摘要:
A rotation-activated electronic component, preferably a RFID tag mounted on or incorporated in a support that is rotated when read, e.g. a CD or DVD. The RFID tag comprises an antenna, a rotational switch, a component, advantageously a processor, and a time usage limiter. The antenna is adapted to transform received RFID signals to electric energy that powers the component and the rotational switch is adapted to cut the circuit unless the support does not rotate at or above a certain rotational speed. The time usage limiter counts down a timer when it is powered via the rotational switch and disables the RFID tag when the timer expires. Supports equipped with the RFID tag of the invention will thus respond until the timer expires, and preferably only if they rotate sufficiently.

An electronic device with a limited time of use. The electronic device comprises a physical interface for removable connection to a host device, a processor and a usage time limit module with a counter. When the counter reaches a pre-determined value, the usage time limit module is configured to disable the electronic device, preferably by modifying the hardware of the electronic device, e.g. by disabling a communication line between the processor and the physical interface, which may be effected by blowing a fuse. The usage time limit module is powered by the host device via a power supply from the physical interface. In a preferred embodiment, the electronic device is a storage device. In a further preferred embodiment, the physical interface is a USB interface.

摘要:
A method for acquisition of a software application stored on a software application distribution unit and intended to be supplied to a user computer unit is disclosed wherein, the user computer unit communicates an item of identification information identifying the software application to be acquired to an electronic security module connected to the user computer unit. The module generates, using a secret and identification information, an item of user information and transmits it with the identification information to the unit. The unit protects with the user information the software application identified by the identification information and the protected software application is transmitted to the user computer unit. Thus, the software application is protected with an item of information from the electronic security module of the user. The protected software application then has its protection removed on an electronic security unit equipped with an electronic security module.
摘要:
A 3D object is protected by a first device that receives the 3D object, permutes the coordinates of at least one dimension of at least some of the points of the 3D object to obtain a protected 3D object, and outputs the protected 3D object. The coordinates of the dimensions are preferably permuted independently of the permutations of the other dimensions. The protected 3D object is unprotected by a second device (140) by receiving the protected 3D object, permuting the coordinates of at least one dimension of at least some the points of the protected 3D object to obtain an unprotected 3D object, and outputting the unprotected 3D object. Also provided are the first device, the second device and computer readable storage media.

A 3D object is protected by a first device that receives the 3D object, generates translation vectors that are added to the points of the 3D object to obtain a protected 3D object, and outputs the protected 3D object. The protected 3D object is unprotected by a second device by receiving the protected 3D object, generating translation vectors that are subtracted from the points of the protected 3D object to obtain an unprotected 3D object, and outputting the unprotected 3D object. Also provided are the first device, the second device and computer readable storage media.
摘要:
A method of executing a software application. A storage device stores connection data, an identifier of the software application, a context selector, and an application launcher. An execution device connects, using the connection data, to a server. The storage device transfers the context selector to the execution device, which executes it to generate a first context for the execution device. The identifier and the first context are sent to the server from which the storage device receives the software application, which is stored with the first context. The application launcher is transferred to the execution device for execution. A second context of the execution device is generated and the storage device checks if it matches the first context. If so, the storage device transfers the software application to the execution device where it is executed.
摘要:
A device and a method for graphical passwords. A device displays an initial image comprising a plurality of graphical elements, each graphical element having at least two variants; receives user input to select a variant of a number of the graphical elements, thereby generating a modified image; and generates the secret value from at least the selected variants of the graphical elements. The graphical elements are advantageously seamlessly integrated in the images, thereby making the system resistant to shoulder surfing attacks.
