Abstract: Embodiments are described that leverage commonly used HTML tags to enable the transfer of large quantities of data in a network. Embodiments are described where large amounts of data can be sent to a server by fragmenting data into small portions and encoding each portion as part of a URL contained in, for example, the src attribute of an <img> tag. The path of this URL can refer to a predetermined resource contained on the server that is responsible for retrieving fragments of data from the requested URL. Each fragment of data can be sent together with whatever additional pieces of information are required by the server to correctly reassemble the portions to obtain the original, defragmented data. Methods are described that enable a client to communicate an arbitrarily large amount of data to a server using only the GET method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for confirming trade transactions via the Internet and/or private network to e-mail addresses. An encrypted electronic envelope and a trade confirmation document contained therein are transmitted to a customer. The customer provides a personal password to decrypt the electronic envelope to open the envelope and view the trade confirmation document. The method of transmitting the electronic envelope and the trade confirmation document provides the customer a secure and convenient manner to receive the trade confirmation. Further, after the customer has opened and closed the electronic envelope, a return receipt is transmitted back to the trade confirmation system to provide immediate notice to the system that the electronic envelope was opened and closed. The present invention also includes an exception handler subsystem for handling errors associated with the trade confirmation system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating secure symmetric encryption/decryption via the Internet. The present method provides for a more advanced and sophisticated manner of preventing hackers from accessing sensitive and private information. Information is encrypted and decrypted using unique keys in combination with the recipient's PIN numbers. Each unique key corresponds to one recipient and is locally stored on the recipient's computer device. Thus, in order to decrypt information using the present invention, the recipient is required to provide the correct password while using the computer device that includes the unique key.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a method of processing an e-mail message that includes a representation of an envelope. The electronic envelope includes a time stamp, sender identity identification and/or other objects that are displayed on a computer screen of the user. Upon initiation of a user action when a cursor is positioned at a screen location corresponding to the time stamp or sender identity identification, this action causes the computer to connect to a location associated with the time stamp or the sender identity identification.

Abstract: An E-mail message enhancement apparatus is preferably implemented through a sequence of program instructions. On the sender side, creation software implements a data format that allows for differing types of content, such as visual images, audio, multimedia, and functional attributes such as links to a sender's home page on the world wide web. Furthermore, in addition to such content in the E-mail message, there is included header information, including the E-mail address of the sender, and recipient executable embedded software that ensures the recipient will be able to view contents and perform the functional attributes that make up the E-mail message.
