| 20090077644 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COMPUTING DEVICES - An apparatus and method for integrating authentication protocols in the establishment of connections between a controlled-access first computing device and at least one second computing device. In one embodiment, network access user authentication data needed to access the at least one second computing device is transmitted to an authentication server automatically if the user has access to use the first computing device, thereby not requiring the user to manually enter the authentication data needed for such access at the first computing device. The network access user authentication data may be, for example, retrieved from a memory store of the first computing device and/or generated in accordance with an authentication data generating algorithm. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20110010556 | System and Method of Secure Authentication Information Distribution - A system and method of distributing authentication information for remotely accessing a computer resource. A request for authentication information, including identity information, is received from a user of a remote device. When the user is authenticated based on the identity information, requested authentication information is retrieved and returned to the remote device. The authentication information, or information generated from the authentication information, is then used for remotely accessing the computer resource. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110117895 | PSEUDO-INTERACTIVE INPUT PROCESSING IN WIRELESS ENVIRONMENTS - An electronic communication device includes a buffer and a controller. The buffer stores characters as they are being input by a user. The controller transmits the stored characters over a network when the number of characters stored exceeds a threshold. The controller also dynamically adjusts the threshold time period. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110154028 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADMINISTERING DIGITAL CERTIFICATE CHECKING - Systems and methods for handling electronic messages. An electronic message that is associated with a digital certificate is to be processed. A decision whether to check the validity of the digital certificate is based upon digital certificate checking criterion. An IT administrator may provide to one or more devices configuration data that establishes the digital certificate checking criterion. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110167484 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COMPUTING DEVICES - An apparatus and method for integrating authentication protocols in the establishment of connections between a controlled-access first computing device and at least one second computing device.

| 20110191845 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE WITH DURESS PASSWORD PROTECTION AND RELATED METHOD - A wireless communication device (and its related method of operation) includes, if invoked, password protected access to data stored therewithin and/or to normal device operations and further includes duress password checking logic that automatically causes a duress message to be sent if a duress password has been entered. The duress message is preferably sent without maintaining any user accessible indication of such sending. It is also preferred that the password checking logic automatically cause an end-of-duress message to be sent if a normal password is entered after a duress password has been entered. A plurality of different duress passwords may be entered into a duress password portion of data memory in the device. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110271322 | System and Method for Configuring Devices for Secure Operations - Systems and methods for establishing a security-related mode of operation for computing devices. A policy data store contains security mode configuration data related to the computing devices. Security mode configuration data is used in establishing a security-related mode of operation for the computing devices. | 11-03-2011 |
