Abstract:
1. A system for selectively enabling a microprocessor-based system, comprising: circuitry for obtaining state information describing at least one microprocessor-based system operating condition; circuitry for determining one or more valid converted values, the one or more valid converted values determined based on the state information; circuitry for obtaining candidate authorization information from a user of said at least one microprocessor-based system; circuitry for generating a candidate converted value by applying a data converting algorithm to at least one of: circuitry for comparing said candidate converted value and the at least one of the one or more valid converted values; and circuitry for causing at least a portion of said at least one microprocessor-based system to enter a first state if comparing a candidate converted value and at least one of the one or more valid converted value fail to match and for maintaining at least a portion of said at least one microprocessor-based system in second state if comparing said candidate converted value and at least one of the one or more valid converted values match.
