  • Patent number: 9288210
    Abstract: Techniques are described to provide revocable object access. In an implementation, a user may provide content and an object (e.g., a picture) to be published with the content. The object is uploaded to a storage location, and a uniform resource locator (URL) that includes a token is generated for the object. The token is registered in an access control list (ACL), and token permission settings in the ACL are utilized to control access to the object. The URL may be embedded in the content. When a viewer requests the content, the object may be retrieved from the storage location using the URL. The user may revoke access to the object by changing the token permission settings in the ACL.

  • Patent number: 8863244
    Abstract: Communication abuse prevention techniques are described. In an implementation, a reputation level for a communication is determined based on relation information for a sender and an intended recipient of the communication. A challenge is invoked that is to be completed by the sender before the communication is sent. The challenge is selected based on the reputation level for the communication. The communication is caused to be available for access based on successful completion of the challenge. Access to the communication is inhibited in response to a subsequent determination of the reputation level that indicates that the reputation level for the communication has changed to a new reputation level prior to the communication being accessed by the intended recipient. The subsequent determination is based on additional information associated with the sender of the communication.
