Patent number: 7836148Abstract: In the present invention, HTML elements are mapped to objects in an object-oriented environment. Classes of objects are defined for each HTML element as well as the HTML document (or page). By providing a one-to-one mapping between each HTML element and object classes, HTML documents can be manipulated programmatically. The properties of each element are stored in instance variables of the associated object. Each object class can include methods to manipulate the HTML element within an HTML document.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Inventors: Nicolas Popp, Bruce Ong

Patent number: 7698286Abstract: The object-oriented approach used by the present invention provides the ability to develop and manage Internet transactions. Local applications can be accessed using any workstation connected to the Internet regardless of the workstation's configuration. Some or all of a Web page can be generated dynamically using input received in a returned page, generated at runtime, or retrieved from an external data source (e.g., database or electronic mail system). When the Web page definition is rendered, the information contained in template(s), declaration file(s), and object(s) are used to generate standard definitions. State information is maintained across transactions. Using state information, virtual applications, sessions, transactions, and pages can be implemented. Self-contained modules, or components, provide the ability to share implementations and create multi-content documents. Event objects can be used to assist in event handling management.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Next Software, Inc.Inventors: Nicolas Popp, Bruce Ong, Charles D'Harcourt

Publication number: 20100037046Abstract: A centralized credential management system. Website credentials are stored at a vault storing at a vault. The website credentials are encrypted based upon a key not available to the vault and are for authenticating a user to a third party website. Through a client, a user authenticates to the vault and retrieves the encrypted website credentials and parameters and code for properly injecting the credentials into a website authentication form. The website credentials are decrypted at the client and injected into the authentication form using the parameters and code.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2008Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: VeriSign, Inc.Inventors: Barry Ferg, Gary Krall, David M'Raihi, Nicolas Popp

Publication number: 20090313687Abstract: A token calculates a one time password by generating a HMAC-SHA-1 value based upon a key K and a counter value C, truncating the generated HMAC-SHA-1 value modulo 10?Digit, where Digit is the number of digits in the one time password. The one time password can be validated by a validation server that calculates its own version of the password using K and its own counter value C?. If there is an initial mismatch, the validation server compensate for a lack of synchronization between counters C and C? within a look-ahead window, whose size can be set by a parameter s.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2005Publication date: December 17, 2009Inventors: Nicolas Popp, David M'Raihi, Loren Hart

Publication number: 20090274303Abstract: A method for provisioning a device such as a token. The device issues a certificate request to a Certification Authority. The request includes a public cryptographic key uniquely associated with the device. The Certification Authority generates a symmetric cryptographic key for the device, encrypts it using the public key, and creates a digital certificate that contains the encrypted symmetric key as an attribute. The Certification Authority sends the digital certificate to the device, which decrypts the symmetric key using the device's private key, and stores the decrypted symmetric key.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2009Publication date: November 5, 2009Inventor: Nicolas Popp

Publication number: 20090177711Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for integrating applets running on a client with the application logic for applications running on a server. The mechanism of the present invention provides two significant advantages over the prior art: the synchronization of state, and the recognition of user actions in the browser including the invocation of the appropriate application logic in the server. Instead of using the FORM element available in HTML, individual active applets are available and may be created that obtain user input (e.g. a checkbox, textbox, button, etc.). A hidden applet called the Applet Group Controller is created which handles communication between the applets on the browser and the application logic on the server. The Applet Group Controller maintains an association with each applet that maintains the keys and values of any parameters and variables for the applet.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2009Publication date: July 9, 2009Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Michael Ferris, Nicolas Popp, Scott Forstall, Charles D'Harcourt

Publication number: 20080109657Abstract: A web site can be authenticated by a third party authentication service. A user designates an authentication device that is a shared secret between the user and the authentication service. A web site page includes a URL that points to the authentication service. The URL includes a digital signature by the web site. When the user receives the page, the user's browser issues a request to the authentication service, which attempts to authenticate the digital signature. If the authentication is successful, it sends the authentication device to the user computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2006Publication date: May 8, 2008Inventors: Siddharth Bajaj, Roxana Alina Bradescu, Jeffrey Burstein, M'Raihi David, Nicolas Popp

Publication number: 20070220595Abstract: A system and method for providing identity protection services. According to an embodiment, a validation server receives over a network a response from a credential associated with a user, the credential response provided by the user in order to authenticate the user to one of a plurality of sites on the network that accepts the credential as a factor for authentication, the validation server verifies the credential response on behalf of the one network site, a fraud detection server receives over the network information in connection with a transaction associated with the user at the one network site, and the fraud detection server evaluates the transaction information for suspicious activity based at least in part on information provided to the fraud detection server in connection with one or more transactions at one or more sites on the network other than the one network site.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2007Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: David M'raihi, Joseph Adler, Siddharth Bajaj, Nicolas Popp, Kerry Loftus, Bruce Ong, Alin Mutu, Jeffrey Burstein, Yueqin Lin

Publication number: 20070050635Abstract: A method for calculating a One Time Password. A secret is concatenated with a count, where the secret is uniquely assigned to a token. The secret can be a private key or a shared secret symmetric key. The count is a number that increases monotonically at the token with the number of one-time Passwords generated at the token. The count is also tracked at an authentication server, where it increases monotonically with each calculation of a one-time Password at the authentication server. An OTP can be calculated by hashing a concatenated secret and count. The result can be truncated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventor: Nicolas Popp
