Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A security system assesses the response time to requests for information to determine whether the responding system is in physical proximity to the requesting system. Generally, physical proximity corresponds to temporal proximity. If the response time indicates a substantial or abnormal lag between request and response, the system assumes that the lag is caused by the request and response having to travel a substantial or abnormal physical distance, or caused by the request being processed to generate a response, rather than being answered by an existing response in the physical possession of a user. If a substantial or abnormal lag is detected, for example due to the fact that the information was downloaded from the Internet, the system is configured to limit subsequent access to protected material by the current user, and/or to notify security personnel of the abnormal response lag.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a renderer that is configured to create a plurality of requests for a plurality of data items corresponding to a data set, and to produce from the data set a rendering of a selected data item, a timer that is configured to measure a plurality of response times associated with the plurality of responses to the plurality of requests for data items; and a verifier operably coupled to the timer and to the renderer, the verifier con…
