Title: Secure identity authentication method
Inventor: TEJI TARLOK NATH
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2011-10-12
Abstract: A secure identity authentication method for authenticating, over the Internet network, a response from a user module such as an Internet-enabled mobile phone or a computer to a request from an application-programming interface (API) to authenticate a transaction. The method in which a PIN request is sent to the user module which displays an "enter pin" prompt, the user module transmits using a double key encoding system a message, comprising its user ID and the PIN to an identity application server (ISA) which has a database of user IDs and associated PINs. The ISA checks the message against the database to confirm or otherwise that it holds the combination user ID and PIN, and if it is confirmed, the ISA sends a "PIN authenticated" message to the API. The double key encoding system requires a message to be sent from a sender to a receiver encoding using a code known only to the sender. The receiver then encodes the encoded message using a code known only to him, and sends it back to the sender. The sender decodes it using his code and sends it back to the receiver, who can now decode it using his code to get the original message.

Title: Managing a multi-level cache hierarchy for architectural registers in a multithreaded processor
Inventor: GSCHWIND MICHAEL KARL
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2012-07-26
Abstract: A multi-level register hierarchy comprises a first level pool of registers 507 for caching registers of a second level pool of registers 506 in a system wherein programs can dynamically release and re-enable architected registers such that released architected registers need not be maintained by the processor, the processor accessing operands through the first level pool of registers. The registers are assigned to each pool by associating with an entry 502 in one of the register pools. Where a last-use instruction is identified as having a last use of an architected register, that register is unassigned from both first and second level pools once the instruction is executed, allowing the entry to be reassigned to another register. The first level pool may hold recently accessed, or frequently accessed, registers.
