  • Publication number: 20230409399
    Abstract: A uniform resource identifier (URI) shortening service, such as a URL shortening service, creates the shortened URI along with “synopsis” data relating to the human understandable content of the resource, such as the text and images in a typical web site. Later, when users use the shortened URI to retrieve the resource, if the synopsis data for the resource has changed too much relative to the synopsis data as created at the earlier time of the URI shortening, then the requesting users are given some type of notification or warning that the content of the resource has changed. This can save the end users from wasting time retrieving and reviewing a resource that is no longer of interest due to the changes in the content.

  • Patent number: 11269987
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for security credentials management for client applications. The method includes: detecting a user is entering security credentials for authentication of a client application; hashing at least a portion of the entered credentials to obtain current hashed credentials and storing the current hashed credentials; and comparing the current hashed credentials to previously stored hashed credentials for the client application. If the current hashed credentials and the previously stored hashed credentials match, the method may store the credentials for automatic completion of the credentials for the client application.
