  • Patent number: 11341240
    Abstract: A system for reducing the effects of unwanted software (“malware”) is described having a user computing device which runs on a user operating system (UOS) and a user web browser coupled by a limited communication link to a host computing device including VM executable code for emulating a virtual machine, a virtual OS which runs on the virtual machine and a web browser adapted to run on the virtual OS. The limited communication link connected between the user computing device and the host computing device is adapted to pass certain user input communications (signals from the input devices) from the user computing device to the host computing device; and pass certain output communications (signals to output devices) from the host computing device to the user computing device thereby restricting malware from being introduced to the user computing device.

  • Patent number: 10042858
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and system for synchronizing multiple classes with disparate schemas in a single collection through the use of the same synchronization request and/or synchronization key. A collection of different types of items may be synchronized while using the unique schema for each class. Further, different synchronization options, e.g., filtering, truncation, and body settings, may be applied to each class. In a synchronization request, an option block within a synchronization command notifies the server to synchronize the class specified in the option block. The option block may also specify the options, or settings, if any, to apply to the class. Multiple option blocks may be included in the synchronization command to specify the synchronization of multiple classes. Where multiple classes are specified, the server responds with the synchronized items of all such classes while maintaining each class's unique schema.

  • Publication number: 20070101159
    Abstract: A protocol for total email and collaborative software (e.g., Exchange-brand server) session security. By way of example, securing the traffic between two servers within the same organization or cross organizations is critical to maintaining privacy of electronic data and communications. For example, securing communications between two Exchange-brand servers is particularly useful for individuals and organizations that routinely send and receive confidential information via electronic mail. It is important for the receiving side (server) to authorize the sending side (client) to send the information; the sending side should authorize the receiving side to receive information to prevent unauthorized information disclosure. The novel system and/or protocol disclosed herein can provide a mutually authenticated, authorized, and encrypted channel between two servers both within the same organization and across disparate organizations.
