摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a device includes both a transferring and receiving interface. The device may include a direction indicator, for example an arrow, indicating a direction of data transfer. The device may also include a switch, such as a button, to initiate data transfer. The device may also include a counter, display, or light that indicates the amount data transferred and serves as a user interface. The device may also include a power source, such as a battery, to power the device during data transfer.

Systems and methods for providing a multiple source entropy feed for a PRNG that is used to generate server-side encryption keys are disclosed. A data recovery manager may collect additional entropy sources that feed into the PRNG between each key generation. The entropy may be collected from a variety of sources, for example, high-resolution timer intervals between input/output interrupts, hard disk access operations, and the like. The number of bits of entropy collected may be configured for each key generation.

An embodiment relates generally to a method of managing a token. The method includes marking a token to be killed and detecting a presence of the token. The method also includes disabling the token in response to the marking of the token.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a compression capability for compressing a CRL, such as an X.509 CRL, stored as a file, data structure or data object in a computer system having a certification authority (CA) and a security client. An exemplary method provides for accessing the CRL contents including a certificate revocation record and performing compression procedure, such as a lossless compression procedure on the contents of the CRL. The compressed CRL contents can be stored in another file, data structure or data object. A request for the compressed CRL is from a security client whereupon the compressed CRL is returned to the security client by transferring the compressed CRL contents to the security client. The security can client un-compress the compressed CRL contents. In some cases the uncompressed CRL contents can be transferred to the security client. The compression procedure can further compress a body portion of the CRL and modify a header portion of the CRL to indicate that the body portion is compressed. The security client can read the header portion to determine that the CRL is compressed and can un-compresses the CRL.

An embodiment pertains generally to a method of delivering keys in a server. The method includes generating a subject key pair, where the subject key pair includes a subject public key and a subject private key. The method also includes retrieving a storage key and encrypting the subject private key with the storage key as a wrapped storage private key. The method further includes storing the wrapped storage private key.

In a device, method and/or computer-readable medium for secure communication between a client device and a server, the client device includes a browser for accessing a website provided by the server, the client device generates a key according to a key generating cryptographic routine; tags the key with a marker associating the key with the website; and stores the tagged key in a memory associated with the browser.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system, including a client and security token, for reducing a size of a security-related object stored in the token. The object is stored in a storage structure that is indexed according to an identity reference to a certificate associated with the object and a private key identifier identifying a private key assigned to an owner of the token. A request to access an encrypted data object results in accessing the private key identifier in the storage structure using only the identity reference as an index.

An embodiment pertains generally to a method of storing keys. The method includes receiving a request for generating a subject private key at a token processing system and generating a subject key pair, where the subject key pair includes a subject public and the subject private key. The method also includes archiving the subject private key within the token processing system.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a profile framework for handling enrollment requests. In particular, when a token processing system receives an enrollment request, it selects an applicable profile based on information in the request. The profile may indicate a variety of parameters for fulfilling the enrollment request, such as the locations of the applicable certificate authority, token key service, and the like. The profile may also indicate items, such as the number of keys to generate on a token, a token label, and connection information to securely communicate with other components and the client making the enrollment request.
