摘要:
A technique for efficient representation of dependencies between electronically-stored documents, such as in an enterprise data processing system. A document distribution path is developed as a directional graph that is a representation of the historic dependencies between documents, which is constructed in real time as documents are created. The system preferably maintains a lossy hierarchical representation of the documents indexed in such a way that allows for fast queries for similar but not necessarily equivalent documents. A distribution path, coupled with a document similarity service, can be used to provide a number of applications, such as a security solution that is capable of finding and restricting access to documents that contain information that is similar to other existing files that are known to contain sensitive information.

A technique for adaptive encryption of digital assets such as computer files. The system model monitors passage of files to uncontrollable removable storage media or through network connections and the like which may indicate possible abuse of access rights. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, an autonomous independent agent process running at a point of use, such a background process in a client operating system kernel, interrupts requests for access to resources. The agent process senses low level system events, filters, and aggregates them. A policy engine analyzes sequences of aggregate events to determine when to apply encryption.

A technique for establishing usage control over digital assets such as computer files. The system model not only tracks authorized users' access to files, but monitors passage of such files to uncontrollable removable storage media or through network connections and the like which may indicate possible abuse of access rights. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, an autonomous independent agent process running at a point of use, such a background process in a client operating system kernel, interrupts requests for access to resources. The agent process senses low level system events, filters, and aggregates them. A policy engine analyzes sequences of aggregate events to determine when policy violations occur.

A technique for establishing a perimeter of accountability for usage of digital assets such as data files. The accountability model not only tracks authorized users' access to files, but monitors passage of such files to uncontrollable removable storage media or through network connections and the like which may indicate possible abuse of access. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, an autonomous independent agent process running at a point of use, such as in the background of a client operating system kernel, interrupts requests for access to resources. The agent process senses low level system events, filters, aggregates them, and makes reports to a journaling server. The journaling server analyzes sequences of low level events to detect when aggregate events of interest occur, such as “FileEdit”, network file transfers and the like. Reports can be generated to provide an understanding of how digital assets have been accessed, used or communicated by individuals in an enterprise.

A trusted transaction architecture that provides security from a client side input device to a merchant server by installing a secure custom browser process on the client side computer via an ActiveX control or the equivalent. This Secure Browser Process (SBP) may then be inspected to ensure that no external codes exist in its application space, that no subsequently loaded Dynamic Link Library (DLL), or equivalent, has been tampered with or modified, that no Application Programming Interface (API) has been overwritten or redirected, and that no input device driver has been hooked by a digital signature. The SBP then creates a secure channel to the input device(s) that are used to enter data into the browser application, and creates a secure channel to the merchant's destination server to ensure that data cannot be intercepted, even on the client side computer.

摘要:
A system for backing up desired data includes a communication link configured to transfer information between the system and a backup storage for storing backed up data, and a processor coupled to the communication link and configured to: determine associated substantive data of the desired data, compare the associated substantive data of the desired data with stored data, and transfer the associated substantive data over the communication link for storage based on the comparison of the associated substantive data with the stored data.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for synchronizing files stored in memory of two remotely located systems. The system can generate a copy of a source file at the destination location without transferring all the data of the source file. The destination location includes a reference file that can contain similar data as that contained in the source file. The synchronization is accomplished by sending keys (representing reference blocks of data from the reference file) to the source system. At the source system, a portion of each keys called a Feature is compared with portions of source file. If the Features match, a checksum corresponding to the reference block is compared with a check sum corresponding to the source block. If the checksums match, an short message identifying the key and reference block that matched is transmitted to the destination system in order that the reference block can be copied from the reference file in order to build the synchronized file.
