摘要： Described herein are devices and techniques related to implementation of a trustworthy electronic processing module. During fabrication, a manufacturer is provided with partial technical specifications that intentionally exclude at least one critical design feature. Fabrication of the electronic processing module is monitored from a trusted remote location; wherefrom, the intentionally excluded at least one critical design feature is implemented, thereby completing manufacture of the trustworthy electronic processing module. At least one of the acts of monitoring and implementing can be accomplished by instantiating executable software remotely from a trusted remote location and immediately prior to execution. It is the executable software that enables at least one of the acts of monitoring and implementing. Further, the instantiated executable software is removed or otherwise rendered inoperable immediately subsequent to execution. In some embodiments the critical design feature can be implemented within a configurable element, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

摘要： A system and method is disclosed for distributing, registering and purchasing software application and other digital information over a network. Each software application is embedded with an agent module which communicates with a remote server module in a server attached to the network. The server module interacts with the user that is requesting installation of the software application and upon verification of billing or other constraints, the server module enables the agent module to proceed with installation. Subsequent to installation, the agent module monitors the server module and informs the user if an update to the software application is available.

摘要： Described herein are devices and techniques for remotely controlling user access to a restricted computer resource. The process includes pre-determining an association of the restricted computer resource and computer-resource-proximal environmental information. Indicia of user-proximal environmental information are received from a user requesting access to the restricted computer resource. Received indicia of user-proximal environmental information are compared to associated computer-resource-proximal environmental information. User access to the restricted computer resource is selectively granted responsive to a favorable comparison in which the user-proximal environmental information is sufficiently similar to the computer-resource proximal environmental information. In at least some embodiments, the process further includes comparing user-supplied biometric measure and comparing it with a predetermined association of at least one biometric measure of an authorized user. Access to the restricted computer resource is granted in response to a favorable comparison.
