Granting an application program access to a resource as a function of a privilege associated with the application program. An embodiment of the invention employs a persistent, individual identity associated with the components of an application program or a group of application programs to allow an operating system to identify and differentiate between different application programs or groups of application programs installed on a computing system.

A method, system, and program for user controlled anonymity when evaluating into a role are provided. An anonymous authentication controller enables a user to control anonymity of the user's identity for role based network accesses to resources, without requiring reliance on any single third party to maintain user anonymity. First, a role authentication certificate is received from a role authenticator, wherein the role authentication certificate certifies that the holder of the role authentication certificate is a member of a particular role without allowing the role authenticator issuing the role authentication certificate the ability to track an identity of a user holding the role authentication certificate. Next, an anonymous channel is established for anonymously presenting the role authentication certificate to a resource protector, wherein the resource protector requires the user to authenticate into the particular role to access a resource, wherein the role authentication certificate authenticates the user into the particular role without enabling the resource protector to ascertain the identity of the user, such that the user is in control of maintaining user anonymity for authenticated role-based accesses.

In a distributed system, a resource such as a storage device is protected by an owner node's exclusive access to it, wherein exclusive access is established via a persistent reservation on the resource. A persistent reservation is never removed, however the owner node's persistent reservation may be challenged in an arbitration process, to take it away from a failed owner node. A challenger node challenges by changing an owner's access key (that establishes the persistent reservation) to a challenge key, delaying, and determining whether the owner restored the owner's access key during the delay, because a properly operating owner replaces a challenge key with its owner access key. If the owner fails to restore its owner access key, the challenger node becomes the new resource owner by replacing the challenge key with an owner access key of the challenger node. The key may include additional information to provide extensibility.

Hardware encrypting storage devices can provide for hardware encryption of data being written to the storage media of such storage devices, and hardware decryption of data being read from that storage media. To utilize existing key management resources, which can be more flexible and accommodating, mechanisms for storing keys protected by the existing resources, but not the hardware encryption of the storage device, can be developed. Dedicated partitions that do not have corresponding encryption bands can be utilized to store keys in a non-hardware-encrypted manner. Likewise, partitions can be defined larger than their associated encryption bands, leaving room near the beginning and end for non-hardware encrypted storage. Or a separate bit can be used to individually specify which data should be hardware encrypted. Additionally automated processes can maintain synchronization between a partition table of the computing device and a band table of the hardware encrypting storage device.
