    摘要: A form of removable memory, such as a universal serial bus (USB) flash device (UFD), may allow secure storage of and access to a time balance of a pay-per-use or subscription computing system. A computing device may establish a secure connection to a portable secure computing device to access a stored time balance or other device-enabling, exhaustible data. During operation, the device may deplete the balance. Upon reaching a threshold depletion of the balance, the user may add more data to continue device use. The device may include a processor and a secure memory including identification and subscription data. Further, the device may store configuration data that may be used by the computer to bind the device to a particular subscription service or internet service provider.

    摘要: A form of removable memory, such as a universal serial bus (USB) flash device, may enable a subscription-based computing system from any PC. The device may include an execution unit including a processor, a private memory including an encrypted application, a computing system interface, a cryptographic unit including a secure storage with a number of metering units, and a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include instructions for routing messages and data from the execution unit through the computing system interface to a connected computing system. Further, encrypted application data may be routed through the cryptographic unit to the execution unit to thereby transform the encrypted application into executable data for use by the computing system. Also, the device may decrement a number of metering units stored at the device during execution of the encrypted application by the computer.

    摘要: A system for binding a subscription-based computer to an internet service provider (ISP) may include a binding module and a security module residing on the computer. The binding module may identify and authenticate configuration data from peripheral devices that attempt to connect to the computer, encrypt any requests for data from the computer to the ISP, and decrypt responses from the ISP. If the binding module is able to authenticate the configuration data and the response to the request for data from the ISP, then the security module may allow the communication between the computer and the ISP. However, if either the configuration cycle or the response cannot be properly verified, then the security module may degrade operation of the computer.

    摘要: A system for managing a subscription-based computer independent of an operating system of the computer may include a security module that accesses, decrements, and stores subscription data during operation of the subscription-based computer. Additionally, the system may include a network module in communication with the security module and comprising a network stack, a web server, and a user interface in an operating system independent format. A web browser of the computer may request the user interface from the network stack. The interface may be populated with the subscription data, and a network driver may retrieve the populated user interface from the network module. The populated interface may then be sent to the web server to be served back to the requesting web browser.

    摘要: To protect against software piracy, a storage media has a cryptographically protected area that stores software to be installed onto a target device, such as a computer. The storage media may include a non-secure area holding boot files and an installation program. The installation program may gather target device-specific data for use by a certifying authority in generating a key that allows access to the secure area of the storage media only during the installation process. In this manner, a user never has access to the raw installation files, limiting the ability to copy and distribute those files for installation on non-authorized computers. The certifying authority may also prepare target device-specific data applied to the software before installation to create a custom software image that will only execute on the target device and that can be verified by the host OS prior to execution, allowing integrity confirmation.
