| 20100150153 | END USER CIRCUIT DIVERSITY AUDITING METHODS - A communications network circuit through which data packets are flowing is identified by detecting a first message data packet inserted into the data packet flow by a user, and determining an endpoint destination address of the detected data packet. The circuit using the endpoint destination address is identified and a second message data packet containing the circuit identification information is sent to the destination address. A covert timing channel may be created, and one or more data packets containing circuit identification information may be sent through the covert channel. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110075590 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DISCOVERING HOSTS ON AN IPV6 NETWORK - Methods and apparatus for discovering hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) network are disclosed. An example implementation includes probing a network to determine an Internet Protocol (IP) version 4 (IPv4) address that is in use on the network; determining a Media Access Control (MAC) address associated with the IPv4 address; determining a local-prefix; determining a first IP version 6 (IPv6) address, the first IPv6 address including the MAC address and the local-prefix; determining a second IPv6 address, the second IPv6 address including the MAC address and the local-prefix and the second IPv6 address being different than the first IPv6 address; probing the network to determine if the first IPv6 address is in use; probing the network to determine if the second IPv6 address is in use; and storing an indication of whether at least one of the first or second IPv6 address is in use. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20100150407 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATCHING FACES - Disclosed herein are systems, computer-implemented methods, and tangible computer-readable media for matching faces. The method includes receiving an image of a face of a first person from a device of a second person, comparing the image of the face of the first person to a database of known faces in a contacts list of the second person, identifying a group of potential matching faces from the database of known faces, and displaying to the second person the group of potential matching faces. In one variation, the method receives input selecting one face from the group of potential matching faces and displays additional information about the selected one face. In a related variation, the method displays additional information about one or more face in the displayed group of potential matching faces without receiving input. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100156760 | MOTION CONTROLLED MULTIMEDIA CONTENT VIEWING METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method and system for controlling display of multimedia content. A request to display a multimedia program is received, a motion state of a display enablement device (DED) is determined, and based on the motion state of the DED, a determination is made whether to respond to the display request by providing the multimedia program for display. A determination may be made to provide the multimedia program for display for so long as the motion state of the DED is continually changed. A determination may also be made to provide the multimedia content for so long as the motion state of the DED is continually changed in accordance with a selected pattern. A determination may also be made to provide the multimedia content if a relatively constant motion state of the DED is maintained for a selected time period. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100250969 | Privacy-Enhanced Searches Using Encryption - Encryption with keys that form an Abelian group are used in combination with a semi-trusted party that converts queries that are encrypted with the key of a querier to queries that are encrypted with the key of the encrypted database, without knowing the actual keys. In an illustrative embodiment, encryption is done with Bloom filters that employ Pohlig-Hellman encryption. Since the querier's key is not divulged, neither the semi-trusted party nor the publisher of the database can see the original queries. Provision can be made for fourth party “warrant servers”, as well as “censorship sets” that limit the data to be shared. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110107400 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR RECOVERING A PASSWORD USING USER-SELECTED THIRD PARTY AUTHORIZATION - A password recovery technique for access to a system includes receiving a request from a first party to recover the first party's password to access the system, receiving a selection of a second party from the first party, sending a message to the second party requesting that the second party authorize the request to recover the first party's password, receiving authorization from the second party for the request to recover the first party's password, and resetting the first party's password responsive to receiving authorization from the second party. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100083378 | Contextual Alert Of An Invasion Of A Computer System - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing contextual feedback to a user of a computer system upon detection of an invasion of the computer system are provided herein. An invasion of the computer system is detected and a contextually appropriate alert is selected from a set of alerts. The alert is played immediately upon detection of the invasion so that the user is alerted to the invasion within close temporal proximity to the user's action that resulted in the invasion of the computer system. In addition, details of the invasion are logged to a diagnostic log file for later use by support personnel in repairing the computer system. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110072510 | APPARATUS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR ENTERING SECURE PASSWORDS - Apparatus, methods and/or computer program products are provided that facilitate entering secure passwords into a user device. A user requested image is displayed via a display or monitor of a user device. The image is zoomable to one or more higher resolution levels beyond an initial display resolution, and the image is displayed at higher resolution levels in response to a user activating a zoom function via the user device. The coordinates of a user selected feature within a displayed higher resolution level image are obtained and translated into a password. The password is then entered into the requesting application. | 03-24-2011 |
