TL;DR: In this paper, a three-tier system with a client interface, an application service, a host interface, and a local data memory is described, where the client interface converts client requests to a format compatible with the application service so that application service may process client requests from client programs.
Abstract: A three tier financial transaction system having a local data memory is disclosed. The three tier system includes a client interface, an application service, a host interface, and a local data memory. The client interface communicates data messages between a client program and the financial transaction system. The client interface converts client requests to a format compatible with the application service so the application service may process client requests from client programs. At the initiation of a logical session with a client program, the application service refreshes data for the customer associated with the client program using data obtained from a back end processing system through the host interface. The data in the local data memory is then used by the application service for processing client requests during the logical session. Response data generated by the application service is provided to the client interface for presentation to the client program. Communication between the client program and the client interface is preferably performed over an open communication network. The local data memory permits the processing of the client service request to be decoupled from the updating of the back end processing system to improve response times for client request processing.
TL;DR: In this paper, a user selects a service provider from a plurality of available service providers, and the client device then queries the user for the user's information and formats the information into a predetermined data structure and format.
Abstract: A user of a client device selects a service provider from a plurality of available service providers. The client device then queries the user for the user's information and formats the user's information into a predetermined data structure and format. The client device connects to the service provider and sends the formatted user's information to the service provider. The service provider responsively creates configuration data and provides it to the client device. The configuration data is used to configure a plurality of applications on the client device, allowing the user to establish future communication sessions with the service provider.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system and method which enables an organization or user to manage computational services in a cloud computing network for security, compliance and governance, including creating a trusted virtual network including encrypted data storage, encrypted data transport, and trusted instances of servers all communicatively coupled together forming a trusted cloud computing environment that is associated with the organization.
Abstract: What is provided are a system and method which enables an organization or user to manage computational services in a cloud computing network for security, compliance and governance. The management including creating a trusted virtual network including encrypted data storage, encrypted data transport, and trusted instances of servers all communicatively coupled together forming a trusted cloud computing environment that is associated with the organization. A web portal running on a web server provides a point of access to the cloud computing environment. A workflow is accessed to implement one or more policies in trusted computing environment to manage the trusted cloud computing environment, the workflow customized to the organization. The access control; and to the trusted cloud computing environment is used to ensure access by users authorized by the organization to ensure compliance with adopted standards.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for controlling the transmission of data between a client computer system and the internet network, where the client system intelligently matches the demand and supply of the available bandwidth based on client/user preferences and network preferences.

TL;DR: The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a computer system which employs a trusted display processor (260), which has a trusted processor (300) and trusted memory (305, 315, 335, 345) physically and functionally distinct from the processor and memory of the computer system as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a computer system which employs a trusted display processor (260), which has a trusted processor (300) and trusted memory (305, 315, 335, 345) physically and functionally distinct from the processor and memory of the computer system. The trusted display processor (260) is immune to unauthorised modification or inspection of internal data. It is physical to prevent forgery, tamper-resistant to prevent counterfeiting, and has crypto functions (340) to securely communicate at a distance. The trusted display processor (260) interacts with a user's smartcard (122) in order to extract and display a trusted image, or seal (1000), generate a digital signature of the bitmap of a document image and control the video memory (315) so that other processes of the computer system cannot subvert the image during the signing process. The user interacts with the trusted display processor via trusted switch (135).
