US Classification:

717170, 707 1, 707 8

Abstract:

The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for resolving conflicting changes encountered when reconciling parallel user changes to two synchronized trees of folders and files. According to one embodiment, these conflicts are presented to the user as an interface that requires an indication from the user to the winner of the conflict. According to another embodiment, since certain conflicts cannot be resolved independently, they have to be combined and presented to the user as a single conflict. According to yet another embodiment, after the user has indicated which operations are the winners of all or some of the conflicts, the winning operations are applied to the file tree with which they are in conflict.

US Classification:

726 20

Abstract:

An authentication system includes a smart access card issued to a user, a client computer, a desktop authentication module configured to prevent a user from accessing resources of the client computer prior to successful completion of a two factor authentication; a card reader interface providing communication between the smart access card and the desktop authentication module; and an enrollment server for enrolling the access card into a server data store. The smart access card has an authentication credential comprising an authentication certificate and a card unique identifier. The enrollment server is in communication with the desktop authentication module via a network connection for receiving the authentication credential from the smart access card and performing two factor authentication for a user, the two factor authentication using the authentication credential prior to the enrolling.

International Classification:

G06F 12/14

US Classification:

713 1, 713184, 380278, 380279

Abstract:

A method for resetting a pin on an access card is disclosed. The method includes generating a server authentication (SA) public key and an SA private key and attempting a write of the SA public key to the access card over a non-secure channel. The method further includes determining if the access card currently contains an existing SA public key. The attempted write of the SA public key is handled by one of: (i) completing the attempted write of the SA public key to the access card over the non-secure channel if it is determined that the access card did not contain an existing public key; (ii) denying the attempted write of the SA public key to the access card over the non-secure channel if it is determined that the existing SA public key matches the SA public key that is attempted by the write; and (iii) denying the attempted write of the SA public key to the access card over the non-secure channel if it is determined that the existing SA public key does not match the SA public key that is attempted by the write.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707101, 707102, 707103 R

Abstract:

The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for comparing file tree descriptions and generating a sequenced log of changes that transform an old file tree to a new file tree. According to one embodiment, the inputs to this comparator are two tree-structured descriptions called file tree indices, and the outputs are a sequence of file tree operations that can transform the old tree to the current tree. According to another embodiment, the comparator has two top level steps, where at step one it recursively goes through the old file tree index and compares each folder along with its children with that of the corresponding file tree generating a raw operation log, and at step two after the recursion is done, the comparator processes the raw operation log and optimizes certain sets of operations by transforming them into single operations.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/227000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a protocol for the transfer of files to and from electronic devices, especially wireless devices. In one embodiment, the present invention is used by these devices connected by any means to the source of the file. These means can be wireless, modem dial-up, or conduit of a PDA. Since the present invention is used by wireless devices which operate on limited and expensive wireless bandwidth, it is not verbose and “chatty” unlike prior art protocols based on clear-text HTML, XML, or HotSync. The present invention uses HTTP or HTTPS to connect two devices communicating with each other. HTTP is used since it is a protocol that is usually allowed to traverse virtual private network firewalls. The invention allows the server to maintain multiple sessions with different clients. These sessions will end automatically if no data is transferred after a certain length of time has elapsed. These different clients can connect and perform operations concurrently with each other. The present invention supports the following operations, viz.: Identify and Authenticate, List, Get, Replace, Add, Delete, Cancel, and Logout. The invention allows for synchronous transfer of messages to and from the wireless devices. The present invention, in one embodiment, lets the client initiate the transfer. The server does not automate the transfer unless a request is made by the client.

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

707/200000

Abstract:

The embodiments of the present invention are a method of reconciling any changes that have occurred in two file trees since they were last synchronized. According to one embodiment, the reconciler takes as input two logs of said changes made in the respective file trees. In another embodiment, the first log resides on a client computing device, and the second log resides on a server computing device. According to another embodiment, the reconciler outputs two sets of changes that need to be applied to the respective file trees in order to synchronize them. According to another embodiment, the reconciler detects and outputs a list of changes that conflict with each other.
