  • Patent number: 10440008
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for dynamically generating a hint to recall a password for a user account of a user. The method for dynamically generating the hint to recall the password for the user account of the user includes the steps of receiving the password for the user account while the user inputs the password field of a login page. The password comprises a plurality of characters. The method, then, converts the password from the plain text to a hash value using a hash function. Thereafter, the method performs a modulo operation on the hash value to obtain an index pointing an object within an object library associated with the user. The method, then, displays, the object as the hint. The hint enables the user to create a mental association between the password and the object for the user account.

  • Patent number: 10069856
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to information security and, more particularly, to systems and methods of comparative evaluation for phishing mitigation. Evaluating the anti-phishing approaches includes: initiating, on a computing device, a phishing attack; initiating, on the computing device, an anti-phishing approach against the phishing attack; and evaluating, using the computing device, different criteria of the anti-phishing approach to determine an overall effectiveness of the anti-phishing approach by applying a comparative framework of evaluation metrics to the different criteria of the anti-phishing approach.
