Patent number: 10362063Abstract: A server interacts with a sender to form a package which can include one or more attached data files to be sent to one or more recipients, and the server applies a policy established by a policy authority of the sender to the package. Since the server both forms the package through interaction with the sender and applies the policy, violations of the policy by the package can be brought to the sender's attention during an interactive session with the sender and before encryption of all or part of the package. As a result, the sender is educated regarding the policy of the sender's policy authority, and the sender can modify the package immediately to comport with the policy. The server delivers the package to intended recipients by sending a notification to each recipient and including package identification data, e.g., a URL by which the package can be retrieved.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Axway Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey C. Smith, Jean-Christophe Denis Bandini

Patent number: 10116621Abstract: An e-mail firewall applies policies to e-mail messages transmitted between a first site and a plurality of second sites. The e-mail firewall includes a plurality of mail transfer relay modules for transferring e-mail messages between the first site and one of the second sites. Policy managers are used to enforce and administer selectable policies. The policies are used to determine security procedures for the transmission and reception of e-mail messages. The e-mail firewall employs signature verification processes to verify signatures in received encrypted e-mail messages. The e-mail firewall is further adapted to employ external servers for verifying signatures. External servers are also used to retrieve data that is employed to encrypt and decrypt e-mail messages received and transmitted by the e-mail firewall, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Axway Inc.Inventors: Jean-Christophe Denis Bandini, Jeffrey C.

Patent number: 9338026Abstract: A relay provides message filtering services to an e-mail network. The relay monitors incoming communication and intercepts e-mail messages. The relay applies a policy to received messages to determine whether a message should be delayed. The relay applies a policy to delayed messages by reference to a delayed processing event which triggers the delayed processing. The relay updates policy data in accordance by employing an update module. The relay then restricts the delivery of messages having attributes close to those of harmful data as provided by a policy database.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Axway Inc.Inventors: Jean-Christophe Denis Bandini, Daryl Odnert

Patent number: 7881835Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system for controlling start-up of a motor vehicle by dialogue of the engine controlling computer with the piloted mechanical gearbox, during a restart of the vehicle in stop and start mode. A “start-up authorization” is transmitted to the gearbox at a time t when the following three conditions are fulfilled: a) verifying the position of the accelerator pedal relative to a predetermined “threshold” position; b) the engine is in sequential injection phase; c) verifying a so-called “autonomous condition”, calculated on the basis of the engine speed and of an engine speed gradient compared to a predetermined threshold value. The invention is applicable to motor vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Peugeot Citroen Automobiles SAInventor: Jean-Christophe Denis

Patent number: 7801663Abstract: Method for identifying the thresholds at which pollutant gases are emitted with a view to controlling the operation in “stop and start” mode by stopping an engine just before and while a motor vehicle is stationary, whereby, upon each re-start, the amount of fuel injected is calculated, and the difference between the amount of fuel injected and the normal amount of fuel needed is calculated, the said resulting quantity being considered to represent the amount of fuel that was injected but not burnt; the said amount of fuel injected but not burnt is then compared against a predetermined threshold value, according to the distance covered, and finally, “stop and start” operation is or is not inhibited according to whether the said amount of fuel injected but not burnt is above or below the predetermined threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2006Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Peugeot Citroen Automobiles SAInventor: Jean-Christophe Denis

Publication number: 20020147734Abstract: A policy based archiving system receives data files in various formats and with various attributes. The archiving system examines each data file's attributes to correlate each data file with at least one policy by employing policy predicates. A policy is a collection of actions and decisions relating to the various storage and processing modules of the archiving system. In one aspect, the archiving system scans the content of a received data file to correlate the data file to a policy in accordance with the semantic content of the data file.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2001Publication date: October 10, 2002Inventors: Randall Scott Shoup, Jean-Christophe Denis Bandini
