摘要:
In an information processing apparatus, when a command does not include information relating to whether to perform or not to perform authentication of firmware or a first control unit, authentication or authentication bypassing is performed based on a power state and an operation table, and when the command does include the information, the authentication or the authentication bypassing is performed based on the command.
摘要:
An apparatus includes first and second processors, a common memory, and a switch. The first processor executes an operating system, connects to a communication network and communicates with the communication network. The second processor operates independently of the operating system, connects to the communication network, and communicates with the communication network. The second processor writes, in the common memory, communication setting information being used by the second processor when the switch switches the connection destination from the second processor to the first processor. The first processor acquires the communication setting information, and sets the acquired communication setting information to the first processor. The switch switches the connection destination of the communication network from the second processor to the first processor after the communication setting information has been set to the first processor.

An information processing apparatus includes, a processer, a non-volatile memory to store a plurality of programs, a volatile memory to store at least one program executed by the processor and data accessed by the program, an acceptance unit to accept context information when power supplied to the processor is resumed from a state in which power supplied to the processor is interrupted while a power supplied to the volatile memory is maintained, a selection unit to select one program from the plurality of programs stored in the non-volatile memory based on context information accepted by the acceptance unit, and a program determination unit to determine whether the one program selected by the selection unit is stored in the volatile memory. When the processor determines the one program selected by the program determination unit is stored in the volatile memory, the processor starts the one program stored in the volatile memory.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus that executes security processing for a storage device connected thereto, the apparatus includes a processing command storage unit that stores a plurality of processing commands related to security processing according to a type of the storage device, a determining unit that determines the type of the storage device connected thereto, an obtaining unit that obtains a processing command corresponding to the type determined by the determining unit from the processing command storage unit, and an executing unit that executes the security processing corresponding to the storage device based on the obtained processing command.
摘要:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for recording a program allowing a computer to execute: determining whether first identification information of the computer matches with second identification information stored in the computer-readable medium connected to the computer; executing a process stored in the computer-readable medium upon the determining that the first identification information and the second identification information do not match; selecting a communication unit from one or a plurality of communication units included in the computer; and transmitting third information regarding the execution of the process using the selected communication unit.
摘要:
A terminal apparatus acquires setting information for controlling whether a storage area held by the non-volatile storage medium is to be used or not, from an external apparatus connected via a network, when the terminal apparatus is activated. The terminal apparatus updates area definition information defining the structure of storage areas in the non-volatile storage medium so that the storage area the use of which is restricted is in a state which cannot be recognized by the operating system, if the acquired setting information indicates that the use of the storage area is restricted. The terminal apparatus performs activation processing of the operating system after the update processing of the area definition information ends, if the acquired setting information indicates that the use of the storage area is restricted.
摘要:
A control assistance system and method include transmitting identification information and part identification information of a managed apparatus, storing identification information of the managed apparatus and the part identification information in a correspondence manner, specifying a combination of parts of the managed apparatus based on a correspondence between the identification information received from the managed apparatus and the identification information stored in the database, writing the received identification information in the database according to the specified combination of parts of the managed apparatus and transmitting a signal of restricting an operation to the specified managed apparatus.
摘要:
An apparatus having a communication section operable to communicate with a central apparatus, and a storage control section operable to control writing onto, and reading from, a storage medium. The apparatus receives a control command transmitted from the central apparatus. The apparatus, if the received command is a security command, acquires process information indicating information on the security process. The apparatus transmits the process information acquired to the central apparatus. The apparatus, if the received command is a security command, executes the security process. The apparatus, if the received command is an inquiry command, acquires the status of the execution of the security process. The apparatus transmits the security process execution status acquired to the central apparatus. The apparatus, if the execution of the security process is completed, transmits the fact that the execution of the security process in the storage medium is completed to the central apparatus.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus and method configured to access multiple external storage medium. The apparatus and method detect theft or loss (or otherwise unauthorized use) of the information processing apparatus with respect to data stored in multiple storage areas, back up the data to the storage medium, and record, in association with each of the storage medium, an easiness degree indicating how easily a user accesses the storage medium. The apparatus and method calculate erasure priority rankings of the data stored in a manner that an erasure priority ranking is higher as an easiness degree is higher, record the calculated erasure priority rankings in association with each of the multiple storage areas, and erases the data stored in the multiple storage areas in accordance with the erasure priority rankings when detecting theft or loss of the information processing apparatus.
摘要:
an apparatus comprises a data display unit which causes a display device to output display data that indicates a drawing screen complying with the display request, a reliability decision unit which decides a legality of a transmission source of the display request, and which makes an output request for information capable of confirming a reliability of the display data that the data display unit causes the display device to output, on the basis of a result of the decision, and an output unit which outputs the information capable of confirming the reliability of the display data as complies with the output request from the reliability decision unit, separately from the display data that is caused to be outputted by the data display unit.
