Patent number: 9773107Abstract: Methods and systems described herein relate to enhancing security on a device by configuring one or more software functions in a trusted zone of a processor using object firewalls, IPC mechanisms, and/or a policy engine. An inter-process communication mechanism and inter-process communication bus enable secure inter-process communication between inter-process communication applications within the trusted zone and inter-process communication applications external to the trusted zone. Adapting, filtering, blocking, redirecting, or otherwise modifying inter-process communications is enabled by the inter-process communications mechanism. Modifications may be controlled by a policy engine within the trusted zone.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: OPTIO LABS, INC.Inventors: Christopher Jules White, Brian Dougherty, David Alexander Hamrick, Grayson Gates Sharpe, Robert Austin Hanlin, Krzysztof Kamil Zienkiewicz, Christopher Michael Thompson, Thomas Charles Clancy, III

Patent number: 9578445Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for synchronizing policy data on a device based on device usage context. By synchronizing policy data on the device based on device usage context, security, bandwidth and energy efficiency concerns associated with the current data synchronization art by intelligently organizing and prioritizing the updating of policy data in compliance with policy data.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: OPTIO LABS, INC.Inventors: Christopher Jules White, Brian Dougherty, Thomas Charles Clancy, III, David Alexander Hamrick, Grayson Gates Sharpe, Robert Austin Hanlin, Krzysztof Kamil Zienkiewicz, Christopher Michael Thompson

Patent number: 9363670Abstract: Methods and systems described herein relate to enhancing security on a mobile device. Systems and methods for mobile device security include restricting access to network resources via an in-location access point device, based on whether the mobile device is in proximity of the in-location access point device.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: OPTIO LABS, INC.Inventors: Brian Dougherty, Thomas Charles Clancy, III, Christopher Jules White, David Alexander Hamrick, Grayson Gates Sharpe, Robert Austin Hanlin, Krzysztof Kamil Zienkiewicz, Christopher Michael Thompson

Publication number: 20140273857Abstract: A system for short-range communications includes a device and a server. The mobile device receives information via short range wireless signals, processes that information, and transmits information to the server. The server uses the information to verify that the information from the device is consistent with a device currently located in the location. Such verification may be done using cryptographic or signal processing techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: OPTIO LABS, INC.Inventors: Christopher Jules WHITE, Brian DOUGHERTY, Thomas Charles CLANCY, III, David Alexander HAMRICK, Grayson Gates SHARPE, Robert Austin HANLIN, Krzysztof Kamil ZIENKIEWICZ, Christopher Michael THOMPSON

Publication number: 20140283136Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying a computing device and/or the user of such a device and granting or prohibit access to one or more devices based on the location of the computing device. User devices include receivers and emitters for localization signals, and behavior of user devices or user interaction devices are modified according to received localization signals. Example systems may provide tracking media streaming to local devices, automatic configuration of transmitters, or adaptation of multi-user interactions based on user location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Optio Labs, Inc.Inventors: Brian DOUGHERTY, Christopher Jules WHITE, Thomas Charles CLANCY, III, David Alexander HAMRICK, Grayson Gates SHARPE, Robert Austin HANLIN, Krzysztof Kamil ZIENKIEWICZ, Christopher Michael THOMPSON

Publication number: 20140282992Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for securing devices in which a secure external authentication token is used to verify user credentials prior to enabling the operating system of the device by loading or decrypting the operating system. Suitable external authentication tokens can include smartcards such as a common access card and may be verified by cryptographic processes either at a local server or via a remote credentials processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: OPTIO LABS, INC.Inventors: Thomas Charles CLANCY, III, Brian DOUGHERTY, David Alexander HAMRICK, Grayson Gates SHARPE, Robert Austin HANLIN, Krzysztof Kamil ZIENKIEWICZ, Christopher Michael THOMPSON, Christopher Jules WHITE
