    Abstract: A method for controlling communications between a data processing device in a first network and a target service in a second network via a gateway apparatus, the method comprising: transmitting a request to communicate with the target service from the data processing device to the gateway apparatus; transmitting device credentials from the data processing device to the gateway apparatus, wherein the credentials comprise information relating to the target service; verifying at the gateway apparatus an authentication status of the data processing device based on the device credentials; establishing a communication path between the data processing device and the target service if the authentication status is verified.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of establishing trust between an agent device and a verification apparatus, the method comprising: obtaining, at the agent device, a trust credential, wherein the trust credential relates to an aspect of the agent device and comprises authentication information for identifying at least one party trusted by the verification apparatus and/or device data relating to the agent device; transmitting, from the agent device to the verification apparatus, the trust credential; obtaining, at the verification apparatus, the trust credential; analysing, at the verification apparatus, the trust credential; determining, at the verification apparatus, whether the agent device is trusted based on the analysis; and responsive to determining the agent device is trusted, establishing trust between the agent device and the verification apparatus.

    Abstract: A method of authorizing an operation on a remote device with a cryptographic signature verification component, the remote device being operable in a communications network having human-readable messages with message signatures, comprising receiving at an arbitrator an authorization request to perform an operation requiring authorization on the remote device; retrieving from the request an operation identifier and plaintext data; sending a human-readable request with the identifier and the plaintext data to an authorizer; receiving a reply from an authorizer, the reply message comprising at least the plaintext data and a verifiable cryptographic signature identifying the authorizer derived from the request; and on receiving the reply, sending a request to perform the operation to the remote device with an authorization derived from at least the cryptographic signature, the cryptographic signature being suitable for verification by the cryptographic signature verification component on the remote device.

    Abstract: A machine implemented method for protecting a target domain and a source domain from unauthorized accesses. The method comprising: identifying an exit call gateway comprising an exit transition instruction and at least one exit access parameter, said exit access parameters restricting exit from said source domain; identifying an entry call gateway corresponding to said exit call gateway, said entry call gateway comprising a transition instruction and at least one entry access parameter, said entry access parameters restricting access to said target domain; determining that said exit access parameters and said entry access parameters are compatible with each other; and performing a context switch from said source domain to said target domain, when said exit access parameters and said entry access parameters are complied with.

    Abstract: Access to a resource controlled by a resource server (6, 8) is provided using a validity token issued by a validation server (4). When a resource request from a user (12) is received at the resource server (6, 8), then the resource server (6, 8) determines if the resource request satisfies a policy. If the resource request satisfies the policy, then access to the resource may be permitted without confirming the validity of the validation token with the validation server (4). Conversely, if the resource request does not satisfy the policy, then validation of the validation token with the validation server (4) is performed before the access requested is permitted.

    Abstract: The machine implemented method for operating at least one electronic system comprises detecting a pattern of use of plural control parameters in a path through a graph of operational context switches to reach a target operational context; storing a representation of the pattern in association with an indicator identifying the target operational context; responsive to detecting at least one of a request for a switch of operation from a source operational context to the target operational context, a trapping on a resource access, and a detection of a breakpoint, retrieving the representation in accordance with the indicator identifying the target operational context; and responsive to the retrieving, applying at least one control parameter to said at least one electronic system to match the pattern.
