Abstract: A layered defense-in-depth knowledge-based data management comprises a reception zone for authenticating a user for access to the system and an operations zone for adjudicating on a user level access to data objects stored in the system database. In addition, the data management comprises a security zone for issuing certificates of accessibility for defined users and a screening zone to interrogate data packets during processing thereof. The first line of defense is firewall protection and packet filtering preceding the reception zone.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating symbol messages, and particularly symbol messages using symbols for which efforts have been, are being, or will be made to increase their visibility and familiarity. Such symbols may include trademarks, registered trademarks, service marks, registered service marks, and other well-known symbols. Among other things, the present invention provides a method for generating a symbol or logo alphabet (or Logobet™) and a corresponding lexicon or grammar in which each letter corresponds to a recognized proprietary symbol likely to be associated with the respective letter. The present invention also provides apparatuses for generating such symbol messages and displays incorporating such symbol messages, particularly apparatuses and corresponding methods for playing games (e.g., crossword puzzle-type game such as LogoBabble™) based on the creation of symbol messages.

The present invention also provides apparatuses for generating such symbol messages and displays incorporating such symbol messages, particularly apparatuses and corresponding methods for playing card games based on the creation of symbol messages (e.g., a deck of cards such as LoGoFish™, in which proprietary symbols are depicted on the cards instead of numbers or suits).
