Abstract: A system and method for managing a digital certificate associated with a remote device is provided. The method includes providing a Web Service Application Programming Interface (API) and communicating digitally between the Web Service API and a remote device, including one of requesting the remote device to perform a task associated with managing digital certificates, and responding to a request from the remote device for performing a task associated with managing digital certificates.

Abstract: Improved network authentication process (NAP) allows omission of difficult-to-remember credentials, such as domain names/contexts, when users log on to a device via a local user interface (UI). Embodiments receive some authentication credentials, such as username and password, and obtain and parse reply data containing additional authentication credentials, such as domain name or context associated with the user, from a network directory server. The process sends now-complete authentication credentials to the authentication server, and authentication results are returned to the authentication service, which trickles the information to the local UI used to enter credentials.

Abstract: An optical character reading machine includes at least one processor and a bill payment system. The bill payment system includes a bill scanning and bill information parsing module for: scanning a bill to obtain bill paying information; parsing the bill paying information; and verifying the bill paying information, and a bill payment module effecting a payment to a payee identified from the bill paying information. Verification is for completeness and accuracy. If the bill paying information is not complete or accurate, the user is prompted to make corrections. Either a pre-established payment method or an alternative payment method may be used to effect payment of the bill. The bill may include first and second data encoded marking codes encoding fixed and variable billing information for the bill scanning and parsing module to read and decode for effecting payment of the bill.
