Systems and methods provide multiple partitions hosted on an isolation technology such as a hypervisor where at least one of the partitions, a local secure service partition (LSSP), provides security services to other partitions. The service partitions (LSSPs) host those high assurance services that require strict security isolation, where the service can be shared across partitions and accessed even when the user is not connected to a network. The LSSP also can certify the results of any computation using a key signed by a TPM attestation identity key (AIK), or other key held securely by the hypervisor or a service partition. The LSSPs may be configured to provide trusted audit logs, trusted security scans, trusted cryptographic services, trusted compilation and testing, trusted logon services, and the like.

The invention relates to a cross layer design method of up resources of a shared system by the terminal direction connection technology. The method is used for conducting combined scheduling and optimization distribution on frequency, time, space and power resource by combining base stations, a D2D communication end physical layer, a link layer and a network layer. The method includes allowing D2D users to adopt the mode of simultaneously coordinating interference of the D2D client to a base state and interference of honeycomb users to the D2D client when the D2D users share up link resources of a honeycomb system to keep normal communication of a traditional user link and obtain effective gain brought by the D2D direction connection technology, and conducting cross layer resource distribution mode on the resources through the link self-adapting method. The cross layer design method is specifically applied to the following three scenes: 1) a single D2D communication pair and the honeycomb users coexist in a housing estate; 2) a plurality of D2D communication pairs and the honeycomb users coexist in the housing estate; and 3) a single D2D communication pair and the honeycomb users coexist between housing estates.

A system and method are described for activating programming downloaded to electronic devices. The method involves the generation of an encrypted (or encoded) activation key which is produced in response to the network address (i.e. media access control (MAC) address) of the electronic device to which the download is directed. Programming can only be activated within the electronic device upon a match being detected between the activation key and the network address of the electronic device. Typically, the programming would be downloaded from a web site, such as from a manufacturer of the electronic device, in exchange for receipt of a payment preferably executed as an online financial transaction. The system and method prevent the copying of downloaded programs for a given electronic device for use by other users.

A file locker manages the storage and use of protected data for software objects. A protected environment maintains the cryptographic and isolative infrastructure to support sealing of data items for use by a trusted agent. The file locker uses the protected environment's sealing functionality to seal data items for the file locker's exclusive access. The file locker seals, to itself, files received from software objects, and provides those files upon request, and upon sufficient proof of the requestor's trustworthiness, authenticity, and/or identity. The file locker may be used to extend the protected environment's sealing functionality to legacy applications, without the legacy applications having to implement agents that can run in the protected environment and access the sealing functionality directly.
