  • Publication number: 20190080098
    Abstract: A system and method for protecting user privacy in multimedia uploaded to Internet sites. Briefly stated, the method includes receiving, by a server hosting an Internet privacy protection service, a media item of a subscriber of the service from a social networking service. The media item is encrypted using Digital Rights Management techniques. Policy determining who can view the media item is generated. The encrypted media item is securely stored in a cloud storage network. Storage information, including a URL of the secure storage location for the encrypted media item, is received by the Internet privacy protection service from the cloud storage network. The Internet privacy protection service generates a proxy image by encoding the URL into the proxy image using a bar code. The Internet privacy protection service uploads the proxy image to the subscriber's social networking service account on the social networking service.

  • Patent number: 8990914
    Abstract: Devices and methods for authenticating a user of a mobile computing device to a content server include establishing a communication session between a target computing device and the content server that is identified by a session ID. The target computing device generates a pairing token using the session ID, which pairing token may be a two-dimensional bar code such as a quick response (“QR”) code, and presents the pairing token to the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device captures the pairing token and authenticates the user of the mobile computing device to an authentication server. The target computing device receives an authentication token from the authentication server in response to the mobile computing device successfully authenticating the user to the authentication server. The target computing device accesses content on the content server using the authentication token. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
