| 20080250481 | Secure Web-Based User Authentication - Techniques for authenticating a user are described. In one implementation, a user requests access to protected information or resources by providing a user name and a password to a web server that controls access to the information or resources. If the user name and password match a known user profile, the web server retrieves a user identifier (e.g., a personal identification number) and constructs a translation table around the user identifier. The translation table includes the values that constitute the user identifier, random representations of each value, visual images that represent each value, and random image names for each visual image. The information in the translation table is then used to generate a user interface that allows the user to enter his or her user identifier via the user's computing device without exposing the actual user identifier values to the computing device. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090122067 | OPEN FONTS INCLUDING HUMAN-READABLE FONTS FOR COMPILATION - Described is a technology by which an open font type (e.g., comprising human-readable script) may be compiled into compiled font code (e.g., by a just-in-time, or JIT compiler) and used to provide a font for use by a requesting program. In one example, upon receiving a request to load a font, a determination is made as to whether the font is a traditional type or an open type. If a traditional type, a reference to the traditional font is returned to facilitate loading of the font for use by the requesting program. If an open type, a determination is made as to whether the open type font is already compiled and cached as font code; if so, the cached compiled font code is referenced, without compiling. Otherwise the open font is compiled into compiled font code and cached, and the now-cached compiled font code is referenced. | 05-14-2009 |
