  • Patent number: 9497172
    Abstract: A method of encrypting and transferring data between a sender and a receiver using a network thereby transferring data in a secure manner includes the steps of a server receiving from the sender an identifier of the receiver; generating a transfer specific encryption key specific to the transfer; encrypting the data using the generated transfer specific encryption key; the server retrieving information specific to the receiver that is accessed according to the identifier of the receiver received from the sender, and using the retrieved information specific to the receiver to encrypt the transfer specific encryption key; transferring the encrypted data and the encrypted transfer specific encryption key over the network for receipt by the receiver; the server receiving from the receiver the encrypted transfer specific encryption key and identifier of the receiver; the server retrieving information specific to the receiver that is accessed according to the identifier of the receiver received from the receiver, a

  • Patent number: 8219566
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for comparing portions of document text with potential citation components, determining if individual portions correspond to a citation component, and determining if a set of portions correspond to a valid citation pattern. A set of valid citation patterns is provided. Each citation pattern may include a specified combination of citation components. The invention further relates to identifying potential citation components from text in a document, analyzing a pattern of the identified citation components by comparing the pattern to a set of stored citation patterns to determine if the potential citation is a type of citation, and if so, is it a valid (and/or invalid) citation pattern. Once citation patterns have been determined in the document, annotations may be inserted into the document, and subsequent action may be taken, for example, generating a list of citations, providing research services, error-handling, and/or providing other options related to the citations.
