The hearing scheduled for this morning on Senate Bill 56 has been postponed. My colleague, Sacramento reporter Jim Miller, provides more details here.
SB 56, which is co-sponsored by state senators Richard Roth (D-Riverside) and Bill Emmerson (R-Hemet) would restore crucial state funding to Riverside County's four newest cities.
Jurupa Valley Mayor Verne Lauritzen..
Jurupa Valley, Eastvale, Menifee and Wildomar lost the money when state lawmakers voted to divert vehicle-license fee revenue from cities to law enforcement grants. New cities got a bigger share of that revenue to help get them started.
The situation is particularly dire for Jurupa Valley which incorporated on July 1, 2011, just two days after legislators voted to divert the revenue.
Jurupa Valley faces insolvency and may be forced to disincorporate in about three years if the funding is not restored.
You can read about that here.
The hearing before the Governance and Finance Committee has been rescheduled to May 1.

Dude, that Dell you're getting sure does cost a lot
Subject: Systems | February 22, 2007 - 08:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
In all fairness, the parts list of the Dell XPS 710 H2C is impressive, without question, but not as impressive as the over $5000 price tag. However, if you are looking to buy an incredibly powerful gaming machine, without any hassle setting it up, and having tech support with it, then this may be perfect. Head over to HotHardware to see how this box won Editor's Choice.
VIA EPIA EN-Powered Ainkaboot Octimod Cluster Makes HPC Scalable and Affordable
Subject: Systems | February 19, 2007 - 05:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Taipei, Taiwan, 19th February 2007 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today announced that Ainkaboot, a London-based company designing cluster servers for high performance computing (HPC) and high availability computing, is shipping the first ultra compact Octimod MPC7-1500 cluster modules powered by VIA EPIA EN15000 mainboards.
Introduction and Specifications
Alienware shows us what a top-of-the-line gaming system is supposed to look like. With a quad-core CPU and the latest NVIDIA SLI graphics, does the Area 51 7500 meet a picky gamer's expectations?
Think inside the box
Subject: Systems | February 16, 2007 - 07:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
X-Gene has created an HTPC case that gives you a little more room to move when creating your perfect system. Virtual-Hideout has posted a review of the Mini, a box shaped HTPC system that is still small enough to fit in a livingroom without standing out, but bigger than most HTPC systems. It still uses a mATX board, but gives you 295x235x350mm (roughly 11x9x13inches). Read on to find out what other features are incorporated in this case.
Ultimate gaming machine, when it works
Subject: Systems | February 9, 2007 - 07:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
[H]ard|OCP has reviewed three ABS desktops, and one notebook so far, and they've increased that to 4 desktops with this review of the ABS Ultimate X8. They have always been impressed by the quality of service they have received, but the quality of the build is a different matter. How would you feel with bad RAM and a botched recovery disk?
The things that HTPCs are made of
Subject: Systems | February 8, 2007 - 08:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
One important decision to make when building HTPCs is to pick a case that looks good, fit's the components you want and keep them cool enough to run. That is really only the first step. Ars Technica offers some help on the next part, what components to stuff inside the case. They have suggestions for everything, from the motherboard to the graphics to the OS. Drop by to get a second opinion on what to stuff that case with.

If you can afford it, the $1691.92 Sweet Spot Machine with a Core 2 Duo E6600 an Asus P5B Deluxe 2 GB of RAM and eVGA's 8800 GTS will give you a nice start. There are 2 other systems, and some alternate components, so go on and get some good advice.
High performace HTPC
Subject: Systems | January 31, 2007 - 10:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
NZXT usually focuses on cases for high end gaming systems, with lots of room for components and cooling. Today, TECHGAGE reviews the Duet, a HTPC enclosure. They have stuck with what they though, this case has two 80mm fans included, space for 2 120mm at either end and another 80mm fan in a duct, so overheating should not be a problem. Read on to take a look at this fashionable case, and what TECHGAGE managed to get into it.

Funding via Agro Capital Management LLC
Viktor is seeking a loan of 12,000 Grivnyas to purchase tomato seeds. Last year Viktor tried planting tall-grown tomatoes and was very satisfied with quality and quantity of his harvest. Therefore, he is hoping to plant solely tall-grown tomatoes this farming season, thus ensuring a stable income for himself and his family. Viktor is hoping to save some money and reinvest it in much-needed reconstruction of two of his greenhouses that are old and need to be refurbished.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

Stephanie McDonagh and Aubrey Ward-El know how to come up big when it matters.
McDonagh scored eight of her 15 points in the fourth quarter, Ward-El had six of her 10 in the final frame, and the Storm rallied to pick up a win in their final game at the Snohomish tournament.
Ward-El, if you recall, made the game-winning shot in the Class 4A state championship game last season.
McDonagh, if you recall, made the game-winning shot in the state quarterfinals last season.
Now the top two returning players from that squad, they are the go-to players for a younger, inexperienced team.
Skyview coach Jennifer Buscher said she likes what she has seen in recent weeks from this team.
"We're making some strides," she said.
Skyview trailed Jackson by nine after the first quarter but won the next three periods for the team's lone victory in three games in this tournament.
Hannahjoy Adams made two key free throws down the stretch to secure the victory.
Gen Lo scored 10 points for the Storm.
At Snohomish Tournament
JACKSON — Kingma 2, Flores 6, Anderson 23, Clinton 0, Charleson 0, I. Clinton 4, Johnston 0, Mason 5, Lochman 2, Boyd 2, Higgins 6. Totals 21 (8) 0-0 50.

The barriers Hispanic farmers face in starting and expanding farming operations in the United States includes the lingering effects of past government discrimination, current marketing and use of information, and their own agricultural traditions. Both the government and the farmers see the need for improvement, but reaching the end goal is a challenge. NET News and Harvest Public Media reporter Clay Masters reports and produces "Hispanic Farmers on Broken Ground." The television documentary features Nebraska Hispanic farm owners, the author of a report on the current state of Hispanic farm ownership in the state, Hispanic students involved in a youth farming organization, as well as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. The documentary aims to examine the obstacles currently facing Hispanic farmers in the Midwest and across the country, as well as look ahead to possible solutions for the future.

The present application is a continuation of prior application Ser. No. 08/987,346, filed on Dec. 9, 1997, entitled "Method and Architecture for Self-Provisioning a Rendezvous to Ensure Secure Access to Information in a Database from Multiple Devices," now U.S. Pat. No. 6,065,120, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material that are subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyrights whatsoever.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to user authentication systems over data network systems and, more particularly, relates to a method and system for self-provisioning, through a first device, a rendezvous to ensure secure access to managed information in a user account by other devices through the rendezvous in a data network, wherein the rendezvous is generally identified by a URL, the first device, coupled to the data network, runs a first browser under a first communication protocol and the other devices in the same data network run a second browser under a second communication protocol.
2. Description of the Related Art
The Internet is a rapidly growing communication network of interconnected computers around the world. Together, these millions of connected computers form a vast repository of hyperlinked information that is readily accessible by any of the connected computers from anywhere and anytime. To provide mobility and portability of the Internet, wireless computing devices were introduced and are capable of communicating, via wireless data networks, with the computers on the Internet. With the wireless data networks, people, as they travel or move about, are able to perform through the wireless computing devices exactly the same tasks they could do with computers on the Internet.
The most common remote access paradigm is, as of today, the one in which a laptop personal computer is equipped with a wireless communication mechanism, for example, a wireless modem. This paradigm may remain useful for a considerable number of applications and users, but there has been a growing need for a mobile paradigm in which the Internet can be instantly accessed by mobile devices, such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants. The mobile devices are generally designed small in size and light in weight. With increasing data processing capabilities in the mobile devices, more and more users start carrying the devices around to materialize their unproductive time into productive time. As more commonly seen, regular mobile phones can return calls, check voice mail or make users thereof available for teleconferences anywhere and anytime, but desired mobile phones, not just reactive to calls but also proactive, can meld voice, data, and personal information with manager-like functionality into a single handset that can effectively, through a host computer, access a myriad of public and enterprise information services in the Internet.
The evolution of the mobile phones or the mobile devices has been fueled by the demand of users for immediate access to the information they are looking for. For example, a traveler may request an exact flight schedule when he is on his way to the airport, or a trader may purchase shares of stock at a certain price. The pertinent information from these transactions may include the airline and the flight number for the traveler, or the number and price of the shares being purchased by the trader. To be timely informed, a preferable way is to communicate the information requests electronically into the wireless data network. The data network, for example, connects to a flight information server or stock quote server so that the desired flight information or the current stock price can be retrieved therefrom on demand. However, it becomes troublesome or impractical to key in lengthy information queries electronically into the data network through a mobile device that typically has a keypad with a few buttons, much less functional compared to a keyboard in a personal computer system. There is, therefore, a great need for a method and system for efficiently communicating desired transactions into a data network through which the transactions can be performed or pertinent information can be retrieved, without the need to key in such information every time the transactions or the information is desired. In many cases, the desired information in a user account, especially regarding personal matters, is preferred to be confidential. Thus, there is further a need for a generic solution that provides a method and means for self-provisioning an account entry to a user account that has the proprietary information therein accessible only through the account entry.
The invention pertains to improved approaches for accessing data on a data network by a mobile device or a computing device. Typically, the mobile device (e.g., mobile telephone with a network browser) has a limited functionality user interface as compared with the full functionality user interface of the computing device (e.g., personal computer).
The invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a method, system, apparatus, and computer readable medium. Several embodiments of the invention are discussed below.
As a method for accessing data contained in a data network system, one embodiment of the invention includes the acts of: sending a request to a server hosting the data to retrieve the data by activating a key of a mobile device, the request being sent by executing a first set of program instructions in the mobile device, wherein the mobile device has a display screen and is in communication over a wireless data network with the server, and further, wherein the data is associated with the mobile device and is also accessible by a computing device executing a second set of program instructions and coupled to the server through a data network; receiving the data from the server via the wireless data network, the data presented in a first format interpretable by the first set of program instructions; and displaying the data on the display screen of the mobile device.
As a computer readable medium including at least computer program code, executable in a mobile device having a display screen, for accessing data contained in a data network system, one embodiment of the invention includes at least: computer program code for sending a request over a wireless data network to a server hosting the data, the data being associated with the mobile device and accessible by a computing device coupled to the server through a data network; computer program code for receiving the data from the server via the wireless data network, the data received presented in a first format displayable by the mobile device and presented in a second format when accessed by the computing device; and computer program code for displaying the data on the display screen of the mobile device.
As a computer readable medium including at least computer program code executable in a server hosting data, the data accessible by a mobile device executing a first browser and by a computing device executing a second browser, wherein the mobile device is coupled to the server through a wireless network and the computing device is coupled to the server through a data network, one embodiment of the invention includes at least: computer program code for receiving a request from the mobile device through the wireless network to access the data; computer program code for retrieving the data; and computer program code for forwarding the data to the mobile device in a first format displayable on the display screen of the mobile device.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and accompanying drawings where:
In the following detailed description of the present invention, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will become obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well known methods, procedures, components, and circuitry have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present invention.
The following detailed description of the present invention is presented largely in terms of procedures, steps, logic blocks, processing, and other symbolic representations that resemble the operations of data processing devices coupled to networks. These process descriptions and representations are the means used by those experienced or skilled in the art to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. The present invention is a method and system for self-provisioning a rendezvous through a thin device to ensure secure access by other devices to information in a database in a data network. The method, along with the system or architecture to be described in detail below, is a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. These steps or processes are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities may take the form of electrical signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, displayed and otherwise manipulated in a computer system or electronic computing systems. It proves convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, operations, messages, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be borne in mind that all of these similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following description, it is appreciated that throughout the present description, discussions utilizing terms such as "processing," "computing," "verifying," "displaying," or the like, refer to the actions and processes of a computing system that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical quantities within the computing device's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computing device or other such device, such as storage, transmission or display devices.
Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views.
The communication protocol in the Internet 104 is the well known HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and runs on TCP and controls the connection of a well known HyperText Markup Language Web browser, (HTML Web browser), to a Web server and the exchange of information therebetween. The communication protocol between the mobile device 106 and the link server 114 via the airnet 102 is Handheld Device Transport Protocol (HDTP) or Secure Uplink Gateway Protocol (SUGP), which preferably run on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and controls the connection of a HDML Web browser to a link server and a set of commands or statements that specify how information is displayed. HDML stands for Handheld Device Markup Language, which is similar to that of HTML. The specifications of both HDTP and HDML, being considered as the wireless network standards, areavailable for additional details. Further, a reference specification entitled "Magellan SUGP Protocol," a HTTP specification with network security features, is incorporated herein by U.S. Pat. No. 6,065,120. HDTP is a session-level protocol that resembles HTTP but without incurring the overhead thereof and is highly optimized for use in mobile devices that have significantly less computing power and memory. Further, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the UDP does not require a connection to be established between a client and a server before information can be exchanged, which eliminates the need for exchanging a large number of packets during a session between a client and a server. Exchanging a very small number of packets during a transaction is one of the desired features for a mobile device with very limited computing power and memory to effectively interact with a landline device.
Referring now to
As is well known, the Internet 104 is typically a landline network connecting computers that utilize the HTML browser. Referenced by 110 is a PC representing one of the computers that use the HTML browser running on HTTP to hyperlink to other computers/servers 132 or 134 to update/fetch information on line or simply copy files therefrom. It should be noted that "user account" and "database" have been used herein sometimes interchangeably when only one account is being addressed. It is generally understood that a database or an allocation of memory, as referenced by 130 in the
A corresponding account 144 in the database 130 is indexed by an account structure 143 comprising subscriber number 142, user information 146, a username 148 and a password 150. Subscriber number 142 is received from the link server 114 as an index to the account structure 143. The user information 146 comprises the account configuration and other account related information. The username 148 and the password 150, namely, the user credential information, control the authentication to enter the account 144 in the database 130. From the data network perspective, any computer can logon through HTTP to the rendezvous 152 identified by an address identifier, often a universal resource locator (URL) taking the form of www.xyz.com. In other words, each account in a database is exclusively associated with a rendezvous identified by a unique URL. As shown in the figure, the PC 110 establishes a communication session with the rendezvous 152 based on a given URL of the rendezvous 152. However, to access the associated account 144 in the database 130, the PC 110 must provide a set of a correct username and password to the rendezvous 152 that performs a verification thereof with the account structure 143. If the supplied username and password match those in the account structure 143, the access requested by the PC 110 is allowed. Otherwise, entry to the account 144 is denied.
The PC 110 can update information stored in the account 144 when the supplied username and password are verified. Using the powerful and familiar HTML browser in the PC 110, a user can key in frequently requested information, such as a list of stock symbols and a list of URLs of Web servers that provide services to the phone 106. All the information entered through the PC 110 becomes immediately available to the phone 106.
A process named webpwd.cpp in the code listing in the appended Microfiche Appendix A illustrates a provisioning process between the phone 106 and the link server 114 in one embodiment of the present invention. Upon the request of the phone 106, the process, specifically in a subprocess called setNameAndPasswordState( ), allows the phone 106 to supply a username and a password and then send the newly supplied credential information to a second subprocess called submitState( ) that checks if the entered username and password are acceptable, namely the username and password should have a certain length and contain no spaces or unrecognized characters with respect to a general rule of being a username and password. If the username and password are not acceptable, the subprocess submitState( ) returns to the phone 106 with a corresponding message being either "You must enter a name" or "You must enter a password." Otherwise, the newly entered username and password are sent to another subprocess called SetUserAuth( ) in a process called HTTPDBMSUserDB. The subprocess SetUserAuth( ) updates the username and password in the account structure 143, which immediately requires all subsequent logins to the rendezvous 152 with the newly supplied username and password. A subprocess Authenticate( ) examines a set of a username and password supplied by the PC 110 and compares the username and password from the PC 110 to the ones in the account structure 143. If the comparison is successful, the subprocess Authenticate( ) returns a AuthPass flag that allows the PC 110 to access the account in the database. Otherwise, it returns a flag that denies the admission of the PC 110 to the account.
It should be noted that the communication between the phone 106 and the link server 114 is through the airnet 102 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.a. Messages carrying proprietary information travelling in the air are not secure. To transact credential information over the open space to provision the rendezvous, a user must have an efficient, reliable and secured manner to conduct private communications with the link server. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an authenticated and secure session between the cellular phone 106 and the link server 114 must be in place before the cellular phone provisions the rendezvous through which the user accesses his/her account from other computers. It is necessary to refer to an architecture of a mobile phone before proceeding with the detailed description of creating the authenticated and secure communication between a user's phone (client) and a server.
To establish a secured communication between a cellular phone (a client) and a server, an authentication process must be conducted first to ensure that only interested parties are actually in the communication therebetween. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the code listing thereof being provided in the appended Microfiche Appendix, the process is complete through two rounds of independent authentication, one being the client authenticated by the server, referred to as client authentication, and the other being the server authenticated by the client, referred to as server authentication. Further, each authentication is completed in two separate steps for a high grade of security, which will be described in detail below. The success of the mutual authentication processes provisions and evidences that the two communicating parties possess a valid shared secret encrypt key through a mutual decryption and a challenge/response mechanism. The mutual decryption mechanism comprises the steps of mutually recovering encrypted messages from two involved communicating parties. The challenge/response mechanism, referred to as nonce verification, verifies a predetermined relationship between a sent nonce and a received derivative thereof.
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the authentication process is conducted with three message exchanges; a Session Request (SR) 174, a Session Reply (SP) 176, and a Session Complete (SC) 178.
Further, the cipher in the Session Request 174 includes an identifier to an encryption algorithm and associated parameters thereof. To be more specific, the first byte in the cipher represents an identifier to a combination of the encryption algorithm, the key size (e.g., 128-bit for the U.S. or 40-bit for foreign countries) and content of a security attachment thereto; and the second byte in the cipher indicates the additional parameters related to the first byte. For example, value 1 in the first byte indicates that the encryption algorithm is block cipher RC5, the key size thereof is 128 bit, a two byte check-sum therein is used as the MAC (Message Authentication Code), no IV (Initialization Vector for block ciphers) therefor is transmitted over the network, and padding bytes are added if necessary. The block cipher algorithm RC5 is part of the RSA's BSAFE product. It can be further appreciated that the identifier in the cipher may be assigned to a unique value to identify a non-secure session if so desired. The C-nonce is a non-repeatable number initially and randomly generated in the client and the modified version thereof; C-nonceModified is generated from the C-nonce through an operational relationship. For example, the Exclusive-OR relationship or expressed as follows:
It can be appreciated by those who are skilled in the art that there are many ways to get the C-nonceModified from a C-nonce, the Exclusive-OR is one of the operational relationships used in one embodiment of the present invention. Both C-nonce and C-nonceModified are encrypted using the shared secret encrypt key between the client 170 and the server 172. The purpose of the C-nonceModified is to provide the server that receives the Session Request with means for ensuring that C-nonce is correctly decrypted and validated by examining the C-nonce and its relationship with the C-nonceModified. Both should not be altered after a successful decryption of the C-nonce and the C-nonceModified. In other words, a Session Request message or signal may be expressed as follows:
SR={session ID, cipher, device ID, Encry[nonce, nonceModified]};
where Encry[ ] means that the parameters or contents in the bracket are encrypted accordingly. When the Session Request is sent by the client to the server to request a session creation, both C-nonce and C-nonceModified are encrypted according to the cipher the client is using at the time the Session Request is sent out.
Upon receiving the Session Request from the client 170, the server 172 creates a server proto-session for the client 170 with a session identifier, referred to as session ID, to identify the session context for the session just created in the server 172. A server proto-session is a session entry marked as a proto status in a session table, which indicates that the session is not authenticated and is not able to conduct any transactions with the client. It is understood to those skilled in the art that the proto-session can be kept in the RAM of the server. If a proto-session already exists for that client, it is re-used. The information in the received Session Request is saved in the server proto-session. If the server 172 is satisfied with the fact that the client is known, namely Encry[C-nonce, C-nonceModified] in the received Session Request are successfully decrypted with the shared secret encrypt key, step one in the client authentication process is successful and a corresponding session key is generated and stored with the server proto-session entry. It may be noted herein that many encryption schemes used in this invention, such as the scheme utilizing RC5, have a procedure that adds and validates the Message Authentication Code, such as the check-sum, to assure that the encrypted message is correctly decrypted. The procedure, every time the decryption takes place, is used herein to examine the transaction integrity, namely to ensure the received messages or signals are unaltered in the cause of data transmission. If step one in the client authentication is not successful, namely, if Encry[C-nonce, C-nonceModified] in the received Session Request are not fully decrypted or supported, the proto-session is aborted and removed from the proto session table, resulting in a failed session creation. What the support means herein is the cipher proposed or used by the client is also used by the server, for example, the client uses the RC5 encryption to encrypt Encry[C-nonce, C-nonceModified]; to decrypt Encry[C-nonce, C-nonceModified], the server must be equipped with the same RC5 encryption capability therein. If Encry[C-nonce, C-nonceModified] can not be successfully decrypted due to other reasons such as transmission errors, the client must reinitiate a new session request to the server in order to establish a secure communication with the server. To challenge step two of server authentication subsequently at the client side, a derivative of the client nonce or C-nonce is generated therefor. In one embodiment of the present invention, the derivative is created by adding a constant to the client nonce, for example, derivative=C-nonce+1. The purpose of the derivative is to provide the client with means for reassuring that the C-nonce is correctly decrypted by the server and the server is the correct server with which the client should be in communication.
Right after the successful step one client authentication, the server 172 responds to the client with a Session Reply (SP) 176 to begin a second round of authentication; server authentication. The Session Reply 176 comprises the following information:
In other words, the Session Reply can be expressed as follows.
SP={C-SID, Encry[sessionID, key, S-nonce, derivative, cipher]}
When the client 170 receives the Session Reply 176 from the server 172, it performs the step one server authentication, which is considered successful if Encry[sessionID, key, S-nonce, derivative, cipher] in the received Session Reply 176 is decrypted successfully with the shared encrypt key. If the step one server authentication fails, the client 170 discards the Session Reply 176 and a new session creation may be started over again. Upon the success of the step one server authentication, the client 170 proceeds with the step two server authentication; namely, the predetermined relationship between the C-nonce and the derivative thereof should be held for a successful step-two server authentication.
If the C-nonce derived from the Session Reply 176 is the same as the C-nonce originally generated by the client, the step two server authentication is successful; hence, the server 172 is considered authenticated, trusted from the viewpoint of the client, and the Session Reply 176 is accepted as a valid message, which means that the client 170 then uses the session key and other information in the Session Reply 176 for the session being created. Only after completing both steps of the server authentication successfully, the client 170 marks the session as committed, which means that transactions can be conducted subsequently in the session, again only from the viewpoint of the client 170. If the predetermined relationship between the client nonce and the derivative thereof does not hold, the step two server authentication fails and the received Session Reply 176 is discarded. The client 170 may abort the session creation process if no further Session Replies are received and pass both steps of the server authentication process during the time period allowed for a session creation. To provide the server with means for reassuring the client authentication by itself through the client, a derivative of the S-nonce, similar to the derivative of the C-nonce, is generated.
The client 170 then sends the server 172 a Session Complete (SC) 178 to complete the session creation process. The Session Complete 178 comprises the following information:
where the derivative is the client's response to the server nonce challenge, namely the result of the verification. The derivative is used by the server 172 for step two client authentication. Further, it is noted that the Session Complete 178 is an encrypted message, meaning that the client encrypts the information in the Session Complete 178 according to either its own cipher or the server proposed cipher. Generally the client 170 encrypts the information in the Session Complete 178 according to the server proposed cipher if it accepts the server proposed cipher, otherwise, it encrypts the Session Complete according to its own cipher.
Upon receipt of the Session Complete 178, the server 172 tests if the client 170 uses its own proposed cipher or the server proposed cipher by decrypting the Session Complete twice using the two ciphers if necessary. If the server 172 decrypts the encrypted message in the Session Complete 178 and verifies the relationship thereof with the S-nonce, the step two client authentication is considered successful. Subsequently, the server 172 promotes the server proto-session to the active session and the session creation process is completed, thereby an authenticated and secure communication session is established between the client and the server. Any transactions in the established communications session are now encrypted by the session key created in the server according to a cipher mutually agreed to by both the client and the server, thereby the transactions between the client and the server are truly proprietary. A code listing of one embodiment of the mutual authentication is listed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,233,608.
Referring now to
As part of the procedures to activate a cellular phone, a user account, or sometimes called a device account, is created in the server 250, the account is exclusively associated with the phone or client 200. In other words, each mobile device in the data network has its own account identified by a corresponding device ID and subsequently a subscriber number in the server 250. The account for the client 200 is therefore created and configured at 252 according to services subscribed by the client 200. Meanwhile a corresponding account structure, similar to 143 in
When a user desires to update his personalized information in his account, he needs to first self-provision the rendezvous associated with his account using the client 200. As is shown in
Meanwhile, as shown in
Meanwhile, as is shown in
With the newly updated user credential information, the user can now log onto the rendezvous from any computer in the data network. A PC connected to the data network (not shown), is equipped with a familiar HTML-based browser. As an example, it is assumed that a user has just provisioned a rendezvous with a username being "marylee" and the corresponding password being "123456". The user now goes to a networked PC that runs a browser and logs onto the rendezvous based on the URL of the rendezvous.
The contents in the exemplary pages shown in
The present invention has been described in sufficient detail with a certain degree of particularity. It is understood to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure of embodiments has been made byway of example only and that numerous changes in the arrangement and combination of parts as well as steps may be resorted without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. For example, any mobile devices equipped with a micro browser, e.g., HDML browser, may be connected, using an adapter, to the Internet directly without going through the airnet. The emerging Internet-enabled electronic appliances are also Internet-connected, all have limited computing powers and keypads but are capable of communicating with a server in a data network. The mutual authentication between such devices and the server thus becomes less complicated. The mutual authentication needs a process of having the client, such as a controller of the electronic appliance, authenticated by the server and having the server authenticated by the client. The process can be carried out in existing encryption mechanisms in HTTPS (an extended version of HTTP with built-in security), in which case, the link server could be replaced by a built-in capability in the device, or the HTTPS or the transceiver or somewhere in the connection to the Internet. The principles of the present invention may still be practiced in such configuration. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description of one embodiment.

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, guests become Merlin's apprentice sorcerers and embark on a challenge to stop Disney villains from stealing one of the four shattered pieces of Merlin's crystal ball. Guests search for villains' hiding places throughout the park, and once there, use spell cards to stop the villains in their tracks.
The game offers three levels – Easy, Medium and Hard – which can be accessed based on how often and how much a guest plays. Changes were recently made to the game's existing "Hard" level and now each time a guest plays at this level, a villain's weakness will change, making the game different and more challenging each time.
No changes have been made to the Easy and Medium levels.

The Magical Ms. Plum
by Bonny Becker
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The theme of this story is to embrace and accept differences. Ms. Plum's magical closet has everything to make her students happy and bring out the best in each of them.
This was a easy read and a page turner. The author really knows how what to write about to get the children's attention. The plot would keep the children interested and wanting to know more.
Teacher with a magical cupboard. Very like Mrs Piggle Wiggle. Didn't love the illustration.
Ms. Plum's students think that she is just a regular third grade teacher, but they soon learn there is something special about her and her supply closet. There is a special surprise awaiting every student who enters her classroom.
Mrs Piggle Wiggle as a teacher finding the perfect solution for each of her students' problems. Shades of the fabled 4th graders. Fun story to read aloud.
Perfect for reading aloud to a class, this is also an ideal book to hand to young readers who can reach the end of a chapter and have some resolution and a sense of accomplishment. This would also be a good pick for readers who are reading above their age group. There is nothing scary here but plenty of interest. Appropriate for ages 6-9.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375856374, Hardcover)Ms. Plum is the magical teacher every schoolkid wishes for!
Everybody wants to be in Ms. Plum's class. It's not just that she teaches the usual things in unusual ways. There's something more, something about Ms. Plum herself—and her mysterious supply closet. Whenever she asks her students to get her an eraser or a pencil or some paper clips, they come back with something . . . unusual. Who'd have thought a pinky-sized alligator, a big-mouth parrot, or a tiny wolf could teach kids a thing or two about life?
Each year, Ms. Plum is certain she's had her best class ever. And it looks like this year . . . she's right!
Relatable behavioral and personality issues are poked gently with empathy and humor in this fun, warmhearted chapter book.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:10:52 -0400)
The students in Ms Plum's third grade class soon learn that there is something very special about their teacher and her classroom's mysterious supply closet.

TF2 Heavy Boxing Wallpaper by SleepDepJoelWatch
©2011-2016 SleepDepJoel
1. Image search pictures of hairy chests for reference.
2. Wife walks into room.
3. Awkward silence.
2. Wife walks into room.
3. Awkward silence.
Soda Pootisnsky?
He looks like John Schlongarms
Heavy does have some serious manboobs and upper arm musculature, but even then, I don't think his nipples should be THAT off-center.
What kinda of jerk goes for the nipple knockout punch? By the looks of that bruising he'll be hemorrhaged and crumpled in his corner within seconds without proper nipple medical attention... M-my icon, it...compels me to volunteer. Yeah, that's it, my icon.
He has nipples of steel forged in the fire of bear rage.
And so he went on to dominate many a boxing match, impervious to blows that would make lesser men curl into fetal position and wish they were born with ovaries. Years after leaving the ring, only defeated once by some little prick that challenged him and lost like...eighty times he was remembered nonetheless as the greatest man to grace a ring corner, they called him... "Steely-Nub Sasha"
I want to add this as my wallpaper, but I'm scared my boyfriend will think I have a hairy shirtless fat guy fetish.
Float like an... er... AC-130
Sting like a... Tank?
Sting like a... Tank?
"No, its alright! I'm researching to draw a burly almost naked Russian!"
Let us fight men ... versus tiny baby men.
Or, as my friend in Tf2 says, 'Let's do it melee style! Guns are for babies!'
Or, as my friend in Tf2 says, 'Let's do it melee style! Guns are for babies!'
Hot damn. This is great man, it looks like TF2 meets Punch-Out!!. Great job!
Good to see you are alive and well Joel, also nice new icon. AND HEAVY BOXING KDJFLAKJ
Job-hunting out here is taking up a healthy chunk of time. I've really gotta try to update more often, though.
Ya try going into Cisco like we discussed the other night?
Not right now, as I've just found a new job.
Awesome man! Whatcha be doin?
Meh... serving tables for now. One of my instructors used to say "There's no shame in putting food on your family's table." At least now we can get into a more strategic position financially.
A step behind, but at this point this is a good start. As I said earlier, if you want to look into Cisco, get a bit computer savy in this small town.
The lighting is really nice. I like your style, too. (Dang, so many TF2 artists have such a nice sixties-esque style.)
Those are some snappy sneakers.
Excellent work!
Excellent work!
thar's little tiny hairs.....a-growin' out his chest!
It is like manly steel wool, unless he's cuddling; in which case it's soft, like cotton.
The epitome of heavy weight.

Aldea Nimasac Group
Doña Isabel notes that she started her business with help from her husband and their family savings. This loan will help her to purchase materials for the animal pens and also to purchase a few pigs and chickens.
The Aldea Nimasac Group consists of 11 women who are engaged in different business activities including raising animals, making candles, manufacturing traditional clothing, firewood collection and sales, and daily consumer goods sales. This is the group´s second loan through ASDIR and Kiva. The first loan was paid back ahead of schedule with no problems.
Additional Information
About Asociación ASDIRASDIR (Asociación de Desarrollo Integral Rural - Association for the Development of Rural Communities) is a community-based organization that works to promote development in the villages and communities where it serves. It was founded in 1999 in the village of Nimasac, Totonicapán Department, by a handful of local men and women to support community projects and group loans. Today ASDIR has 5 offices across 3 departments (Totonicapán, Sololá and Suchitepéquez) serving more than 6,000 clients, most of them in rural communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
