Systems and Methods for Efficiently Authenticating Multiple Objects Based on Access Patterns
First Claim
1. A method for one of generating and reading authentication information, wherein the authentication information provides evidence that a plurality of objects were one of generated and sent by an entity, comprising the step of:
- using one or more object access patterns indicative of whether at least two of the plurality of objects are accessed within a similar time period to group objects together to reduce an overhead for at least one of generating and reading the authentication information.

Abstract
Techniques for efficiently authenticating multiple objects and clustering objects based on access patterns are provided. For example, in an illustrative aspect of the invention, a technique for generating and/or reading authentication information, wherein the authentication information provides evidence that a plurality of objects were one of generated and sent by an entity, comprises using one or more object access patterns indicative of whether at least two of the plurality of objects are accessed within a similar time period to group objects together to reduce an overhead for at least one of generating and reading the authentication information.

22. Apparatus for one of generating and reading authentication information, wherein the authentication information provides evidence that a plurality of objects were one of generated and sent by an entity, comprising:
-
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative to use one or more object access patterns indicative of whether at least two of the plurality of objects are accessed within a similar time period to group objects together to reduce an overhead for at least one of generating and reading the authentication information.

23. An article of manufacture for use in one of generating and reading authentication information, wherein the authentication information provides evidence that a plurality of objects were one of generated and sent by an entity, comprising a machine readable medium containing one or more programs which when executed implement the step of:
using one or more object access patterns indicative of whether at least two of the plurality of objects are accessed within a similar time period to group objects together to reduce an overhead for at least one of generating and reading the authentication information.
