Patent number: 10078836Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for authorizing third-party access to a specific service from a service provider. In an example embodiment, a server system identifies a shared service from multiple services provided by the server system. The shared service is specified by an authorizing entity. The server system provides a credential associated with the shared service and the authorizing entity. The server system receives a request to access the shared service from a requesting entity that is separate from the authorizing entity. The server system verifies that the request includes the credential and that the credential is associated with the shared service and the authorizing entity. The server system provides access to the shared service to the requesting entity based on verifying that the request includes the credential. The requesting entity is restricted to accessing the shared service identified by the credential as authorized by the authorizing entity.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Isak Tenenboym, Marc Thomas Kaufman

Patent number: 9842201Abstract: An electronic document signature system preserves the security of an electronic document while tracking a signature process corresponding to the electronic document. In particular, using a client application on a client device, an originating user can protect an electronic document and send the protected electronic document to a tracking server. The tracking server receives only a protected document such that the security the electronic document is preserved. Using a client applications on client devices, one or more participating users can subsequently receive the protected document from the tracking server, access the contents of the electronic document, and sign the electronic document. The tracking server can record events that occur with respect to the protected document to create an event log.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATEDInventors: Benjamin David Follis, Marc Thomas Kaufman
