Patent number: 10917427Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for helping targeted users determine whether it is safe to supply personal information requested by a web site. In one embodiment, a method generally includes extracting textual content from a web page that requests information from a user and determining, based on the textual content, the type of information requested. A service type the web page provides is also determined based on the textual content. The service type and the information type are then compared to a set of predefined rules to determine a risk level associated with the web page. A visual indicator of the risk level is then displayed with the web page.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Susann M.

Patent number: 8024570Abstract: A method and apparatus for communication via a computer network (102) including registering a plurality of users (206, 222, 224) with a trusted body (110, 210). The trusted body (110, 210) verifies the identity of each user (206, 222, 224) and generates a random identifier (216) for each user (206, 222, 224). A plurality of users (206, 222, 224) can enter into a dialogue with the other users by means of messages sent over the computer network (102) via the trusted body (110, 210). A user (206, 222, 224) remains anonymous through use of its random identifier (216) until such time as the user (206, 222, 224) reveals its true identity. Due to the registration of the users (206, 222, 224) with the trusted body (110, 210) a means of non-repudiation of the dialogue by the users (206, 222, 224) is provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Gary P.
