Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for providing, along with a token, a token assurance level and data used to generate the token assurance level. At the time a token is issued, one or more Identification and Verification (ID&V) methods may be performed to ensure that the token is replacing a PAN that was legitimately used by a token requestor. A token assurance level may be assigned to a given token in light of the type of ID&V that is performed and the entity performing the ID&V. Different ID&Vs may result in different token assurance levels. An issuer may wish to know the level of assurance and the data used in generating the level of assurance associated with a token prior to authorizing a payment transaction that uses the token.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for optimizing bus utilization while maintaining read and write coherence. More specifically the invention provides bus utilization optimization by prioritizing read transactions before write transactions, where there is no collision pending. When a collision pending is determined, then the read and write transactions are processed according to the age of the transaction(s) allowing for data coherency.

A method for checking a computer's operating system for corruption and for de-corrupting it takes the steps of: loading a copy of an original operating system onto a second partition on the main drive, adapting the copy of the original operating system to the existing hardware configuration, restarting the computer from the copy of the original operating system, comparing the existing operating system on the first partition with the copy of the original operating system on the second partition so as to detect corrupted portions of the existing operating system, overwriting each of the corrupted portions of the existing operating system with each corresponding portion of the copy of the original operating system, restarting the computer from the existing operating system and rendering the first partition on the main drive as active before restarting the computer.

Mechanism for two portions of an application to communicate so as to facilitate a transition from synchronous to asynchronous communication. In order to prepare for a possible transition, data flow is monitored between the two portions of the application, each portion interacting with a different hardware entity. The data flow between the first portion and the second portion of the application is recorded. If the second hardware entity is not available at the time, the recorded data flow from the first portion may be replayed by the second portion of the application for the benefit of the second hardware entity. If the second portion of the application is to be reassigned to another hardware entity, the target hardware entity may be sent the second portion of the application, as well as the recorded information. This allows the target hardware entity to replay what has happened thus far for context.
