| 20080271146 | Identifying a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack within a network and defending against such an attack - The invention provides methods, apparatus and systems for detecting distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks within the Internet by sampling packets at a point or points in Internet backbone connections to determine a packet metric parameter. The packet metric parameter which might comprise the volume of packets received is analysed over selected time intervals with respect to specified geographical locations in which the hosts transmitting the packets are located. The expected behaviour can be employed to identify traffic distortions revealing a DDoS attack. In a complementary aspect, the invention provides a method of authenticating packets at routers in order to elevate the QoS of authenticated packets. This method can be used to block or filter packets and can be used in conjunction with the DDoS attack detection system to defend against DDoS attacks within the Internet in a distributed manner. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080313469 | STATELESS METHODS FOR RESOURCE HIDING AND ACCESS CONTROL SUPPORT BASED ON URI ENCRYPTION - An apparatus and method are disclosed for enabling controlled access to resources at a resource provider server. The invention may encrypt or decrypt a portion of a uniform resource identifier (URI), according to a stateless method for hiding resources and/or providing access control support. Upon receipt of a URI having an encrypted portion, the invention decrypts the encrypted portion using a predetermined key to obtain a decrypted segment, extracts additional information from the decrypted segment and forms a decrypted URI, before the decrypted URI is forwarded to a resource producer server. The invention may also encrypt a URI from a resource provider server before it is sent to a client in response to a client request. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090204690 | IDENTIFYING A LOCATION OF A SERVER - A method for identifying a geographic location of a server. A request is delivered to the server to send back a message via a cellular network; the message of the server is received via a cell of the cellular network; cell location information about the geographic location of the cell that received the message is delivered; the cell location information is used as information about the geographic location of the server. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090313136 | Stateless Methods for Resource Hiding and Access Control Support Based on URI Encryption - An apparatus and method are disclosed for enabling controlled access to resources at a resource provider server. The invention may encrypt or decrypt a portion of a uniform resource identifier (URI), according to a stateless method for hiding resources and/or providing access control support. Upon receipt of a URI having an encrypted portion, the invention decrypts the encrypted portion using a predetermined key to obtain a decrypted segment, extracts additional information from the decrypted segment and forms a decrypted URI, before the decrypted URI is forwarded to a resource producer server. The invention may also encrypt a URI from a resource provider server before it is sent to a client in response to a client request. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110035241 | Anonymous Separation of Duties with Credentials - A system for anonymous separation of duties with credentials includes an identity provider, the identity provider configured to issue anonymous credentials to a user based on one or more attributes of the user; a service provider, the service provider configured to issue a pseudonym to the user based on the user's anonymous credentials, and to associate the user's pseudonym with a step of an instance of a business process hosted on the service provider, the step being completed by the user; and an auditor, the auditor configured to determine if the completion of the step of the instance of the business process by the user is compliant with a separation of duties policy. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20110238790 | Auditable distribution of a data file - Auditable data distribution from a server to clients is achieved as follows. The server delivers chunks of a data file, and identifiers of the chunks, to the clients. For each chunk of the data file received by the clients, a digest is generated by the client that received the chunk, using at least a part of the chunk and further data of the client that received the chunk. The further data is known to the server. The client that received this chunk sends the digest to the server, which receives the digest. The server determines an identity of the clink that received the chunk in question, by comparing the digest to the chunks that the server has sent and to the further data known to the server. The server stores the identity of the client that received the chunk. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20100119506 | Effectors of PAR-2 Activation and Their Use in the Modulation of Inflammation - The present invention relates to the recognition that PAR-2 receptors amplify the inflammatory response and that effectors of PAR-2 activation can thus be used to modulate the inflammatory response and thereby impart therapeutic benefit to patients. The invention is particularly directed to the use of PAR-2 effectors in the treatment of inflammation and nociception (pain) caused by inflammation, cancer and injury. The invention is particularly directed to negative effectors of PAR-2 activation, and more particularly to anti-PAR-2 antibodies that are negative effectors of PAR-2 activation. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20090150406 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR META-TAGGING MEDIA CONTENT AND DISTRIBUTION - A unique application within Video that allows for user generated Meta-tagging to be delivered in real time to individual clips is provided. This meta-tag creates its own tail based upon the user generated words population, which is searchable via a “spider network” that runs invisible behind the web pages of the site. These same “tagged” words are broadcast over various delivery networks including but not limited to live feeds from SMS, MMS, News Feeds within Community Web Sites, Video Sharing Web Sites, Widget applications any other forms of electronic communication that will be dropped in real time to identified users and friends of users. | 06-11-2009 |

| 20100096472 | ERGONOMIC SPRAY CAN ADAPTER AND POSITIONING APPARATUS - An ergonomic adapter for an aerosol spray can helps to reduce finger pain and hand fatigue. The ergonomic adapter has a collar that fits around a body of an aerosol spray paint can such that a front portion of the collar is facing in front of the can just below the interface between the body and the domed top of the spray can. An arcuate finger strip extends upward from the rear side of the collar and over the push-button nozzle on the spray can when the adapter is fitted onto the body of the spray can. The collar and the arcuate finger strip are made of a resilient, flexible material such as butyl rubber. The arcuate finger strip preferably has a concave upper surface. The collar has enlarged traction pads positioned to facilitate gripping by the user. When the user grips the ergonomic adapter, the user's index finger rests in the concave, arcuate finger strip. When the user presses down on the finger strip, the push-button nozzle is actuated to expel spray paint, but the pressure from the nozzle is distributed and cushioned so that it does not cause as much pain or stress in the user's index finger. In one embodiment, the front of the adapter includes a compartment that houses a polychromatic light source for lighting the surface and/or a laser guide for targeting and positioning the spray can with respect to the surface. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100096477 | Ergonomic Spray Can Adapter and Positioning Apparatus - An ergonomic adapter for an aerosol spray can. The ergonomic adapter has an elastomeric collar that fits around a body of an aerosol spray paint can such that a front portion of the collar is facing in front of the can just below the interface between the body and the domed top of the spray can. The front of the adapter includes a compartment that houses a polychromatic light source for lighting the surface and/or a light beam arrangement for targeting and positioning the spray can with respect to the surface. | 04-22-2010 |
