Publication number: 20250063068Abstract: An application-operating organization may delegate a third-party server to serve as an automated contextual authentication responder and an authorization responder. The third-party server may manage a delegated section of the organization's namespace that includes the public identities of various devices controlled by the organization. The third-party server may also dynamically generate interaction control list that is tailored to a requesting device's context based on the interaction control policies set forth by the organization. The interaction control list may include information that determines the authorization of the requesting device to interact with another device. The third-party server may also automatically determine the role of a new device to which existing policies are inapplicable and provide guided workflow for the organization to set up new interaction control policies in governing the new device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Ashley Duane Wilson, Seth Joshua Blank, Peter Martin Goldstein, Jack William Abbott, Robert Benjamin Barclay

Patent number: 12143397Abstract: A third-party server may maintain a list of named entity devices that belong to one or more roles in an application environment. The server may receive an authorization query from a policy consuming device. The authorization query may include an identity of a particular named entity device which sent a message to the policy consuming device and contextual metadata associated with the message. The server may determine that the particular named entity device belongs to one of the roles and filter the list based on the contextual metadata. The server may generate an interaction control list that includes the filtered list and transmit the interaction control list to the policy consuming device as a response to the authorization query. The interaction control list causes the policy consuming device to react to the message based on the interaction control list.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2023Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: ValiMail Inc.Inventors: Ashley Duane Wilson, Seth Joshua Blank, Peter Martin Goldstein

Patent number: 12137087Abstract: A third-party server, delegated by organizations to manage application environment, may maintain a plurality of guided workflow plans. At least one of the guided workflow plans may include one or more steps associated with setting up an interaction control policy. The third-party server may receive an interaction report associated with the organization. The interaction report may include metadata of one or more devices that interacted with other devices. The third-party server may identify a particular device to which existing interaction control policies of the organization are inapplicable. The third-party server may search for additional out-of-band information of the particular device using the metadata in the interaction report. The third-party server may select an applicable guided workflow plan for setting up an applicable interaction control policy for the particular device. A guided workflow may be presented via a graphical user interface according to the applicable guided workflow plan.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: ValiMail Inc.Inventors: Seth Joshua Blank, Ashley Duane Wilson, Peter Martin Goldstein, Jack William Abbott, Robert Benjamin Barclay

Publication number: 20240348574Abstract: A computing server may receive an authorization from a domain owner to gain access to email data of the domain owner. The email data may be hosted by a mailbox service provider on behalf of the domain owner. The computing server may determine email protocol check results of the email data retrieved from the mailbox service provider. The computing server may determine that a sender has a number of failed emails in the email data that fail the email protocol check. The computing server may identify, from the email data, one or more recipients of the domain owner to whom the failed emails intend to be sent. The computing server may notify the domain owner regarding information about the one or more recipients.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventor: Seth Joshua Blank
