Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to a blockchain are disclosed. The systems and methods are comprised of a security agent, a controller, an authenticator, a rules engine, and a policy engine. In certain embodiments, the security agent receives a message from an application, parses the message, and transmits the message to the controller if the message comprises one or more predetermined applicable rules or policies. The controller receives the message with its rules and policies, queries the rules engine and the policy engine to apply the rules and policies, and transmits an authentication request to the authenticator. The authenticator then requests an authentication signal from a user and transmits the results to the controller. The controller applies the results and forwards them to the security agent, which may or may not release the message to the blockchain depending the results.

Abstract: A multichannel security system is disclosed, which system is for granting and denying access to a host computer in response to a demand from an access-seeking individual and computer. The access-seeker has a peripheral device operative within an authentication channel to communicate with the security system. The access-seeker initially presents identification and password data over an access channel which is intercepted and transmitted to the security computer. The security computer then communicates with the access-seeker. A biometric analyzer—a voice or fingerprint recognition device—operates upon instructions from the authentication program to analyze the monitored parameter of the individual. In the security computer, a comparator matches the biometric sample with stored data, and, upon obtaining a match, provides authentication. The security computer instructs the host computer to grant access and communicates the same to the access-seeker, whereupon access is initiated over the access channel.

Abstract: The invention described herein provides a method and system for foiling a keylogger by creating a custom keyboard driver and passing the keystrokes directly to the browser in an encrypted format. The browser (which is used to access the Internet) has a component that decrypts the keystroke before it is sent to the website. Thus the present invention enables the user to go to any website and enter sensitive information (passwords, credit card numbers, etc.) without the keystrokes being intercepted by Keyloggers. In general terms, the invention described herein provides a method and system for (1) modifying the keyboard driver, (2) encrypting the keystrokes between the keyboard driver and the browser, and (3) notifying the user if the invention has been compromised.

Abstract: The present invention secures user data throughout its lifecycle—(1) when entering data into the mobile device, (2) when storing the data in the mobile device, and (3) when transmitting data from the mobile device. In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, the invention features a methodology for encrypting and passing the keystrokes to the application in an encrypted format. In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, the invention features a methodology to store data in a vault in an encrypted form and launch an application with the data from the vault. In accordance with a third aspect of the invention, the invention features a methodology to transmit data from the mobile device to an external application securely.

Abstract: This invention provides a improved computer network firewall that includes one or more features for increased security. A firewall in accordance with the invention can be configured with rules being added and removed by a firewall controller. Dynamic rules may be used in addition to pre-loaded access rules. A firewall client on a user's computer is used to “logon” to the firewall controller and after being authenticated by it, can access the firewall.
