Publication number: 20200112556Abstract: In one embodiment, a user authentication server may use geo-location tracking to determine whether to present an enhanced identity challenge. A communication interface 180 may receive a user login attempt by a user and a current location of the user login attempt. A data storage 150 may store a user location profile of the user. A processor 120 may execute a comparison of the current location to the user location profile. The communication interface 180 may present the user with an enhanced identity challenge before allowing user access based on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2019Publication date: April 9, 2020Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David Steeves, Luke Abrams, Hersh Dangayach, Eric Fleischman, Prabu Raju, Krishna Vitaldevara, Niyantha Shekar, Payoj Baral, Meenakshi Ramaswamy, Winfred Wong, Yordan Rouskov, Ramesh Manne

Patent number: 10404679Abstract: A system and method are described in which a document transaction management platform coordinates performance of trust actions across a plurality of trust service providers. For example, a method can include operations such as send a first transaction request, selecting a first trust provider, facilitating performance of a first trust action, sending a second transaction request, selecting a second trust provider, and facilitating performance of a second trust action. Sending the first transaction request can include a first trust action associated with an electronic document. Selecting the first trust provider to execute the first trust action occurs in response to a first user accepting the first transaction request. Performance of the first trust action is facilitated through the first trust provider. Sending the second transaction request can include a second trust action associated with the electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: David Steeves, Gregory J.

Publication number: 20190238341Abstract: A token or other storage device uses Internet identities to set file access attribute rights. Subsequently, requests to access a file can be controlled by confirming the Internet identity of the requestor by either validating the request with a known public key or retrieving the public key from an Internet identity provider. Files may be stored encrypted and may be re-encrypted with the public key associated with Internet identity making the request.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Todd L. CARPENTER, David Steeves, David Abzarian

Patent number: 10291604Abstract: A system and method are described in which a document transaction management platform coordinates performance of trust actions across a plurality of trust service providers. For example, a system including one or more processors, working memory, persistent storage device and a network connect executes instructions to evaluate a policy including multiple rules controlling performance of trust actions. The instructions when executed cause the system to perform operations including processing a first transaction request including a first trust action, evaluating the first transaction request to determine a type of the first trust action, selecting, based on applying the policy against the type of the first trust action, a trust provider rule from the plurality of trust provider rules, and facilitating performance of the first trust action according to the selected trust provider rule.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: David Steeves, Gregory J.
