| 20090217370 | SAFE FILE TRANSMISSION AND REPUTATION LOOKUP - Safe file transmission and reputation lookup. As a part of the safe file transmission and reputation lookup methodology, a data file that is to be made available to a data file receiver is accessed and it is determined whether the data file needs to be provided a protective file. The data file is wrapped in a protective file to create a non-executing package file. Access is provided to the non-executing package file where the associated data file is prevented from being executed until data file reputation information is received. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090327430 | DETERMINING EMAIL FILTERING TYPE BASED ON SENDER CLASSIFICATION - Determining email filtering type based on sender classification. Incoming email is accessed and a sender of the incoming email is identified. The reputation of the sender of the incoming email is determined. An email sender classification is made based on the reputation of the sender. A determination of the type of filtering operations to be performed by an email filter on the email is made based on the classification. The parameters of the type of filtering operations to be performed are determined. The parameters of the type of filtering operations to be performed are provided to the email filter. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090249480 | MINING USER BEHAVIOR DATA FOR IP ADDRESS SPACE INTELLIGENCE - The claimed subject matter is directed to mining user behavior data for increasing Internet Protocol (“IP”) space intelligence. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system of mining user behavior within an IP address space and the application of the IP address space intelligence derived from the mined user behavior. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20080319932 | CLASSIFICATION USING A CASCADE APPROACH - A system and method that facilitates and effectuates optimizing a classifier for greater performance in a specific region of classification that is of interest, such as a low false positive rate or a low false negative rate. A two-stage classification model can be trained and employed, where the first stage classification is optimized over the entire classification region and the second stage classifier is optimized for the specific region of interest. During training the entire set of training data is employed by a first stage classifier. Only data that is classified by the first stage classifier or by cross validation to fall within a region of interest is used to train the second stage classifier. During classification, data that is classified within the region of interest by the first classification is given the first stage classifier's classification value, otherwise the classification value for the instance of data from the second stage classifier is used. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090006575 | Detection and Removal of Undesirable Items in a Data Processing Environment - Functionality is described for addressing a threat to the security of a user device that utilizes a network-accessible service. The functionality operates by assessing the likelihood that the user device is infected by the undesirable item. When the user device makes a request to access the network-accessible service, the functionality can interact with the user device in a manner that is governed by the assessed likelihood that the user device is infected by the undesirable item. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090265786 | AUTOMATIC BOTNET SPAM SIGNATURE GENERATION - A framework may be used for generating URL signatures to identify botnet spam and membership. The framework may take a set of unlabeled emails as input that are grouped based on URLs contained within the emails. The framework may return a set of spam URL signatures and a list of corresponding botnet host IP addresses by analyzing the URLs within the emails that are contained within the groups. Each URL signature may be in the form of either a complete URL string or a URL regular expression. The signatures may be used to identify spam emails launched from botnets, while the knowledge of botnet host identities can help filter other spam emails also sent by them. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100162391 | Online Risk Mitigation - Online risk mitigation techniques are described. In an implementation, a service is queried for a reputation associated with an object from an online source in response to selection of the object. A backup of a client that is to receive the object is stored prior to obtaining the object when the reputation does not meet a threshold reputation level. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20080219495 | Image Comparison - Image comparison techniques are described to compare an image with a database of image information. In an implementation, an image is converted to normalized intensity pixels which are shingled to determine individual shingle hash values. Interesting shingle hash values may be implemented as a fingerprint for comparison with fingerprints of known images. Further, the image fingerprint may be hashed to extract a hash table for use in identifying the acceptability of the image. In implementations, the techniques may be used to identify the acceptability of the image in order to flag or block image transfer. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090187988 | CROSS-NETWORK REPUTATION FOR ONLINE SERVICES - A reputation server associates feedback from previous network transactions with an account of a user in a network. A reputation score for the user is calculated based on the feedback to indicate the probability the user will abuse the network. When an online service receives a request to perform a transaction from the user, the online service performs the transaction based on the user's reputation score. Additionally, a server generates a reputation packet including the reputation score for a user for use by an online service when the user requests the online service to perform a transaction. The online service may authenticate the reputation packet with the server and, if the reputation packet is authenticated, the online service performs the transaction based on the user's reputation score. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090300720 | CENTRALIZED ACCOUNT REPUTATION - A centralized account reputation system differentiates between illegitimate users and legitimate users using reputation scores associated with the users' online accounts. The system restricts the access of illegitimate users to certain network services while minimizing its negative effects on legitimate users. The system can manage the life cycle of an online account, considering data about the account that is obtained throughout the account network to compute the online account reputation score and allocating access to network services based on the online account reputation score. For example, a reputation score may be embedded in a security token that can be accessed by multiple services on the account network, so that each service can determine the appropriate level of access to be granted to the associated user account based on the reputation score. Various types of online account behavior over time can improve or diminish the online account's reputation. | 12-03-2009 |
