Publication number: 20130031355Abstract: An interactive information dissemination system includes a media server (210) for receiving a plurality of media elements and storing the media elements in a database. A sender client (200) enables a first user to identify message data, a recipient identifier, and a media element from the database of media elements. A recipient client (202) presents the media element to a second user associated with the recipient identifier. The recipient client (202) further presents the message data to the second user when the second user performs a predetermined action, such as submitting authentication information or requesting the message data, to receive the message data. The message data may be secured by requiring sender and recipient authentication, and by encoding the data using a private encoding key and data package identifier managed by a main server (206) and a key server (208).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: Ceelox, Inc.Inventors: Erix Pizano, Donald R.

Publication number: 20120304270Abstract: A network-based biometric authentication system includes a client computer (10), a third party server (24), and a biometric authentication server (26). A user requests access to a web site hosted by the third party server via the client computer, wherein the third party server communicates a deployable object to the client computer. The client computer executes the deployable object, wherein the object enables the client computer to receive a user name, password, and biometric data from the user and to communicate the user name, password, and biometric data to the biometric authentication server in a secure fashion. The biometric authentication server authenticates the user name, password, and biometric data, and communicates the user name and password to the third party server, which attempts to verify the user name and password in a conventional manner and grants access to the user if the user name and password are verified.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: Ceelox, Inc.Inventors: Erix Pizano, Kass Aiken

Publication number: 20120072724Abstract: A computer program for secure encryption and decryption provides a user interface that allows a user to drag and drop files into and out of a secure repository, wherein the program automatically encrypts files transferred into the repository and automatically decrypts files transferred out of the repository. The user can transfer file folders into the repository, wherein the program encrypts all of the files within the folder and retains the original file/folder structure, such that individual files can be moved within the repository, moved out of the repository, and opened or executed directly from the repository. The program requires the user to submit biometric data and grants access to the secure repository only if the biometric data is authenticated. The program generates an encryption key based at least in part on biometric data received from the user. Additionally, the program destroys the key after termination of each encryption/decryption session.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2011Publication date: March 22, 2012Applicant: CEELOX, INC.Inventor: Erix Pizano

Patent number: 8051142Abstract: A computer program, system, and method for granting multiple users access to a secure repository. Embodiments of the present invention provide for authenticating either of first or second users desiring access to the secure repository. In embodiments of the present invention, a respective encryption or decryption operation of files or folders transferred in or out of the secure repository is performed using a key created, at least in part, on an enrolled security template provided by said first user. Thus, even if the second user is authenticated and allowed access to the secure repository, said creation of the key is performed using the security template associated with the first user. In even further embodiments of the present invention, a single storage device contains a plurality of secure repositories.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2010Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Ceelox, Inc.Inventor: Erix Pizano
