Abstract: A system, method and apparatus providing for characterizing e-mails to aid in the identification of masqueraded emails and the classification of email content in a distributed and non-distributed environment. Mechanisms are provided to facilitate the sharing of email data and such other data such as SPAM and email content classification data as is required. Improved mechanisms are also provided to merge pluralities of lists of such data.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus providing the creation, management and usage of a non-distributed computational and storage Space environment in the field of networked devices, specifically computational and storage devices. Mechanisms are provided to facilitate the merging of Space environments across dissimilar and security protected networks such that the merged Space environments act as a logically and operationally contiguous environment. Also disclosed is a system and method to use Space environments in the field of Transaction Servers with particular attention being made to Application Servers such as can be found on the Internet.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus providing for the search, identification, retrieval and analysis of data contained in World Wide Web (WWW) and network pages and storage repositories. Mechanisms are provided to facilitate selection of such data as is required by a user, to report in a manner required by the user and to present the results in a plurality of ways. Also disclosed is a system, method to protect information retrieval from Information Servers such as those found on the world wide web (WWW). A method is described to analyze accesses to the information server for patterns indicating the type of system accessing the server. A method is described to format information such that it cannot be easily machine analyzed by such apparatus as lexical analysis and textual search methods. A method is described to include information into information server contents such that it would mislead and otherwise confuse non-human systems used to retrieve the data.
