A content provider, such as a document publisher or distributor, provides, for example, protected content to a user, for consumption within a trusted user environment. By providing integrity certification and verification services, the authenticity of the content consumption environments can be verified. The content provider forwards to the user a protected version of the digital content which includes, for example, a license agreement and an integrity profile identification. The profile includes, for example, the applications and system components that are allowed to be used in conjunction with the protected content. Additionally, the content provider initiates a request for an integrity profile. This request for the integrity profile is forwarded to an integrity certification and verification device. The integrity certification and verification device can, for example, if an integrity profile does not already exist for the requested applications and / or systems components, query a content consumption system / application provider, who, for example, has supplied the system components to the user. The content consumption system / application provider returns to the integrity certification and verification device authentication information about the particular applications or system components. The authentication information allows a comparison, or integrity verification, to be made between an application and / or system component on a user's system, and the original application or system component as distributed by the content consumption system / application provider.

A system and method for establishing temporary electronic mail (e-mail) accounts is configured to operate with classified newspaper advertising. One of the aspects of the present invention is a file handling method that automates the process of establishing the e-mail accounts through interaction with a publisher's system for taking orders for classified advertisements. Typical newspaper classified advertising comprises two or three lines of text which provide only basic information about an item for sale. With the present invention, advertisers would be offered the option of creating a special e-mail account with a duration tied to the run of the advertisement. The e-mail accounts would be used to receive inquiries about the item for sale. The e-mail account could be also be configured to auto-respond to each incoming message with additional descriptive information about the item being offered for sale. Responders could learn more about the item, and thereby avoid the necessity of calling the seller. Sellers, in turn, can avoid the problem of repeated phone calls to request additional information, and may also remain anonymous while responding to multiple inquiries.

A method and apparatus allows a session key for a encrypted message to be recovered even if the recipient loses or forgets his private key. A session key encrypted using the public key of a party other than the intended recipient of the message is transmitted to the third party such as a certificate authority, who uses an identifier to retrieve private information known to the intended recipient of the message. The third party can compare the private information with private information provided by the party claiming to be the intended recipient. If the private information retrieved matches or nearly matches the private information provided, the third party can decrypt the session key using the third party's private key and provide the session key to the intended recipient. The intended recipient can then use the session key to decrypt the message, without making available the intended recipient's private key to any party other than the intended recipient, or storing the intended recipient's public key on the third party's system. Law enforcement agencies can intercept the message and the session key encrypted with the third party's public key and can provide to the third party a court order to retrieve the session key to decrypt the message without notifying the intended recipient.

The present invention provides virtual mapping of system resource identifiers in use by a software application for the purpose of making the running state of an application node independent. By adding a layer of indirection between the application and the resource, new system resources are reallocated and then can be mapped to the application's existing resource requirements while it is running, without the application detecting a failure or change in resource handles. This layer of indirection makes the application's system resource identifier (system RID) transparent to the application. RID's are usually numeric in form, but can also be alphanumeric. RID's are unique to a machine, and can be reused once all claims to a specific RID have been given up.
