  • Patent number: 9058603
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate client-side encryption of form data. A network page that includes client-side code that encrypts one or more data items using a public key is sent to the client. The data items are provided by a user in one or more form fields of the network page. The data items and one or more unencrypted data items are obtained from the client over an encrypted channel. The data items are encrypted using the public key when the data items have not been encrypted by the client-side encryption code. The data items are sent in an encrypted state to a server over an internal network. A firewall is interposed between the internal network and the server to protect the server from the internal network.

  • Patent number: 8838678
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing dynamic cascading for network sites. A request for a resource is obtained from a client. The request includes a version identifier. A location of resource data is resolved for generating the resource. Data associated with the request determines a resource group. The resource group specifies a sequenced listing of resource groups. The location is a first one of the sequenced listing of resource groups in which the resource data is present. The resource is generated from the resource data for presentation to the client. The resource data is loaded from a data cache when the version identifier is less than or equal to a version identifier associated with the resource data in the data cache. The resource data is loaded from a data store when the version identifier is greater than the version identifier associated with the resource data in the data cache.

  • Patent number: 8332284
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing multiple views for an item in a network page. A network page that describes an item is generated in one or more computing devices. The network page includes an image rendering area for rendering a first one of a plurality of images associated with the item. The image rendering area is divided into a plurality of regions. Each of the images is mapped to a respective one of the regions. The network page includes code that replaces the first one of the images with a second one of the images when a cursor hovers over the respective one of the regions that is mapped to the second one of the images.
