In some embodiments, a method includes: after a message in a message list has been indicated by a user performing a gesture on an input module manipulating a graphical user interface whose content included the message list so as to enable data, which relates to content of the message, and which was not visible when the user performed the gesture, to be displayed to the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for online authentication using audio, video and/or image data. In some examples, audio, video and/or image data of a user may be captured, and recognition may be performed on at least part of the captured data during an attempt to confirm that the user is who he/she is supposed to be. If the attempt is successful, a validation confirmation may be generated. In some cases of these examples, the validation confirmation or a part thereof may optionally be provided to a server during user authentication relating to a resource provided by the server. Additionally or alternatively, in some cases of these examples, at least part of the captured data may optionally be provided to the server during user authentication. Depending on the example, the server may or may not be a web server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program products, and networks for protecting web authentication. In some examples a system for protecting web authentication includes a web client and a validator which is external to the web client. In these examples, the validator is configured to enable at least one validation item which is provided to a web server during web user authentication to be protected from possible tampering by the web client.

Abstract: Systems, methods and/or computer program products for presenting data to a user. In some cases, there is an additional processing of data for presentation, as some or all of the data received via a communication channel is replaced by data derived inter-alia by execution of instructions which were not executed during the original processing for presentation. Additionally or alternatively, in some cases at least some of the data transferred via a communication channel is in a form which excludes instruction(s) that could possibly be unacceptable to security module(s) and/or excludes instruction(s) that may be unsupported by a potential receiving system. In these cases, excluded instruction(s) are recovered and executed during the processing for presentation to a user. Additionally or alternatively, in some cases instead of presenting to a user received data such as content of a previously attached file, the data is stored and a reference to the stored data is presented.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or computer program products for automatic pointer activation, acquiring data not included in an obtained dataset and/or for enabling the later acquiring of data not included in the dataset. In some examples, upon automatic activation of a pointer in the dataset, data associated with the pointer may be acquired. In some of these examples the acquired data may include data which requires prior authentication. Additionally or alternatively in some of these examples, the acquired data or a version thereof may include at least one instruction which would not necessarily have been acceptable to every security module in the channel. Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, a pointer may be a candidate for automatic activation if the referenced provider matches any provider listed as being associated with automatic activation.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, networks, and computer programs for messaging. In some cases a receiving system receives certain message data which was slated to be presented in a message list to a receiving user, including a sending system contact indicator. In some cases, the receiving system uses the sending system contact indicator in determining where to send a message authentication request in order to reach the system which presumably sent the message. In some cases, the request preferably includes sufficient message identifying information from the received message data for the system which receives the request to find a match among sent messages, provided that the system which received the request had in fact sent the message. In some cases, the system which received the request provides a response to the request which reflects the matching outcome.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program products, and networks for messaging including sending, receiving and/or tracking messages. In some cases tracking may include updating receipt statuses of sent messages for which receipt notifications were received. In some cases, additionally or alternatively, tracking may include resending messages for which receipt notifications were not received. In some cases, additionally or alternatively, tracking may include receiving receipt notifications for messages which indicate one or more characteristics of the respective receiving systems.

Abstract: A method for detecting a suspected phishing attack characterized by monitoring strings of characters in a questionnaire presented by a non-approved address to a user terminal for similarity to a substring of a string of sensitive data, such that the substring has a length of one or more characters less than the length of the string of sensitive data, such that on detecting a substring of critical length, an alert is triggered.

Abstract: A method for securely transmitting a message to a recipient whilst allowing subsequent access to the message content, wherein at least part of the message is encrypted, comprising the steps of: (a) encrypting a first piece of content with an encryption key; (b) providing a decryption engine at an address on a recipient accessible server; (c) incorporating the address of the recipient accessible server within the message, together with the first piece of encrypted content; (d) transmitting the first piece of encrypted content together with the address of the recipient accessible server to the recipient, such that the recipient is able to decrypt the first piece of content by uploading it to the decryption engine, and (e) authenticating the sender to the recipient.
