Abstract
A system and method for controlling access to an object. The system stores an object and a processor identifier. The system includes a verification agent that can access information embedded in a processor and then calculate from that embedded information a value that may be compared with the stored processor identifier. A comparison agent is used to compare that value with the processor identifier to determine whether the processor corresponds to the processor identifier. If the value that the verification agent returns matches the processor identifier, then the computer grants the user access to the object.
Claims18
A machine readable storage medium having stored therein programming instructions which, when executed by a central processing unit, permit access to information embedded in a processor and subsequently calculate from that embedded information a value that may be compared with a processor identifier stored in a server, wherein the programming instructions include instructions for:
- selecting a verification agent from a plurality of verification agents;
- and
- transmitting a selected verification agent from the server to a client computer.
A system for controlling access to an object comprising:
- an accessible object;
- a processor identifier associated with the object;
- a verification agent for accessing information embedded in a processor and calculating from that embedded information a value that may be compared with the processor identifier;
- and
- a comparison agent for comparing the value with the processor identifier to determine whether the processor corresponds to the processor identifier.
A system for controlling access to an object comprising:
- means for storing the object;
- means for storing a processor identifier;
- means for accessing information embedded in a processor;
- means for calculating from that embedded information a value that may be compared with the processor identifier;
- and
- means for comparing the value with the processor identifier to determine whether the processor corresponds to the processor identifier.
A method for controlling access to an object comprising the steps of:
- storing the object in a computer;
- storing a processor identifier in the computer;
- accessing information embedded in a processor;
- calculating from that embedded information a value that may be compared with the processor identifier;
- and
- comparing the value with the processor identifier to determine whether the processor corresponds to the processor identifier.
