  • Publication number: 20060047548
    Abstract: A method for automatically filling an electronic timesheet includes extracting one or more calendar entries from an electronic calendar and matching each calendar entry of the one or more calendar entries to a corresponding project of a list of projects. An electronic timesheet is then filled based on each calendar entry matched with the corresponding project.

  • Publication number: 20060036698
    Abstract: A system to update a filter to discourage a sender from communicating an electronic message to a user. The system receives a message from a sender that includes a network address of the sender and determines whether to discourage the sender from communicating a second message to the user based on input from a user. If a user indicates that the sender should be discouraged, the system updates the filter by registering the network address of the sender in the filter that is subsequently utilized to communicate a response message to the sender that includes an error code indicating that the network address of the user is an invalid network address. A system to use a filter to discourage a sender from communicating the second message to a user and a system to automatically remove a user from a mailing list are also described.

  • Publication number: 20050268096
    Abstract: A system for providing secured access to an application service includes a challenge provider that uses a first cryptographic technique to provide a challenge to a client seeking access to an application service. The client uses a second cryptographic technique to generate a response, and provides the response to an authentication service. The authentication service grants the client access to the application service only if the challenge and response are authenticated using a first authentication technique complementary to the first cryptographic technique and a second authentication technique complementary to the second cryptographic technique, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20050235165
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for document encryption. In one embodiment, an adaptation engine is provided for partial encryption of a document. The adaptation engine may include a paginator for paginating the document into at least one sub-page according to characteristics of a specific device class. The adaptation engine may further include an encryptor for separately encrypting a to-be-encrypted element of the at least one sub-page using a partial encryption mechanism known by a client device that belongs to the specific device class.

  • Publication number: 20050154741
    Abstract: Methods and computer systems are provided for workflow management. A workflow engine may be provided that creates workflow items. Each workflow item may include a self descriptive part that specifies details for generating a device independent representations of a corresponding workflow item. Further, a workflow manager may be provided that generates the device independent representation based on the self descriptive part.
