  • Patent number: 9397983
    Abstract: A novel architecture for a data sharing system (DSS) is disclosed and seeks to ensure the privacy and security of users' personal information. In this type of network, a user's personally identifiable information is stored and transmitted in an encrypted form, with few exceptions. The only key with which that encrypted data can be decrypted, and thus viewed, remains in the sole possession of the user and the user's friends/contacts within the system. This arrangement ensures that a user's personally identifiable information cannot be examined by anyone other than the user or his friends/contacts. This arrangement also makes it more difficult for the web site or service hosting the DSS to exploit its users' personally identifiable information. Such a system facilitates the encryption, storage, exchange and decryption of personal, confidential and/or proprietary data.

  • Patent number: 9356951
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to verification of client requests based on a response to a challenge (135; 235) included in an HTTP Header. In some embodiments, a server computing device (100; 300; 350) may generate a challenge (130; 230) in response to receipt of a request from a client (200; 330; 380) and may include a random nonce with the challenge. In some embodiments, the server computing device (100; 300; 350) may then verify that a second request includes, in an HTTP header, a response to the challenge (135; 235) that corresponds to the random nonce. Additional example embodiments relate to transmission of a response to a challenge from a client computing device (200; 330; 380) to the server (100; 300; 350).
