Publication number: 20230030475Abstract: A user interface for email users which calls attention to one or more categories of emails in different ways. In some species, at least three categories are used: branded senders with Trumarks; white list buddies; and fraudulent emails which are either not from the domain they purport to be from or in which the content was tampered. The preferred embodiment authenticates emails from branded senders and displays them with the sender's Truemark. Branded sender emails have their Truemarks displayed in the sender column of a list view in the preferred embodiment. In a preferred embodiment, white list senders have either an icon or other graphic or photo they choose displayed to the left or right of the sender column with their name in the sender column. In a preferred embodiment, fraudulent emails have a fraud icon displayed to the left or right of the sender column with a warning in the sender column. Antiphishing processing is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Lance Aiji Tokuda, Robert Philip Zager, Jia Shen, Jose Jesus Picazo, JR., Bryan Allen Talbot

Publication number: 20180295137Abstract: An Interceptor identifies requests to access a protected function or resource and dynamically invokes one or more additional authentication tests. The Interceptor for example can be configured as a plug-in for an email client, or can be integrated with native application code (or web content). The authentication tests in one implementation test inherence features, such as biometrics of a user seeking resource access. The authentication tests can be static or dynamically configured by one or more rules, and the protected functions can be designated by the Interceptor or a database or file reference. Dynamic authentication is invoked above and beyond any conventional authentication steps required of a login device (for example, user ID and password or the continued presence of a connected token). Properly structured, the additional authentication steps thwart hijacking and other hacking techniques that can seek to leverage legitimate initial client login.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2018Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Robert Philip Zager, Scott A. Sachtjen, Jose Jesus Picazo, JR.

Patent number: 7487213Abstract: A protocol for protected email transmission using micropayments and a segregated inbox in which protected emails are displayed. The protocol also involves authentication of the sender to defeat phishers and an opt out protocol which can be used to block protected emails from sources from which the user no longer wishes to receive emails even if the source has made a micropayment. Branded email is also taught wherein a sender of protected emails can pay extra to have a miniature version of its brand logo or trademark displayed with its email in the segregated inbox. A white list is maintained on the protected email server (along with the opt out black list) so that recipients can designate specific senders who may send email to that recipient without paying a micropayment and still have the protected email displayed in the segregated inbox.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2004Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Iconix, Inc.Inventors: Robert Philip Zager, William Ames, Jose Jesus Picazo, Jr., Nageshwara Rao Vempaty, Vikram Duvvoori, Chris David Trytten
