Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable a message recipient or messaging system to indicate the trustworthiness of a message, especially messages that comprise content that has been digitally signed. In addition, embodiments may alter or control the message to change user behavior by preventing the user from doing things that the message would induce the user into doing. In some embodiments, various characteristics and indicia of the message are determined. For example, for e-mail messages having digitally signed content, certain embodiments may determine the entity or entities asserting a basis for trust, the status or role of the sender, the name of the sender, the affiliation of the sender, the messaging address the location, and the most recent status of the trust relationship. Based on the determined indicia, a plain language notification is composed and the message is displayed with the notification.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable allocating and indicating the trustworthiness of a message, especially messages that comprise content that has been digitally signed. In some embodiments, a provider of assurance services and assurance software provides trust attestations related to messages and may manipulate the user interface used to view these messages. The trust attestations may be computed by various methods. The trust attestations may then be presented when the message is displayed to the user using the assurance software. For example, the trust attestations may be displayed as user interface elements in a designated portion of the chrome of a messaging service, such as a webmail service. In one embodiment, the assurance software can run on the webmail service and the trust attestations in the chrome are served up via techniques for delivery of client-server presentation data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable a user to engage in secure communications using digital certificates and other cryptographic technologies in an easy way with a minimum of distracting interaction. In some embodiments of the present invention, webmail is enabled to allow users to obtain and use S/MIME certificates to secure his or her e-mails. Embodiments of the present invention can also be implemented to other forms of messaging, such as text messages, instant messages, etc.

Abstract: A system and method for rapid subtitling and for alignment of various types of data sequences is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an input module adapted to receive parameter values from a user, a computer readable memory adapted to store the parameters in a manner so that the stored parameters relate at least one event to at least one data sequence, and an analysis module adapted to extract at least one feature from the data sequence and to adjust the parameters based on the at least one feature extracted from the data sequence. In an alternate embodiment, the system treats user-supplied times as a priori data and adjusts those times using extracted features from concurrent and previously-analyzed data streams.
