This document describes tools capable of receiving reputation metadata effective to enable better decision making about whether or not to authorize operations. The tools may build a reputation value from this reputation metadata and, based on this value and an authorization rule, better decide whether or not to authorize an operation requested by some program, application, or other actor.

At computer device power on, the operating system of the computer device initiates a monitor. The monitor assigns a monitoring program to each program and object (collectively, “program”) running on the computer device to monitor the activities of the program. When the monitoring program is assigned to a program, the monitoring program is assigned an integrity and/or privacy label (collectively, “integrity label”) based on predetermined criteria applied to the monitored program. The monitoring program, in turn, assigns an integrity label to the program monitored by the monitoring program. The integrity label assigned to the monitored program is less than or equal to the integrity label of the monitoring program. The monitor enforces an integrity policy of the computer device based on the integrity label assigned to monitored programs and the integrity label associated with data, another program, or a remote network resource that the monitored program is seeking to access.

Systems and methods that establish a secured compartment that manages sensitive user transactions/information on a user's machine. The secured compartment qualifies user interaction with the machine, and separates such qualified interaction from other user activity on the machine. A user is switched to such secured compartment upon occurrence of a predetermined event, such as in form of: an explicit request (e.g., a secure attention sequence); an implicit request (e.g., inference of user activities); and presence of a peripheral device that is bound to the secured compartment (e.g., a USB)—wherein such actions typically cannot be generated by an application running outside the secured compartment.

摘要:
An operating system copies data from memory pages into a paging file on disk, in order to free up space in the memory. A mechanism is disclosed that causes the data to be encrypted as it is copied into the paging file, thereby protecting the paged data from unauthorized (or otherwise undesired) observation. The data that is stored in the paging file is encrypted with a session key, that is generated shortly after the machine on which the paging file exists is started. The session key, which is used both for encryption and decryption of the paging file data, is stored in volatile memory, so that the key is not persisted across boots of the machine. Since the key is not persisted across boots, old paging file data that was stored prior to the most recent boot cannot be recovered in clear text, thereby protecting the data from observation.
