Abstract:

A method and system for assisting input of information. The method and system dynamically translates information being input, and allows user interaction with the translation process. The system is flexibly designed to allow easy use by application developers and users. The design allows a common input method to be used by multiple applications. Users may also customize the input methods to suit their own needs. The input methods support "active" areas of text input, character based input, and phrase based input. The active area can be customized to appear a certain way. Dictionaries are also supported, including optional properties such as grammar and frequency. Dictionaries may also be chained.

Abstract:

A public key management infrastructure (104) is shared by at least two users (102). A method (300) for managing risk arising from a user's use of the shared public key management infrastructure (104) includes the following steps. The user (102) is associated (301) with a digital certificate (200) which is issued and digitally signed by a certification authority (CA). The digital certificate (200) represents that the user (102) is bound to a public key (210) corresponding to a private key held by the user (102); the public key (210) and the private key form a key pair for use in public-key cryptography. The digital certificate (200) further includes an access label (216), which may identify the domain (105) within the public key management infrastructure (104) which the user (102) is authorized to access and/or the privileges which the user (102) is authorized to exercise. The user's identity and the validity of the digital certificate (200) are established (303,305). The access label (216) is read (304) from the user's digital certificate (200), and the user's use of the public key management infrastructure (104) is controlled (306) based upon the access label (216).
