Abstract: A secure card reader (1) includes several security measures. Access to the reader's main circuitry is prevented by an enclosure (9) whose walls contain embedded i conductive paths (18a, 18b, 18c). Breaking or grounding of one of these paths can be detected electronically. A similar arrangement of conductive paths prevent enlarging of a card receiving slot (9c) If tampering is detected using the embedded conductive paths (18a, 18b, 18c), the reader's memory (69) is wiped. The enclosure (9) has apertures (20) in its walls and is held in place by a potting material that extends into the apertures. Means (31, 35) is also provided to detect attempts to probe behind a keypad membrane (7). The contacts (42) for the chip of a chip card are arranged so that their leads all extend away from the card insertion slot.

Abstract: A circuit for receiving multiple serial datastreams in parallel is disclosed. A bit clock is recovered from each data stream, there being one data bit for each transition of the clock signal both positive and negative going. The phases of the bit clocks are compared and are adjusted by 180 degrees so that the positive going edges of all occur close to each other. The bits of each stream are assembled into words under the control of a word clock. In one embodiment a common word clock is derived form the set of bit clocks as a whole. In another embodiment each stream is provided with its own word clock which is aligned to positive edges of the respective bit clocks that are close to each other.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for isolating application-specific data in an environment where multiple applications share a same user account. This mechanism enables data specific to an application to be accessed only by the application. When an application requests application-specific data, the data is loaded and a handle to the data is returned to the application. Access to the data is allowed only though the handle. Therefore, only the application possessing the handle can access the data. A counter may be associated with the loaded data. The counter's value is incremented whenever a handle is created for the data and decremented whenever a handle for the data is terminated. When the value of the counter reaches zero, the data is automatically unloaded.

Abstract: An operating system for a computing device has a first session for a user that includes a first base process that has a first privileges token attached thereto. The first privileges token includes substantially a full set of privileges of the user on the operating system. The operating system also has a second session for the user that includes a second base process that has a second privileges token attached thereto. The second privileges token is derived from the first privileges token and includes only a minimum set of privileges of the user on the operating system. Thus, the second, limited token does not have all privileges associated with the first, full token but instead has a limited set of privileges and not extra privileges that could be employed to take actions that would be harmful, deceptive, or malicious.

Abstract translation: 用于计算设备的操作系统具有用于用户的第一会话，所述第一会话包括具有连接到其的第一权限令牌的第一基本进程。 第一权限令牌在操作系统上基本上包括用户的一整套特权。 操作系统还具有用户的第二会话，其包括具有附加到其的第二权限令牌的第二基本进程。 第二个权限令牌是从第一个权限令牌导出的，并且仅包含操作系统上用户的一组最小权限。 因此，第二个有限令牌不具有与第一个完整令牌相关联的所有权限，而是具有一组有限的权限，而不是可以用于采取有害，欺骗性或恶意行为的额外权限。

Abstract: A secure process may be created which does not allow code to be injected into it, does not allow modification of its memory or inspection of its memory. The resources protected in a secure process include all the internal state and threads running in the secure process. Once a secure process is created, the secure process is protected from access by non-secure processes. Process creation occurs atomically in kernel mode. Creating the infrastructure of a process in kernel mode enables security features to be applied that are difficult or impossible to apply in user mode. By moving setup actions previously occurring in user mode (such as creating the initial thread, allocating the stack, initialization of the parameter block, environment block and context record) into kernel mode, the need of the caller for full access rights to the created process is removed. Instead, enough state is passed from the caller to the kernel with the first system call so that the kernel is able to perform the actions previously performed using a number of calls back and forth between caller and kernel. When the kernel returns the handle to the set-up process, some of the access rights accompanying the handle are not returned. Specifically, those access rights that enable the caller to inject threads, read/write virtual memory, and interrogate or modify state of the threads of the process are not returned to the caller.

Abstract translation: 可以创建不允许将代码注入其中的安全过程，不允许修改其存储器或检查其存储器。 在安全进程中保护的资源包括在安全进程中运行的所有内部状态和线程。 一旦创建了一个安全的进程，安全进程便受到非安全进程的访问保护。 进程创建在内核模式下以原子方式发生。 在内核模式下创建进程的基础架构可以应用在用户模式下难以应用的安全功能。 通过将先前发生在用户模式（如创建初始线程，分配堆栈，初始化参数块，环境块和上下文记录）的设置操作移动到内核模式，调用者需要对创建的进程进行完全访问权限 被删除。 相反，通过第一次系统调用，足够的状态从调用者传递到内核，以便内核能够使用调用者和内核之间的多个呼叫执行先前执行的操作。 当内核返回设置过程的句柄时，不会返回伴随句柄的一些访问权限。 具体来说，那些使呼叫者能够注入线程，读取/写入虚拟内存以及查询或修改进程的线程状态的访问权限不会返回给调用者。

Abstract: A method of controlling access to network services enables an authorized proxy client to access a service on behalf of a user. To permit the client to function as a proxy, the user registers proxy authorization information with a trusted security server. The proxy authorization information identifies the proxy client and specifies the extent of proxy authority granted to the proxy client. When the proxy client wants to access a target service on behalf of the user, it sends a proxy request to the trusted security server. The trusted security server checks the proxy authorization information of the user to verify whether the request is within the proxy authority granted to the proxy client. If so, the trusted security server returns to the proxy client a data structure containing information recognizable by the target service to authenticate the proxy client for accessing the target service on behalf of the user.

Abstract translation: 控制对网络服务的访问的方法使得授权代理客户端能够代表用户访问服务。 为了允许客户端作为代理，用户使用可信赖的安全服务器注册代理授权信息。 代理授权信息标识代理客户端，并指定授予代理客户端的代理授权的范围。 当代理客户端想要代表用户访问目标服务时，它向可信安全服务器发送代理请求。 受信任的安全服务器检查用户的代理授权信息，以验证请求是否在授予代理客户端的代理授权内。 如果是这样，则可信赖安全服务器向代理客户端返回包含目标服务可识别的信息的数据结构，以便代表用户验证代理客户端来访问目标服务。
