An access control system stores information defining conditions under which each user is allowed to perform resource access. The access control system acquires a first access request indicating an operation for a first resource in a target system by a first user, determines based on the information whether or not the first access request is permitted, acquires a result of an additional permission/disapproval determination of the first access request in response to the disapproval determination of the first access request, and grants execution authority of the first access request by the first user according to the result of the additional permission/disapproval determination indicating permission.

Access control system and access control method

A scale-out storage system includes a plurality of computer nodes each of which has a memory and a processor, and a storage apparatus. The computer nodes have one or more redundancy groups each of which is a group for metadata protection. Each of the one or more redundancy groups includes two or more of the computer nodes including a primary node being a primary computer node and a secondary node being a secondary computer node, and a failover is performed from the primary node to the secondary node. The memory of the primary node has stored therein metadata related to the redundancy group and to be accessed for control. The metadata is redundantly stored in the memory of the primary node and the memory of the secondary node.

Scale-out storage system and storage control method

In an information processing system, a storage control server (storage control node) that has received a read request of data from a compute server (compute node) transmits the read request to a drive box. The drive box that has received the read request from the storage control server reads encrypted read target data corresponding to the read request from non-volatile storage media, decrypts the read target data with key data acquired at a predetermined timing, and then transmits the decrypted read target data to the compute server as a read request source.

Information processing system and data transfer method

The storage part receives an I/O request including the ID of software, information regarding a storage area to and from which the software performs input and output, and a token. The storage part checks the I/O request against the software ID, the information regarding the storage area, and the token received from an I/O control part so as to determine whether access to the storage part is allowed. Upon determination that the access to the storage part is allowed, the storage part processes the I/O request.

Information processing system and information processing method

The system also includes a flag status module that generates a flag corresponding with a transfer status of the usage right, sets the flag to one of a plurality of transfer statuses, and stores the flag in the tamper-resistant portion of the memory. The transfer statuses include a status indicating a request for the usage right was generated by a device with a usage right recovery mechanism.

Digital rights management system

Provided is a semiconductor device having improved reliability. In the semiconductor device in an embodiment, a mark is provided correspondingly to the bonding area of a belt-like wiring exposed from an opening provided in a solder resist. As a result, in an alignment step for the wire bonding area, the coordinate position of the wire bonding area can be adjusted using not the end portion of the opening formed in the solder resist, but the mark formed correspondingly to the wire bonding area as a reference. Also, in the semiconductor device in the embodiment, the mark serving as a characteristic pattern is formed. This allows the wire bonding area to be adjusted based on camera recognition.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

File management system

Embodiments of the present invention provide a simplified authentication transaction for reconnecting a storage device to a host apparatus that has completed authentication in the past. According to one embodiment, an authentication log is recorded in the host. Plural units of this log information are recorded in the storage device. At the time of transferring a content decryption key and usage rules between the host and the storage device, the decryption key and usage rules are recorded into the host as a log for the transfer. The used authentication log is recorded into the storage device as RAPDI. If RAPDI indicates the authentication log in the simplified authentication transaction, recovery transaction is permitted. The host device deletes/invalidates or holds the log for the transfer in accordance with non-permission/permission. In the case of permission, the key and usage rules are recovered by using a log for the transfer prior to the simplified authentication transaction.

Content data management system and method

A photography unit photographs a target, a control unit acquires distance data between a photography position and a target to be photographed of the photography unit, an azimuth angle and an elevation/depression angle of a photography direction of the photography unit together with the image information by an angle distance measurement unit synchronously or asynchronously to the shutter operation of the photography unit. The angle distance measurement unit has a configuration without using an axis fixed onto a mobile object. Coordinate information of the photography position of the photography unit is acquired from the coordinate measurement unit synchronously to asynchronously to the shutter operation. The control unit calculates coordinate information of a photographing target, based on the data of the acquired distance data, the azimuth, elevation and depression angles, and the coordinate information.

A user can watch desired content among a plurality of encrypted contents recorded in a storage apparatus having a large capacity recording medium when the user wants to watch. Usage Pass (UP) necessary for watching content and encrypted content are recorded in a rental storage apparatus. The UP is in an invalid state when the storage apparatus is rented, and processing for validating the corresponding UP is executed between the storage apparatus and a host apparatus through which content is watched to thereby make content watchable. A history that processing for validating the UP is executed is recorded in the storage apparatus. A service provider bills a content use fee to the user based on the history of the storage apparatus.
