Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for the secure electronic signing of electronic documents and data. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a first digital representation in a high level first data format of the set of application data; generating a second digital representation in a low level second data format of the application data whereby the low level second data format is different from the high level first data format; presenting an analog representation of the set of application data to a user, whereby the second digital representation is a precise and accurate representation of said analog representation; obtaining an indication whether the user approves the analog representation for signing; if the indication indicates that the user approves the analog representation for signing, generating the first digital signature over the second digital representation using a first signature key associated with the user.

Abstract: An access control system cooperates with a security system. The access control system may be used to control aspects of the security system and the security system may be used to control aspects of a lockset used to lock or unlock an access point (e.g., door). A user can choose to arm or disarm the security system via the access control system and similarly the user may choose to lock or unlock the access point via the security system.
Abstract: Systems and methods for providing identification tests. In some embodiments, a system and a method are provided for generating and serving to a user an animated challenge graphic comprising a challenge character set whose appearance may change over time. In some embodiments, marketing content may be incorporated into a challenge message for use in an identification test. The marketing content may be accompanied by randomly selected content to increase a level of security of the identification test, in some embodiments, a challenge message for use in an identification test may be provided based on information regarding a transaction for which the identification test is administered. For example, the transaction information may include a user identifier such as an IP address. In some embodiments, identification test results may be tracked and analyzed to identify a pattern of behavior associated with a user identifier. A score indicative of a level of trustworthiness may be computed for the user identifier.

Abstract: A method for distributed trust authentication of one or more users attempting to access one or more service providers operating on a network includes performing primary authentication of a user using a first authentication factor, generating a first partial digital signature for a first authentication response to the primary authentication, performing secondary authentication of the user using a second authentication factor, generating a second partial digital signature for the second authentication response to the secondary authentication, combining the first and second partial digital signatures to form a composite digital signature, and validating the composite digital signature.
Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for implementing a phishing assessment that includes a phishing server that implements one or more phishing assessments; the phishing server: identifies legitimate target domain names to be used in the phishing assessment, generates one or more pseudo domain names and pseudo web pages, where the pseudo domain name are visually similar to an identified target domain name and the pseudo web page includes one or more characteristics and attributes of a legitimate web page.
Abstract: An approach for enforcing standards regarding security vulnerabilities for an endpoint user device associated with a user includes collecting, at an inline frame implemented with a web application, endpoint health data of the endpoint user device in response to the user interfacing with the web application through the endpoint user device, generating endpoint health intelligence from the endpoint health data, the endpoint health intelligence indicating endpoint security health of the endpoint user device, generating a first endpoint health notification comprising the endpoint health intelligence, and notifying an administrator of network with the first endpoint health notification.
Abstract: A system for automatically discovering services operating on a network including a service discovery database configured to store expected service behavioral characteristics and service identities of the services operating on the network, a set of service discovery modules configured to collect service behavioral data of the services operating on the network, and a service discovery module controller communicatively coupled to the service discovery module database and the set of service discovery modules, the service discovery module controller configured to generate service behavioral characteristics from the service behavioral data, analyze the service behavioral characteristics using the expected service behavioral characteristics, resulting in a first behavioral analysis, identify a first service identity of at least one service operating on the network from the first behavioral analysis and an association of the first service identity and the expected service behavioral characteristics.
Abstract: A method of testing a web application, wherein a web application is a program that operates on a server and interacts with clients that access the program over a network, wherein further the web application accepts parameters that define results generated from the web application, the method comprising determining which web application uniform resource identifiers (“URIs”) are used to access various web applications on a system, selecting a subset of less than all of the URIs for the common web, wherein the subset is selected at least in part independently of the order generated, performing a security scan on a first URI of the subset of URIs, comparing locality-sensitive hash (“LSH”) signatures of responses to the first URI, determine if the differences between responses exceed a threshold and performing a security scan on a second URI of the subset if the responses exceed the threshold.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for deflecting abnormal computer interactions includes receiving, at a computer server system and from a client computer device that is remote from the computer server system, a request for web content; identifying, by computer analysis of mark-up code content that is responsive to the request, executable code that is separate from, but programmatically related to, the mark-up code content; generating groups of elements in the mark-up code content and the related executable code by determining that the elements within particular groups are programmatically related to each other; modifying elements within particular ones of the groups consistently so as to prevent third-party code written to interoperate with the elements from modifying from interoperating with the modified elements, while maintain an ability of the modified elements within each group to interoperate with each other; and recoding the mark-up code content and the executable code to include the modified elements.

Abstract: Mass storage devices and methods for securely storing data are disclosed. The mass storage device includes a communication interface for communicating with a connected host computer, a mass-memory storage component for storing data, a secure key storage component adapted to securely store at least one master secret, and an encryption-decryption component different from the secure key storage component and connected to the secure key storage component and the mass-memory storage component. The encryption-decryption component may be adapted to encrypt data received from the host computer using an encryption algorithm and at least one encryption key and to write the encrypted data into the mass-memory storage component.
Abstract: In an approach for protecting against use of clones of electronic devices, a first sequence value is initialized on the server and an equal second sequence value is initialized on an electronic device. In response to a first login request to the server from a user operating the electronic device, the first and second sequence values are compared. If the values are equal, processing of the login process continues. Otherwise, the login request is rejected. If the login is successful, a next value is computed for the first and second sequence values, and the next first and second sequence values are stored on the server and on the electronic device, respectively.
