Patent number: 8848922Abstract: Secure information is managed for each host or machine in an electronic environment using a series of key identifiers that each represent one or more secure keys, passwords, or other secure information. Applications and services needing access to the secure information can specify the key identifier, for example, and the secure information currently associated with that identifier can be determined without any change to the code or manual input or exposure of the secure information on the respective device. Functionality such as encryption key management and rotation are inaccessible and transparent to the user. In a networked or distributed environment, the key identifiers can be associated with host classes such that at startup any host in a class can obtain the necessary secure information. Updates and key rotation can be performed in a similar fashion by pushing updates to host classes transparent to a user, application, or service.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Cyrus J. Durgin, Pratik S. Dave, Eric J. Martin

Patent number: 8499053Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for fine level access control over message content in an electronic messaging system. Access criteria associated with the message content define requirements that a user must satisfy in order to perform specified actions on message content. The user's complete profile is examined at run time and compared to access criteria to make a real time decision about the level of access that a user should have to message content. Depending on the access criteria associated with content, stronger authentication or weaker authentication of the user profile information may be performed on the user profile to determine the level of access that should be granted to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: IMDb.com, Inc.Inventors: Hilliard B. Siegel, Pratik S. Dave
