  • Patent number: 11418486
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling internet browsing user security is provided. A control device (120) receives, via a first communication channel, a web page request from a control agent (102) implemented in a browser (101), the browser (101) being installed in a computer device operated by a user. Then, the control device (120) requests, to a control service (130), via a second communication channel, a security level of said requested web page including a status of the user and the presence of risks in the requested web page. The control service (130) executes a security check on said requested web page by checking whether the requested web page is included in a blacklist or a whitelist and also by checking certain risk control criteria of the requested web page. Finally, in response to receipt a result of said security check, the control device (120) allows or denies access to said web page.

  • Patent number: 11317277
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a method, device and system for protecting the connection to a wireless network (a WiFi network) by users of electronic communications devices, even the first time the user device connects to the network. The proposed method, device and system provides an improved security when connecting to a WiFi network, avoiding attacks that may jeopardize the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of WiFi users and WiFi infrastructure. In the proposed solution, the network will be certified by the user device before connecting to an access point for accessing the wireless network.

  • Patent number: 10334065
    Abstract: A method for detecting applications of mobile user terminals, comprising: parsing files of an app to obtain domains of requests and splitting every domain into words to generate an app signature, weighting the words to obtain their frequency, splitting the mobile traffic into traffic blocks and each traffic block into words, generating a traffic vector for each block by including the repetition or frequency of each word in the block, comparing the generated traffic vectors with the generated signature by applying a similarity method to obtain the number of times that the signature is detected in the traffic vectors of a mobile terminal, estimating a probability of a user having the app installed in the mobile terminal, applying a threshold on the probability to discard wrongly detected applications.

  • Patent number: 10063543
    Abstract: The computer implemented method comprising: receiving a first server a request in the name of a user to be logged into a service of said first server and authenticating said request by verifying user identification information of said user, wherein a second server in connection with a user computing device with a dedicated program is used for: receiving a request about a status associated to said user; initializing a credential exchange in order to provide mutual authentication; verifying said associated status that has been previously set as valid or as invalid by said user; and sending said associated status to said first server wherein the latter allows the logging of said request or rejects it if said associated status is set as valid or as invalid.

  • Patent number: 9634841
    Abstract: A computer implemented method including a software distributor signing via a first server at least one software file using a digital certificate with a digital signature and at least one user via a computing device acquiring a copy of the signed software file. The digital certificate to be used is previously recorded in a second server in communication with the first server, the digital certificate to be recorded being provided by the software distributor upon a registration of the latter in the second server and including information obtained from a trust certificate chain associated to the digital certificate when performing the registration. The second server generates, upon a request made by the software distributor, a hashstamp of the signed software file.
