Methods are provided for determining an enterprise risk level, for sharing security risk information between enterprises by identifying a security response by a first enterprise and then sharing the security response to a second enterprise when a relationship database profile for the first collection indicates the security response may be shared. Methods are also provided for determining whether to allow a request from an originating device where the request may have been initiated by a remote device.

A virtual machine project manager (304) creates a generic, i.e., not user-specific, virtual machine image file (300). Copies of this image file (300) may be distributed to one or more users, each of whom may then use an automated procedure to generate a user-specific virtual machine image file (806) and, thus, a user-specific virtual machine on his/her remote host computer. The generic virtual machine image file (300) may be distributed on computer-readable media, such as a DVD disks, or the file may be stored on a server and downloaded (such as via the Internet) by the users. Each user also receives or downloads a token (302), which contains a small amount of user-specific information that is used by the automated procedure to provision the generic virtual machine image file (300) for the particular user. A virtual machine (808) accesses a security token (1602) connected to a host computer (802) to automatically authenticate or re-authenticate a user, such as when a virtual private network connection (814) is restarted. Substantially identical session identifiers (1802) are used by a host computer (802) and a virtual machine (808), or by two or more virtual machines (808) and (1900), when communicating with an integrated access server (1804). A file server (2206) stores virtual machine images (2210-2214) that are accessed by a plurality of host computers (2202-2204).

Generalized Entity Network Translation provides new state of the art methodology for extending RKI techniques into a truly generalized framework capable of operating at exceptional levels of authenticity without the need for roots, certificate authorities, or other static points in an infrastructure. More astounding is its ability to create trusted authentic entity relationships that require no externally stored state outside of the shared context between discrete peers. The present invention provides, among other things, novel improvements to blockchain-derived systems and provides strong proof of ownership, renewal, roll-backs, and localized state and many blockchain systems more palatable choices for system integration.

Included are embodiments for tokenizing sensitive data. Some embodiments of systems and/or methods are configured to receive sensitive data from a vendor, determine a token key for the vendor, and utilize a proprietary algorithm, based on the token key to generate a vendor-specific token that is associated with the sensitive data. Some embodiments include creating a token identifier that comprises data related to the token key sending the vendor-specific token and the token identifier to the vendor.

Tokenizing sensitive data

A technique that binds encryption and decryption keys using a UID, a UDID, and a Pswd to a client mobile device in an enterprise. In one example embodiment, this is achieved by creating a new user account using the UID and the DPswd in an inactive state and communicating the UID and the DPswd to an intended user using a secure communication medium by an administrator. The intended user then logs into a cryptography key management system using the UID and the DPswd via a client mobile device. The UDID associated with the client mobile device is then hashed to create a H(UDID). The H(UDID) is then sent to the cryptography key management system by a local key management application module. The H(UDID) is then authenticated by the cryptography key management system. An encryption/decryption key is then assigned for the client mobile device.

A method of controlling access to computing resources, comprising providing a first computing device with access to a database containing data indicative of computing resources access to which is controlled by the first computing device and a minimum security capability that a second computing device must possess to access the respective resources, assigning the second computing device a security capability, providing the second computing device with data indicative of the security capability, configuring the first computing device to respond to data indicative of the security capability and data indicative of a desired access from the second computing device by ascertaining the minimum required security capability corresponding to the desired access and by comparing the minimum required security capability with the security capability of the second computing device, and providing the desired access if the security capability of the second computing device meets the minimum security capability for the desired access

Access control method and apparatus

A technique for obtaining a key for encryption/decryption/data recovery from an enterprise key management system. In one example embodiment, this is accomplished by connecting a client mobile device to a cryptography key management using a UID, a UDID, the names of one or more data files to encrypt, a password Pswd, and a KeyID to obtain the key for encryption/decryption/data recovery.

A technique that decrypts data stored on removable media, if the device on which the encryption was performed is lost, unavailable, or the user credentials are lost. In example embodiment, this is achieved by using the administrator UID, the administrator UDID, the removable media, the names of one or more data files to be decrypted, the administrator Pswd, and a KeyID to decrypt data stored on the removable media associated with a lost or unavailable mobile device on which encryption was performed.
