  • Patent number: 11783016
    Abstract: An example computing platform is configured to detect a request on behalf of a given user, the request comprising a parameter of a given type; determine that the parameter requires a permission verification; apply to the request a verification status indicator that indicates whether or not a permission verification has been successfully performed for the given user with respect to the parameter; perform a permission verification for the given user with respect to the parameter; either (i) leave the verification status indicator set to a first value if the given user does not have permission to embed scripts into the given type of parameter, or (ii) update the verification status indicator from the first value to a second value if the given user has permission to embed scripts into the given type of parameter; and grant or deny the request based at least in part on the verification status indicator.

  • Patent number: 11562052
    Abstract: An example computing platform may be configured to (i) receive a request to access one or more resources on behalf of a given user, (ii) identify a parameter within the request that requires a permission verification, (iii) apply a verification tag to the parameter, wherein the verification tag is set to a first value indicating that a permission verification has not been successfully performed for the given user with respect to the parameter, (iv) perform a permission verification for the given user with respect to the parameter, (v) based on performing the permission verification, either (a) update the verification tag from the first value to a second value indicating that a permission verification has been successfully performed or (b) leave the verification tag set to the first value, and (vi) determine whether to grant or deny the request based at least in part on the verification tag for the parameter.

  • Publication number: 20060187897
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for reliable, wireless group alerting in a system having a database, switch, wireless network, and a plurality of intelligent mobile receivers, and preferably employing a modified two-way paging based on ReFLEX™ protocol information service (IS) messages and a novel ALOHA command for multicast acknowledgement from mobile receivers. An encrypted message is broadcast to a group address and received by a selected number of the mobile receivers. The network replies to the sender with detailed information about the individual members in the alert group. Each of the mobile receivers in the group then acknowledges the common message back to the system, decrypts the message, displays it to the user, and allows the user to respond. The system employs centralized management to simplify the roles of the mobile users and administrators, minimizing configuration and operational human errors that would otherwise result in confusion or lost messages.
