An improved automatically updated timestamp for database systems is disclosed. The automatically updated timestamp can be provided in a hidden timestamp column for a table, where the value of the timestamp column can be retrieved with a query that calls the column by name. Optionally, the timestamp column can be provided for each table in the database system to ensure its availability to applications. For cases where a timestamp for each row in a table is not desired, an automatically updated timestamp can be provided for a data page. This timestamp can be retrieved from an update timestamp recorded on disk and in the buffer pool or from a log relative byte address. Although this is a page-level timestamp, its use may be desirable for infrequently updated tables or where space on the disk and buffer pool is at a premium.

Keys (e.g., decryption key, authentication key) are stored in a non-volatile memory of a display unit. The keys are retrieved in encrypted form into an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit decrypts the keys and uses the keys. As the keys are available in decrypted form only within the integrated circuit and potentially only during use, the keys may not be available to unauthorized third parties.
