A digital license sharing method, system and apparatus is provided for use in a digital rights management system. Usage rights in respect of digital content are transferred between content player devices or applications by associating with each player a status indication. Transfer is carried out by transmitting a request to obtain the usage rights from a player requiring usage rights to a player currently holding the rights. The transferring player sets a first status indication to indicate that it is no longer entitled to exercise the rights, and transmits a response to the requesting player to transfer the usage rights. The requesting player then sets a second status indication to indicate that it is henceforth entitled to exercise the rights. Methods and apparatus for creating transferable licenses are also provided that employ a sharable license format including a validated portion and an unvalidated portion. The validated portion, which may be, for example, digitally signed by a license issuing authority, includes characteristic information of a digital content decryption key required to access the digital content controlled by the license. The unvalidated portion includes the digital content key itself, encrypted using an encryption key associated with a player entitled to use the license.

The present invention is directed toward a method and system for tracking webpage requests from web browsers without invading the privacy of the corresponding users. A server receives the webpage requests, and extracts from each of them a user-neutral identifier and URL. The server creates records of these webpage requests, and these records are used to create and update profiles for the corresponding user-neutral identifiers. Since the user-neutral identifiers are not tied to user-specific information, the profiles are made anonymous and user privacy can be protected. However, since each user-neutral identifier is tied to a particular web browser, useful information regarding individual browsing behavior can be obtained. Furthermore, the requested URL's can be categorized before being used to update the profiles, thus eliminating concerns that a user's browsing activity might be tracked from website to website.

The invention discloses a people searching method and system based on face and human body identification; the method selects an identification mode from two identification modes through sharpness determinations, thus providing options for the identification modes, and effectively improving the identification performance; the method uses a human body identification mode to carry out after-detection tracking, thus preventing face identification failure caused by an unclear face, realizing face detection and tracking of a target person, improving the city safety level without changing hardware, and saving modification costs; the method uses the human body identification to realize ID authentication and behavior monitoring, thus reducing ID authentication and monitoring failure probability, and improving post-event tracing back capability; the searching system comprises a data determination unit, a mode selection unit, and a human body identification unit; the human body identification unit also comprises a face obtaining module and a behavior detection module; beneficial effects of the method and system are realized.

A terminal identification method is provided which enables two-way communications between terminals and a network while identifying terminal IDs and protecting privacy. Also, authentication method and system are provided which require no complicated calculating process, less steps and smaller amount for wireless communications, and less power consumption. A server and terminal share a hash function and an initial value determined for each terminal, calculate the same temporary ID by hashing the initial value the same number of times with the hash function, and identify the terminal using the calculated temporary ID. The server and the terminal also hold a common hash function and authentication information, acquire an authenticating communication parameter from communication parameters temporarily common during communication, and generate an authentication key using the authentication information, the authenticating communication parameter, and the hash function. Then at least one of the server and terminal performs authentication using the generated authentication key.

A magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole, a shield having an end face located in a medium facing surface to wrap around an end face of the main magnetic pole, and a gap part provided between the main magnetic pole and the shield. The shield includes a bottom shield, two side shields, and a top shield. The gap part includes first and second gap layers. In a manufacturing method of the magnetic head, a mold is formed on the top surface of the bottom shield, the mold having a shape determined by photolithography and being intended to be removed later. Next, the two side shields are formed on the top surface of the bottom shield by performing plating without forming a seed layer. Next, the mold is removed and then the first gap layer, the main magnetic pole, the second gap layer, and the top shield are formed in succession.

The invention discloses a safety authentication method for hiding an ultrahigh-frequency electronic tag identifier (TID). According to the safety authentication method, the TID is encrypted by using a random number, and is returned in the form of ciphertext, so that an illegal reading-writing device can be effectively prevented from acquiring TID information and performing illegal tracking and identification on an object marked by an electronic tag. Meanwhile, through the authentication method, attacks such as wiretapping, counterfeiting and replaying can be effectively resisted; and the method has the advantages of preventing electronic tag information from being stolen, preventing tag counterfeiting and the like. According to the safety authentication method, a domestic symmetric encryption algorithm is adopted, and double-key and secondary authentication mechanisms are adopted, so that electronic tag validation of batch cards and keys and bilateral safety verification of a single tag and a single key are realized.

The invention discloses a 3G accessed IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) privacy protection method. The method comprises the following steps that a VLR (visitor location register) sends a subscriber identity request, an MS (mobile subscriber) replies the subscriber identity response; the VLR / SGSN (serving GPRS supported node) sends an authentication data request to an HLR (home location register), and the HLR replies the authentication data response; and when the MS is authorized, the VLR / SGSN sends a subscriber authorization request to the MS, and the MS replies the subscriber authorization response. Through the method, the confidentiality of the IMSI is protected by means of key identifiers and key groups; and after the user transmitted IMSI information is encrypted, the information is transmitted by means of cipher texts, so that the IMSI is avoided from being leaked. At the same time, when the HLR generates an authentication vector for the user, an encryption key which is updated in real time is distributed, so that the representation forms are different after the user encrypts the IMSI information for each time, and the user can be avoided from being tracked.

This invention discloses a communication method for MIPv6 mobile nodes including: a mobile node accesses network at the access place and gets a new delivery address to be used to compute PID, and the mobile node uses the PID instead of its hometown address and binds it with the delivery address as the updated messages to be sent to the hometown proxy and communication nodes, which utilizes the PID to resume the hometown address of the mobile node.

A method and system operative to preclude content providers from tracking users, while still allowing content providers to communicate to users. An intermediary, such as an access channel provider for instance, gives content providers non-repeating user-identification-tokens, each of which a content provider can use as a key to access an intermediary resource that facilitates a communication to the user, without revealing the user's identity to the content provider.
