  • Publication number: 20160232530
    Abstract: A system and method for data recipient invoked electronic commerce allowing data subjects to provide information over a network and data recipients to receive such information relating to the needs of a data subject such as purchases, distribution of application information and the like. The system includes a server having software which gathers the information from a data subject to complete a transaction over a network. The system has a data subject data structure that stores information for registered data subjects. The software is able to access the data subject data structure and enter the data subject's information during subsequent transactions. Having the software obtain and enter the data subject's purchasing information, the data subject does not have to enter the same information every time the data subject desires to effect a transaction over the network. In alternate embodiments, the same technology can be applied to other arenas where a user may have to enter the same repetitive information.

  • Patent number: 4799153
    Abstract: Security of communications in a packet-switched data communications system is enhanced by introducing terminal and host security devices into the system in communicative relationship with a terminal and a host processor, respectively. In response to a user-initiated data entry at the terminal, the terminal security device generates an initial data packet indicative of user authorization or not, but which is unsuited for processing by the addressed processor, ahead of additional data packets containing user-entered message data to be processed by the addressed processor. The host security device intercepts and processes the initial data packet and, if user authorization is indicated therein, replaces it with an artificial data packet solely to render the additional packets amenable to processing by the addressed processor and thereby to establish a communications session between user terminal and processor-associated database to which access was requested.
