  • Patent number: 11438334
    Abstract: The disclosed system and method enhances security of people, organizations, and other entities that use what has been termed “social media.” Recent trends have shown that information posted to social media may cause tremendous damage to individuals and other entities. This includes information that was posted deliberately or unintentionally, including social security numbers, financial data and other sensitive information. Further, information that previously may have been viewed as innocuous, such as location data, has caused harm on certain occasions and may need to be protected. The disclosed system provides a novel method of screening, identifying, and preventing certain information from being posted on social media and other public locations. In addition, the disclosed system and method improves security by motivating people to use security software by offering rewards for its use.

  • Publication number: 20090235346
    Abstract: A system and method for augmented user and site authentication from mobile devices is disclosed herein. The system and method provides for the performing of strong authentication of users, whether human or otherwise, as well as of site authentication, which is optimized for use when such users access a system from a mobile device using a web browser or mini-web browser. In doing so the claimed invention utilizes multiple different heuristic algorithms and/or scoring values for device identification based on the type of mobile device, and may further identify the specific type of device attempting such access.

  • Publication number: 20090222459
    Abstract: The invention involves a method, system, apparatus, and computer code to consolidate one or more pieces of information onto an electronic device for later conveyance via wireless transmission, display in human readable form, and/or display in computer readable form. The invention improves convenience for people who today carry multiple credit cards, membership cards, tickets, coupons, and other items which can all be represented electronically on a single device. Information from multiple sources can be stored on—or accessible to—a single device and later conveyed individually or in groups in a fashion that both humans and other electronic systems can read such information. One instance of the invention, for example, would improve human convenience by allowing people to carry membership, identification, boarding passes, admission tickets, coupon, and other information electronically within their mobile phones rather than having to carry identification cards.
