Automatic Update Of Computer-Readable Components To Support A Trusted Environment
View pageUS Patent:
7590841, Sep 15, 2009
Filed:
Jul 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/184555
Inventors:
Adil A. Sherwani - Seattle WA, US
Pranavakumar Punniamoorthy - Redmond WA, US
Rajesh A Deshpande - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 9/00
US Classification:
713156, 713155, 713158, 713160, 713161
Abstract:
The present automatic update mechanism provides a method for periodically checking for updates to support a trusted environment. During the periodic check, an indication from an update service is received if there is a recommended update. Upon receiving the indication, a new revocation list is downloaded from the update service and saved as a pending revocation list. The pending revocation list is then available for on-demand update when protected content requests a higher level of protection on a computing device than the protection provided by a current level of protection on the computing device.

International Classification:
G06F 9/00
US Classification:
713151, 713160, 713165, 713166, 713167
Abstract:
The present automatic update mechanism provides a method for determining whether computer-readable components loaded within a memory device are at a level of protection specified for protected content that a media application is attempting to process. If a current level of protection provides lower protection that the level specified, a file is updated to achieve at least the level of protection specified by the protected content. Updating the file to achieve the level of protection is performed in a manner that minimizes rebooting of a computing device.

International Classification:
H04L 9/00
US Classification:
713164000
Abstract:
A method of establishing a protected environment within a computing device including validating a kernel component loaded into a kernel of the computing device, establishing a security state for the kernel based on the validation, creating a secure process and loading a software component into the secure process, periodically checking the security state of the kernel, and notifying the secure process when the security state of the kernel has changed.

Content Longevity With User Device Domains
View pageUS Patent:
20100306485, Dec 2, 2010
Filed:
May 27, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/473102
Inventors:
Kedarnath A. Dubhashi - Redmond WA, US
Reid Joseph Kuhn - Kirkland WA, US
Reid Joseph Kuhn - Kirkland WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 12/16
US Classification:
711162, 711E12103
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for providing trusted third-party management of user device domains in a digital rights management environment. The system includes a plurality of content providers that distribute digital content items via user accounts having associated user device domains. The user device domains are managed by an independent domain manager. The domain manager includes a device registrar which is operative, for a given user device domain, to receive a request to add a device to the user device domain. If the request is grantable, a domain controller of the domain manager is operative to cause a domain private key to be transmitted to the device being added to the user device domain. The domain private key is usable at the device to decrypt a content key which was previously released to the user device domain for decrypting protected digital content.
System And Method For Using Audio Performance To Control Video Bandwidth
View pageUS Patent:
6373855, Apr 16, 2002
Filed:
Mar 5, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/035142
Inventors:
Russell Downing - West Linn OR
Prakash Iyer - Beaverton OR
Reid Kuhn - Seattle WA
Prakash Iyer - Beaverton OR
Reid Kuhn - Seattle WA
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04J 1500
US Classification:
370468
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for allocating video bandwidth of a channel that carries both video and audio information. The quality of an audio signal received over the channel is determined, and the video bandwidth of the channel is changed based upon the quality of the received audio signal. The quality of the audio signal can be determined by measuring factors including audio latency, the extent to which audio packets that are sent are not received, the sampling rate at which audio information in the audio signal is digitized, and detecting a period of audio silence.
