| 20080244722 | Method and apparatus for accepting a digital identity of a user based on transitive trust among parties - Method and apparatus for accepting a digital identity of a user based on transitive trust among parties are described. One aspect of the invention relates to managing a digital identity of a user. The digital identity is provided to a first party, where the digital identity includes a self-asserted claim. An acceptance token is obtained from the first party. The acceptance token purports authenticity of the self-asserted claim according to the first party. The digital identity and the acceptance token are provided to a second party to request validation of the self-asserted claim by the second party based on the acceptance token. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080256594 | Method and apparatus for managing digital identities through a single interface - Method and apparatus for managing digital identities through a single interface is described. One aspect of the invention relates to managing digital identities related to a user. An identity policy of an entity is obtained. At least one relevant digital identity is selected from the digital identities. Each relevant digital identity includes information required by the identity policy. A selected digital identity is obtained from the relevant digital identity or identities. A representation of the selected digital identity is provided to the entity that complies with the identity policy. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080289043 | Network risk analysis - Analyzing security risk in a computer network includes receiving an event associated with a selected object in the computer network, and determining an object risk level for the selected object based at least in part on an event risk level of the event received, wherein the event risk level accounts for intrinsic risk that depends at least in part on the event that is received and source risk that depends at least in part on a source from which the event originated. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090129288 | Network traffic identification by waveform analysis - A technique is disclosed for identifying network traffic. The traffic data is converted into a wave vector. The wave vector is compared with a wave template. It is determined whether the wave vector is substantially similar to the wave template. If it is determined that the wave vector is substantially similar to the wave template, the traffic data is identified as being associated with a protocol with which the wave template is associated. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090319998 | SOFTWARE REPUTATION ESTABLISHMENT AND MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Knowledge of a module's behavior when the module's reputation is formed is obtained. If the module's behavior changes, this change is detected. In one embodiment, upon a determination that the module's behavior has changed, the module's original reputation is lost. In this manner, malicious trusted modules are detected and defeated. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20110154434 | Utilizing Location Information to Minimize User Interaction Required for Authentication on a Device - A system and a method are disclosed for authenticating a user of a mobile computing device. Information is received describing the location of the mobile computing device. The information can include the current location of the device or a current type of user activity associated with a location. A current timeout length is determined based on this information. If the mobile computing device has remained idle for a time period equal to the current timeout length, the user of the mobile computing device is authenticated. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110154491 | REMOVING AN ACTIVE APPLICATION FROM A REMOTE DEVICE - A system and a method are disclosed for managing applications on a mobile computing device. A command message is received at the mobile computing device specifying a command and a target application. The command message may have been sent by a application provider server. The command may be a removal command, an enable command, or a disable command. A removal or disable command may be used to remove or disable a problematic target application. The specified command is performed on the target application. | 06-23-2011 |
