Patent number: 10289655Abstract: Active content is deterministically rendered in a stable format that is independent of any particular targeted environment, which the active content may subsequently be rendered to. Environmental and dynamic dependencies are removed from a specification associated with the active content for purposes of producing a stable and consistent specification for the active content. The stable and static specification is used to subsequently render the active content into the stable format for any targeted or desired environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: James D. Pravetz, Richard Cohn, William Ie

Patent number: 9705917Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for document authentication. An electronic document is presented to a user. The electronic document has data representing a signed state and a current state. A disallowed difference between the signed state and the current state is detected, based on one or more rules that are associated with the electronic document. A digital signature associated with the electronic document is invalidated in response to the detecting.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2016Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: James D.

Patent number: 9397988Abstract: A security component may be associated with a network-enabled application. The security component may access a secure store, which may include customization information, which may include one or more graphical user interface customizations defined by a user, and one or more instances of card information. The card information may specify how to authenticate a user's credentials to access a relying party (e.g., web site). The security component may initiate the display of an embedded region of a window drawn by the network-enabled application. At least a part of the appearance of the embedded region of the window may be defined according to the customization information and not by the relying party. The embedded region may provide a user interface for determining user authentication credentials. The customization information and the one or more instances of card information may not be accessible to the relying party.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2013Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: James D.

Patent number: 8666904Abstract: A security component may be associated with a network-enabled application. The security component may initiate the display of an embedded region of a window drawn according to display information received from a relying party. The security component may define at least a portion of the appearance of the embedded region; the relying party may not define this portion. The embedded region may include customization information configured by a user, and “Card” information received from an assertion provider, indicating how to authenticate user credentials in order to gain access to relying party restricted content. The security component may request authentication of user credentials from the assertion provider, which may be trusted by the relying party. The security component may receive an assertion token from the assertion provider indicating the credentials are authentic. The security component may forward the assertion token to the relying party to gain access to the restricted content.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: James D.

Patent number: 8660960Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for digital rights management. A set of content items is defined in an electronic document based on a set of rules. The rules in the set of rules are associated with one or more operations that can be performed on content items in the electronic document. The set of content items include only content items that are invariant to the operations associated with the rules in the set of rules. A representation of the content items in the set of content items is generated. An electronic document is also described.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Krish Chaudhury, James D. Pravetz

Patent number: 8555078Abstract: A security component may be associated with a network-enabled application. The network-enabled application may request access to restricted content from a relying party (e.g., web site). The security component associated with the network-enabled application may receive authentication policy information from the relying party and send a user's authentication credentials to an assertion provider to authenticate the credentials. The relying party may trust the assertion provider to authenticate user credentials. Upon successful authentication, the assertion provider may return an assertion token to the security component and the security component may sign the assertion token as specified in the authentication policy information. Subsequently, the security token may forward the signed assertion token to the relying party and the relying party may grant access to the restricted content.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2008Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: James D.
