Publication number: 20130165166Abstract: Some implementations may enable instant messages to be automatically forwarded. For example, a computing device may receive an electronic message and an indication of a sender-specified destination for the electronic message. The computing device may determine whether the destination is available to receive an electronic message using a first mode of communication. The computing device may determine whether a mobile telephone number is associated with the destination. The computing device may transmit a communication to the mobile telephone number based on the electronic message in response to determining that the destination is unavailable and that the mobile telephone number is associated with the destination.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2013Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: MARATHON SOLUTIONS, LLCInventor: MARATHON SOLUTIONS, LLC

Publication number: 20130036302Abstract: A secure instant messaging (IM) system integrates secure instant messaging into existing instant messaging systems. A certificate authority (CA) issues security certificates to users binding the user's IM screen name to a public key, used by sending users to encrypt messages and files for the user. The CA uses a subscriber database to keep track of valid users and associated information, e.g. user screen names, user subscription expiration dates, and enrollment agent information. A user sends his certificate to an instant messaging server which publishes the user's certificate to other users. Users encrypt instant messages and files using an encryption algorithm and the recipient's certificate. A sending user can sign instant messages using his private signing key. The security status of received messages is displayed to recipients.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2012Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: MARATHON SOLUTIONSInventor: MARATHON SOLUTIONS
