Abstract:

A system and a method for transmitting data packets over a network to selected multiple remote destinations. The data packets include a header section and a data section. The header section includes a special internetworking protocol field indicating that a list of internetworking protocol addresses is embedded in the data packet. Network elements utilize a particular addressing protocol to access the list of addresses and transmit a copy of the data packet to each of the selected remote destinations corresponding to each of the addresses in the list.

Appl. No.:

09/971513

Inventors:

Jeffrey Schwartz - Loveland CO, US
Troy Roberts - Loveland CO, US

International Classification:

H04L009/32

US Classification:

713/202000, 713/001000

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a system for protecting content stored on a storage medium device. The system may comprise: a processor for executing code to access a user password and a recorded serial number; a storage medium device, the storage medium device being operable to return its associated serial number, and the storage medium device providing a device interface that requires the password to access data stored on the storage medium device; and code for booting the system, wherein the code for booting comprises: code for requesting the storage medium device to return its associated serial number; code for comparing the serial number returned by the storage medium device against the recorded serial number; and code for providing the user password to the storage medium device when the code for comparing determines that the serial number returned by the storage medium device matches the recorded serial number.

Inventors:

Jeffrey Schwartz - Loveland CO, US

International Classification:

G06F012/14

US Classification:

713/189000

Abstract:

An embodiment of a secure boot device selection method retrieves a device identifier from an isolated storage medium, selects one of a plurality of devices to boot in response to the device identifier, and boots one of the plurality of devices. Another embodiment of a secure boot device selection system comprises a memory accessible through execution by a processor of a basic input/output system (BIOS) application and an operating system application, and a plurality of boot devices having an assigned device identifier associated with the boot device and stored in the memory. The BIOS application is executable by the processor and adapted to access the memory, adapted to retrieve the device identifier, select one of the plurality of boot devices to boot in response to the device identifier, and boot one of the plurality of boot devices.

International Classification:

H04L009/32

US Classification:

713/200000

Abstract:

A system for controlled access comprises a processor, a memory accessible by the processor, an index application stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and an entry application stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The memory comprises an identifier associated with granting access. The identifier comprises a plurality of fields. The index application is adapted to randomly generate an index field identifying one of the plurality of fields. The entry application is adapted to request from a user at least a portion of the identifier beginning with the index field.
