  • Patent number: 9961071
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a virtual private network (VPN) connection is established between a client device and an authentication service. Then a request is received from a third-party application on the client device, with the request being for a third-party service. A log-in page is requested from the third-party service, with the log-in page including one or more log-in fields usable to enter credential information. The log-in page is then modified to hide the one or more log-in fields. Credentials corresponding to a user of the client device and also corresponding to the third-party service are then obtained. The modified log-in page is sent to the client device via the VPN connection. A log-in submission is received from the third-party application. The credentials corresponding to the user and to the third-party service are sent to the third-party service to log-in the user to the third-party service.

  • Patent number: 9460292
    Abstract: The present application relates to a computer having a processor configured to execute a set of instructions to render a customised version of a restricted document object model. A restricted element in a document object model is identified and at least one rule associated with the restricted element is accessed. The at least one rule is applied to the restricted element to generate a modified document object model which is then rendered. A related computer-implemented method is also covered by the present application. The present application relates to server-side authentication techniques; content filtering based on user-specific and context-based requirements; and audit trail techniques.
