摘要:
The present invention provides a digital certificate (2, 32) comprising a plurality of credential attribute properties (6, 36), and a trust function (8, 42) embedded within the certificate as an executable file, which trust function can determine as a function of data (12, 44) available to it a trust value (14, 46) attributable to at least a part of the certificate at least partly by execution of the executable file. A corresponding method of communication is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method of communication is such that a first party (30) communicates a composite credential (54) across a distributed electronic network (44) to a second Party (32). The composite credential (54) includes a plurality of credentials (46-52).
摘要:
A system for analyzing an environment to identify a security risk, comprising a model engine to generate a model of the environment using multiple components defining adjustable elements of the model and a risk analyzer to calculate multiple randomized instances of an outcome for the environment using multiple values for parameters of the elements of the model selected from within respective predefined ranges for the parameters.
摘要:
A distributed storage system for storing at least one credential (46), provided by an issuing authority and relating to an identity (42, 44), is described. The system comprises: a plurality of unique identities (42, 44) each having a local store (40). Each local store (40) securely stores credentials (46) relating to the owner of the identity (42, 44). The system also comprises one or more security certificates (66) provided at each identity (42, 44) for ensuring the authenticity of the credentials (46). The security certificates (66) provide secure references to the issuers of the credentials (46) and this can be used in verifying the origin of each credential (46). The identity can be provided a website or a mobile phone for example.
摘要:
A mapping system is provided that makes use of security data collected from various data sources. Following appropriate pre-processing, the mapping system analyses the security data to provide estimated values for parameters in a security model, the security model in turn being based on one or more mathematical representations.
摘要:
A customized security model template is created that is customized for a specific organization's security related procedures. The customized security model template is instantiated with parameters associated with the organization to create an instantiated security model, and a report is produced based on simulations of the instantiated security model that specifies metrics of the organization's security implementation.
摘要:
Compliance of a project is assessed by generating a graph including nodes representing attributes of the project, and populating a subset of nodes in the graph with attribute values of the project. A rule applicable to the subset of nodes is identified and applied to determine whether the attribute values comply with the rule.
摘要:
The present invention provides a digital certificate (2, 32), the certificate comprising a credential attribute function (6, 38) associated with a credential attribute property (5, 36), which credential attribute function is embedded in the certificate as an executable file, in which the credential attribute function can determine the value (12, 44) of the credential attribute property at least partly by execution of the executable file. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
摘要:
One example provides a collaborative policy refinement service to aggregate policy inputs from organizational layers and to generate security policies that are consistent across the organizational layers. This includes an interactive policy component to facilitate collaborative interaction between the organizational layers and to facilitate determination of the security policies.
摘要:
A computer network has a number of resources. One or more trusted localization provider certifies the location of the resources. Encrypted data is closely associated with a policy package defining privacy policies for the data and metapolicies for their selection. A trusted privacy service enforces the privacy policies. The trusted privacy service is arranged to supply a key to a resource to allow that resource to process data if the trusted privacy service determines from the trusted localization provider certifying the location and other contextual information of the resource that the privacy policy allows processing of the data on that resource in that location.
