20090100530 | Method And System For Using Location Information Acquired From GPS For Secure Authentication - Secure functions may be accessed via an authentication process utilizing a password that may be generated within a chip integrated on a device. The password may be unique per chip location, per challenge and/or per chip. The location of the chip may be determined based on GPS information and securely stored and securely communicated to an external entity. Two or more of the chip location, a generated random number sample and a key from a table of keys may be passed to a hash function that may generate a password. An external entity attempting access may be challenged to respond with a password that matches the password generated by the hash function. The response may be compared with the password generated by the hash function and access to one or more secure functions may be granted based on the comparison. | 2009-04-16 |
20090100531 | Latches-Links as Virtual Attachments in Documents - A system and method are disclosed for managing target documents referred to by referring documents. A user sends a delete request for a referring document from a user client computer to a master server computer. Next, the master server computer accesses and deletes the referring document, updates a counter for a target document hypertext linked to the referring document, and updates a database, which contained the deleted referring document. The master server computer then determines whether the count for the counter of the target document equals zero. If the counter for the referring document is not equal to zero, the master server computer sends a message to the user indicating that the referring document has been deleted and sends a message to the user asking whether the user wants to delete another referring document. If the user wants to delete another referring document the process goes back to the initial process step, and the user sends another delete request for a referring document. However, if the counter for the referring document equals zero, the master server computer sends a message to the user indicating that the referring document has been deleted and then sends a message to an author of the target document (author client) asking whether the author client wants to delete the target document. Automatic deletion of target documents is also disclosed. Further disclosed are systems and methods for viewing, creating, and providing security for target documents referred to in referring documents. | 2009-04-16 |
