Methods and systems are provided for sending messages in a security system. In particular, a new message syntax can include one or more positive assertions that may be verified. The receiver of the message or credential may verify all the positive assertions. In other configurations, one or more nodes that relay the message from the sender to the receiver can verify the positive assertions or may create one or more of the positive assertions. In this way, the network or entities used to relay the message can also be checked.

A method for voice-based programming of a voice-controlled device includes executing, by a voice-controlled device, an application for recognizing spoken programming commands, the application including a plurality of keyword phrases each associated with an action. The method includes receiving, by a voice-controlled device, an audio signal representing a user utterance. The method includes identifying, by the voice-controlled device, within the received audio signal, one of the plurality of keyword phrases and data for use in taking the action associated with the one of the plurality of keyword phrases. The method includes modifying, by the voice-controlled device, at least one data structure stored by the voice-controlled device responsive to the identified one of the plurality of keyword phrases and data.

A method of communicating between a sender and a recipient via a personalized message is disclosed comprising: (a) identifying text, via the user interface of a communication device, of a desired lyric phrase from within a pre-existing audio recording; (b) extracting audio substantially associated with the desired lyric phrase from the pre-existing recording into a desired audio clip; (c) inputting personalized text via the user interface; (d) creating the personalized message with the sender identification, the personalized text and access to the desired audio clip; (e) sending an electronic message to the electronic address of the recipient, wherein the electronic message may be an SMS/EMS/MMS message, instant message or email message including a link to the personalized message or an EMS/MMS or email message including the personalized message. An associated method of earning money from the communication along with associated systems are also disclosed.

An integrated circuit card is used with a terminal. The integrated circuit card includes a memory that stores an interpreter and an application that has a high level programming language format. A processor of the card is configured to use the interpreter to interpret the application for execution and to use a communicator of the card to communicate with the terminal.

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for managing and controlling small footprint devices with a lightweight control protocol, such as SNMP. Relatively small control messages are employed that have a compact command portion included in an object identifier portion, thereby circumventing the need for a separate command portion as well as a data body. Also, methods, devices, and systems for improving the security and privacy of processing SNMP messages on SNMP-managed devices by moving this processing together with the sensitive data that the process employ such a cryptographic keys inside the tamper-resistant and tamper-evident boundary of an integrated circuit card.

Use of SNMP for management of small footprint devices

The present invention is directed toward secure access systems. Specifically, a method and system is provided that enhances the security of unidirectional communication protocols used in access control systems, such as the Wiegand protocol. The enhancements may include obfuscation of data, a two-way packet-mode communications, and blind synchronization of pseudo-random number generators.

Secure Wiegand communications

The present invention is directed toward secure access systems. Specifically, a method, system, and device are described that employ a synchronized pseudo-random number generator to secure communications between endpoints involved in a communication. If synchronization is lost between two devices, the two devices can regain synchronization by switching to use of a different pseudo-random number generator that is used for resynchronization instead of communications.

Secure wiegand communications

Methods and systems are disclosed to enable a smart card having relatively low data rate and low computational power to control a high data rate communications channel without degradation of performance. The smart card and an associated monitor/interface, which can be implemented in a network access device, are interposed between transmitting and receiving nodes in a network, and configured to intervene when conditions of rules stored in the smart card are met. For example, the smart card can intervene when a packet header indicates sufficient change in information, such as the exceeding of a predefined threshold or a requirement for user authorization/authentication. In one mode of regulating packet flow, the smart card selectively enables or disables packet transmission, reception, or both, according to the rules stored therein.

Communications network with smart card

A method, reader, and system are provided for performing group authentication processes. In particular, a group access decision can be made upon the analysis of a group rule. The group rule may contain a Boolean expression including one or more Boolean conditions. If an appropriate group of credentials are presented to a reader such that the Boolean expression is satisfied, then the group of credentials and the holders thereof are allowed access to a protected asset.
