Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for authentication of a core root of trust measurement chain. The apparatus for authentication of a CRTM chain is provided with a plurality of modules configured to carry out the steps of retrieving a decryption key from a predetermined location on the device selected for authentication, decrypting an authentication signal using the decryption key, and communicating the decrypted authentication signal to a user. In the described embodiments, these modules include a retrieval module, a decryption module, and a communication module. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would reliably verify that a link in the CRTM chain has not been corrupted, modified, or infected with a computer virus. Specifically, such an apparatus, system, and method would enable verification that the hypervisor has not been corrupted, modified, or infected with a computer virus.

Abstract: A hard disk drive unit includes a microprocessor programmed to erase data stored within the drive unit if it is determined that a process potentially leading to a misuse of the data stored within the drive unit, and if secure disposal configuration data stored in nonvolatile storage within the drive indicates that the data is to be erased. Such a process includes initializing the drive unit for operation without providing a password matching a password stored in the drive unit, initializing the drive unit in a system not having CMOS configuration data matching the drive unit, and determining that a failure rate within the drive unit exceeds a threshold level.

Abstract: A client computer system is provided with two operating systems, one of which is a user operating system (UOS) and the other of which is a service operating system (SOS), and a hypervisor. In the event of a hang in the first operating system, the second operating system remains active, out of the awareness of the user of the system, and has reporting and command response capabilities beyond those of prior technology.

Abstract translation: 客户端计算机系统具有两个操作系统，其中一个是用户操作系统（UOS），另一个是服务操作系统（SOS），以及管理程序。 在第一个操作系统出现故障的情况下，第二个操作系统保持活动状态，不在系统用户的意识之内，并具有超越现有技术的报告和命令响应功能。

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable storage medium are disclosed to recover from lost resources in a distributed server environment. A status monitor module receives, at a first computer, periodic status messages from a peer computer. Each periodic status message indicates that the peer computer is providing a service for which the first computer serves as a backup service provider. A failure detection module determines, based on the periodic status messages, that the peer computer has stopped providing the service. An advancement module provides the service, at the first computer, in response to determining that the peer computer has stopped providing the service.

Abstract: Described is a technology by which a user is able to determine the content of a storage device, including when the storage device is non-operational. A user may use a device and/or program to provide a wirelessly-read identifier to query a repository that maintains cataloged data for the user's storage device. The query to the repository returns the cataloged data for that storage device in response, which is output to the user and the user knows the storage device's contents. Alternatively, the user may obtain a list of storage devices from the repository, and select one to view its cataloged data. When the storage device is operational, the persistent repository is updated with any changes to keep the cataloged data synchronized with the stored content.

Abstract translation: 描述了用户能够确定存储设备的内容的技术，包括何时存储设备不可操作。 用户可以使用设备和/或程序来提供无线读取标识符来查询维护用户存储设备的编目数据的仓库。 对存储库的查询返回该存储设备的编录数据作为响应，输出到用户，用户知道存储设备的内容。 或者，用户可以从存储库获得存储设备的列表，并且选择一个以查看其编目的数据。 当存储设备运行时，永久性存储库将随着任何更改进行更新，以使已编目的数据与存储的内容保持同步。
