Abstract: Provided is a process that includes: authenticating a user based on a sequence of transactions that specify a knowledge factor credential where the knowledge-factor credential is lower entropy than the sequence of user-entered transactions, such that possession of the fully entered knowledge-factor credential, without possession of the sequence of user-entered transactions, does not reveal all of the user-entered transactions by which the fully entered knowledge-factor credential was specified by the user.

Abstract: Provided is a process that includes: obtaining a multi-byte character set specifying a plurality of characters; receiving a knowledge factor credential encoded with a plurality of characters of the multi-byte character set, wherein the knowledge factor credential has a longer effective length than an apparent length, and wherein the knowledge factor credential has at least one character outside of a block of characters designated for a locale of the computing device; and providing the knowledge factor credential to authenticate a user.

Abstract: A computer system includes an enterprise gateway server and a remote gateway server connected via a data network, such as the Internet, that is relatively inefficient compared to typical private networks. The remote gateway server interfaces the enterprise gateway server to corporate messaging and collaboration data stored locally relative to the remote gateway server. The enterprise gateway server converts multiple data requests for the messaging and collaboration data into a single higher-level data request that is transmitted across the data network. The remote gateway server receives the request and converts the single high level request back into the original multiple request format for presentation to the messaging and collaboration database.

Abstract: A system for permitting a subscriber to access subscriber information from a remote enterprise network in real-time is presented. The system includes a remote access device with browser capabilities for inputting requests to access the subscriber information. The remote access device communicates with a data center across the data network, and the data center processes the requests to access the subscriber information and renders the requested subscriber information on the remote access device. The data center includes a login server, which receives the access requests from the remote access device, authenticates the subscriber and the remote access device, associates the subscriber and the remote access device with the appropriate remote enterprise network, and dynamically redirects the remote access device to the appropriate remote enterprise network.

Abstract: A system for permitting a subscriber to access subscriber information from a remote enterprise network in real-time is presented. The system includes a remote access device with browser capabilities for inputting requests to access the subscriber information. The remote access device communicates with an application gateway server, and the application gateway server rapidly and efficiently processes the requests to access the subscriber information and renders the requested subscriber information on the remote access device. The application gateway server includes a navigation module, a rendering module, a session module, a data access module, and an authentication module for efficiently retrieving user/subscriber data, such as mail, contact, or other user specific data and compiling and sending browser specific data to the input device.

Abstract: A data center for providing access to subscriber information from a remote enterprise network in real-time is presented. The data center includes a data network interface system for interfacing with a data network and a login system, which includes a login server and a data center messaging server. The login server receives a request inputted by a subscriber on a remote access device across the data network to access the subscriber information and authenticates the subscriber and the remote device, while the data center messaging server hosting the subscriber information. Upon authenticating the subscriber and the remote device, the login server, accesses the subscriber information on the data center messaging server and provides the subscriber information to the remote access device in response to the received request.
