  • Patent number: 9536067
    Abstract: A computer system may have a password entry form with a text field for a user to enter a password. The computer may receive text input from the user and display the text input in the text field. In response to the text input of the user, and without additional input from the user besides the text input, the computer may submit the password for verification of correctness. In some embodiments, submission of the password for verification occurs after a trigger event, where trigger events include without limitation a threshold time elapsing from the most recent text input of the user, a threshold time elapsing from the most recent password submission, entry of a threshold number of text characters, “immediate” submission after entry or deletion of a text character, and so forth.

  • Patent number: 8838962
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for locally storing Web-based database data in a secure manner. Embodiments of the present invention permit Web-based database data to be locally stored at a computer system to increase the efficiency of rendering the Web-based database data within a Web browser at the computer system. Web-based database data can be sandboxed per domain to mitigate (and possibly eliminate) the exposure of the Web-based database data to malicious computer systems. A web server may be required to authenticate itself before it may present database data to be locally stored at a computer system. A web server may be required to authenticate itself before being allowed to access database data stored locally at a computer system.

  • Patent number: 7904574
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for locally storing Web-based database data in a local relational database at a computer system and for managing and modifying the web-based database data from a web server. Embodiments of the present invention permit Web-based database data to be locally stored at a computer system to increase the efficiency of rendering the Web-based database data within a Web browser at the computer system. Web-based database data can be sandboxed per domain to mitigate (and possibly eliminate) the exposure of the Web-based database data to malicious computer systems. The local relational database may be managed and modified by a statement processor according to database statements generated by a statement generator on a web server.
