural combined pieces of first specific information respectively about plural sensors coupled to the semiconductor device when making registration. The semiconductor device generates determination target information based on second combined information composed of plural pieces of second specific information respectively about plural sensors coupled to the semiconductor device when making determination and compares the determination target information with the registration information. When the comparison result is a non-match, it is determined that not all the sensors coupled to the semiconductor device are authentic and in normal condition. | 2018-03-01 |
20180060564 | GENERATION OF SECURE PASSWORDS IN REAL-TIME USING PERSONAL DATA - An example system includes a processor to receive personal data including passwords and personal information associated with a user. The processor is to also compute patterns for the passwords based on the personal data. The processor is to further receive a plurality of characters for a proposed password. The processor is to also detect that the proposed password is unsecure based on the personal data and the computed patterns. The processor is to generate a secure password in real-time based on the personal data and the proposed password. | 2018-03-01 |
20180060565 | SECURE PROCESS IMPERSONATION - An Operating System (OS) command launcher or loader is newly obfuscated each time a command is successfully processed by the OS command launcher. Moreover, a binary for the OS command launcher is validated each time a command is attempted to be processed for execution by the OS command launcher. | 2018-03-01 |
20180060566 | PROTECTION OF A MODULAR CALCULATION - A method of protecting a modular calculation on a first number and a second number, executed by an electronic circuit, including the steps of: combining the second number with a third number to obtain a fourth number; executing the modular calculation on the first and fourth numbers, the result being contained in a first register or memory location; initializing a second register or memory location to the value of the first register or to one; and successively, for each bit at state 1 of the third number: if the corresponding bit of the fourth number is at state 1, multiplying the content of the second register or memory location by the inverse of the first number and placing the result in the first register or memory location, if the corresponding bit of the fourth number is at state 0, multiplying the content of the second register or memory location by the first number and placing the result in the first register or memory location. | 2018-03-01 |
20180060567 | Isolating an Application Running Inside a Native Container Application - Limiting access to native device capabilities. A method includes, at a container application installed at the computing device, the container application configured to execute hosted script based applications, identifying a hosted application to execute. The method further includes, at the container application, obtaining information identifying a limited set of capabilities from among the native device capabilities indicating which of the native device capabilities the hosted application has been granted access to. The method further includes, at the container application, executing the hosted application and enforcing limits on the hosted application such that the hosted application is only able to access the native device capabilities identified in the limited set of capabilities. | 2018-03-01 |
