Publication number: 20130340028Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that allow for secure access to websites and web-based applications and other resources available through the browser. Also described are systems and methods for invocation of a secure web container which may display data representative of a requesting party's application at a user's machine. The secure web container is invoked upon receipt of an API call from the requesting party. Thus, described in the present specification are systems and methods for constructing and destroying private, secure, browsing environments (a secure disposable web container), insulating the user and requesting parties from the threats associated with being online for the purposes of providing secure, policy-based interaction with a requesting party's online services.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: AUTHENTIC8, INC.Inventors: Ramesh Rajagopal, Scott M. Petry, James K. Tosh, JR., Peter K. Lund, Fredric L. Cox, Adam P. Moore

Patent number: 8595814Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing transport layer encryption with an intermediate electronic message managing service interposed in a message path of an electronic message to be sent from a sending server to an intended receiving server across a computer network. To implement TLS in such a managed e-mail services context, given that a managed e-mail service is inserted into the message delivery path, the transport layer security protocols are simultaneously established along both the link from the sending server to the managed e-mail service and from the receiving server to the managed e-mail service, with the managed e-mail service providing a “proxy” connection for communication between the sending server and the receiving server.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2005Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Binh Le, Erik Chen, Michael J. Oswall, Adam Dawes, Joseph Green, Kenneth K. Okumura, Scott M. Petry, Lisa Lund

Patent number: 8583740Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and the like for the management of filtered messages and filtering settings. Embodiments use the interaction of a user and a notification message to execute commands/requests. In one aspect, a notification message is used to notify a computer user of filtered incoming electronic messages that are stored in a quarantine server and database. In one embodiment, the notification message comprises message data having information regarding incoming messages blocked from reaching the destination server and stored in the quarantine server and database. Also in this embodiment, the message includes user interface data selectable by the user to manage the handling of incoming messages. In addition, the message includes action logic associated with the user interface data and configured to execute the selections made by the user by sending commands from the user's computer to the quarantine server and database via a computer network.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Oswall, Dorion A. Carroll, Lisa M. Hoggatt, Scott M. Petry, Fredric L. Cox, Peter K. Lund, Michael D. Beeson

Patent number: 8583787Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting unwanted electronic message transmissions on a communications network. These include establishing a database for storing metadata associated with message traffic according to at least the source addresses of the senders of electronic message transmissions. The disclosed principles also include monitoring electronic message transmissions at the certain location on the electronic communications network. Also, included is populating the database with metadata derived from analysis of the monitored electronic messages, where the metadata includes metadata derived by analyzing the contents of the monitored electronic messages.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott M.

Patent number: 8346880Abstract: Disclosed herein are filtering systems and methods that employ an electronic message source reputation system. The source reputation system maintains a pool of source Internet Protocol (IP) address information, in the form of a Real-Time Threat Identification Network (“RTIN”) database, which can provide the reputation of source IP addresses, which can be used by customers for filtering network traffic. The source reputation system provides for multiple avenues of access to the source reputation information. Examples of such avenues can include Domain Name Server (DNS)-type queries, servicing routers with router-table data, or other avenues.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Peter K. Lund, Scott M. Petry, Craig S. Croteau, Kenneth K. Okumura, Dorion A. Carroll

Patent number: 8321432Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for use in filtering electronic messages using business heuristics. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether the electronic message is associated with a desirable business, and adjusting the likelihood of delivering the electronic message to an intended recipient of the message if the electronic message is determined to be associated with the desirable business. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes assigning a spam-score to the electronic message based on a likelihood that the electronic message is not unwanted by the intended recipient, blocking delivery of the electronic message to the intended recipient when the spam-score does not cross an overall threshold, and delivering the electronic message to the intended recipient based on the adjusted likelihood when the electronic message is determined to be associated with the desirable business.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2009Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Peter K. Lung, Scott M. Petry, Jason H. Titus

Patent number: 7958187Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2006Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott M.

Patent number: 7761498Abstract: According to the described embodiments, an intermediate electronic messaging service is inserted into a message delivery path connecting to an e-mail entity such as an ISP. A database is provided in the intermediate service, the database having user profiles associated with the users of the ISP or other e-mail entity. The intermediate service receives email message over the electronic message delivery path into which it has been inserted, where the e-mail messages comprise at least content and IP routing information. Within the intermediate service, at least one of the content and the IP routing information of the received e-mail message is examined, and the e-mail message is then delivered to a destination based on the examination and in accordance with a user profile in the database in the intermediate service.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott M.
