    摘要: The invention broadly contemplates a security solution for storage devices that is inexpensive and robust. The invention allows a store of system specific data to be used to release the hard disk key of full-disk encryption (FDE) drives. This system specific data is passed to the FDE drives and used to calculate the actual encryption key. This allows for safe disposal of an FDE drive containing confidential data, as the lack of available system specific decryption data makes decryption virtually impossible.

    摘要: Arrangements which permit the employment of dedicated user-access management architecture with more than text-based access. Particularly contemplated herein are arrangements for accepting user identifiers that are then communicated to an intermediate user-delineating architecture (i.e., architecture configured for permitting access to encrypted data or sections of a computer on a user-specific basis) in a manner to permit the user-delineating architecture to perform its own task of unlocking data or sections of a computer.

    摘要: A method for providing a secure single sign-on to a computer system is disclosed. Pre-boot passwords are initially stored in a secure storage area of a smart card. The operating system password, which has been encrypted to a blob, is stored in a non-secure area of the smart card. After the smart card has been inserted in a computer system, a user is prompted for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) of the smart card. In response to a correct smart card PIN entry, the blob stored in the non-secure storage area of the smart card is decrypted to provide the operating system password, and the operating system password along with the pre-boot passwords stored in the secure storage area of the smart card are then utilized to log on to the computer system.

    摘要: There are many files in the current generation of computers, especially on the hardfile, that are not used or used only infrequently during operation. For instance, the system may contain many help text files which may never be accessed. The same applies to the DLL's. Also, some files are accessed only during a boot cycle. The present invention provides a method and program to track the locations of files in a computer which have been accessed so that, when an error occurs, only the files that need to be tested are diagnostically tested for errors, thus saving time and resources.

    摘要: In accordance with at least one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is broadly contemplated herein the managing of a POP not solely in the BIOS but at least partly in a more secure location. In accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, this location could be in a NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) inside a TPM (trusted platform module). Most preferably, this location will contain code that the BIOS preferably will need to access and employ in order to complete the booting of the system.

    摘要: Systems, methods and products are described that provide secure resume for encrypted drives. One aspect provides a method including: receiving an indication to resume from a suspended state at a computing device; responsive to authenticating a user at one or more input devices, accessing a value in a BIOS derived from authenticating the user at the one or more input devices; responsive to accessing the value, releasing a credential for unlocking one or more encrypted drives; and thereafter proceeding to resume from the suspend state.

    摘要: Systems, methods and products are described that provide secure boot with a minimum number of re-boots. One aspect provides a method including receiving an indication to boot from a power off state at a computing device; responsive to authenticating a user at one or more input devices, releasing a value derived from authenticating the user at the one or more input devices; responsive to releasing the value, unlocking one or more encrypted drives with a previously established alternate credential; and thereafter proceeding to boot from the power off state. By not having to call the non-BIOS software each boot, this minimizes the number of reboots for each boot cycle.

    摘要: In the context of computer systems, the generation of preboot passwords at a server instead of at a client. Preferably, preboot passwords generated at the server are distributed to the client, and a process is offered whereby a user can establish his/her own proxy, not known to the server, that can be used to release the stored passwords to the client hardware. Since the passwords are generated at the server, management of the passwords is greatly facilitated since they are generated at the site where they are stored. This also makes it easy to implement management features such as a group policy, since the password generation software will be able to make logical connections between users and hardware.
