Patent number: 11665177Abstract: An enhanced email service that mitigates drawbacks of conventional email services by enabling transmission of encrypted content to a recipient regardless of the recipient having a prior relationship with the sender or having credentials issued from a certificate authority. A method is provided for receiving encrypted content and generating a message includes both the encrypted content as an attachment and a link to enable access to the encrypted content. The method may include transmitting the message to an intended recipient's mailbox while also storing the message in another mailbox to provide for subsequent decryption of the encrypted content. The link may provide the intended recipient of the message with access to the encrypted content in various ways depending on, for example, whether the recipient is viewing the message through a webmail browser or through a local mail client that is compatible with the enhanced email service.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Krishna Kumar Parthasarathy, George E. Roussos, Hao Zhang, Christopher S. Dickens, Salil Kapoor, Vinh Trinh

Patent number: 11425141Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein enable a system to reduce user authentication requirements during a user's travels by analyzing transportation data and/or event data sent to the user via a communication service, e.g. email. The system may analyze the data in order to determine where the user will be at some future time and, ultimately, to then validate access requests against such determinations to mitigate the need for heightened user authentication requirements while the user is traveling. For instance, the system may identify an airline reservation sent to the user and enable the user to confirm that she has corresponding travel plans. Once she confirms her travel plans, the system may refrain from increasing authentication requirements from Single-Factor Authentication (SFA) to Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) input requirements for access requests that match the confirmed travel plans.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: George E.

Patent number: 11044259Abstract: An enhanced email service that mitigates drawbacks of conventional email services by enabling transmission of encrypted content to a recipient regardless of the recipient having a prior relationship with the sender or having credentials issued from a certificate authority. A method is provided for receiving encrypted content and generating a message includes both the encrypted content as an attachment and a link to enable decrypted access to the decrypted content. The method may include transmitting the message to an intended recipient's mailbox while also storing the message in an organizational mailbox to provide for subsequent decryption of the encrypted content. The link may provide the intended recipient of the message with decrypted access to the encrypted content in various ways depending on, for example, whether the recipient is viewing the message through a webmail browser or through a local mail client that is compatible with the enhanced email service.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Krishna Kumar Parthasarathy, George E.

Publication number: 20120144390Abstract: A computer-implemented technique significantly reduces the time required to configure software images deployed from a golden reference machine to destination machines. Time is saved by applying a priori knowledge of the configuration of the intended destination machines and omitting normally run configuration steps known to be non-essential or irrelevant to the destination machines. This technique is particularly advantageous when the destination machines are virtual machines, as time-consuming commands for configuring hardware on the destination machines can be avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Aaron Farmer, Angad Kamat, George E.
