Patent number: 12021828Abstract: Methods and systems provide for improved security for domain name resolution (DNS) and browsing. User privacy may be improved for client devices by first transmitting authentication information and the domain name to a server. After determining that the requesting security component on the client device is authorized to access a domain resolution service, the domain name is resolved to obtain an internet protocol (IP) address. Classification data is then retrieved from a third-party service for the domain name and/or the IP address. This classification data may then be evaluated against a first policy associated with the client device. When the evaluation indicates the client device is not allowed to access the IP address, the client device is sent information indicating that access is not permitted. When access is permitted, the client device may be sent the IP address and the classification data used for the evaluation.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2023Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: LOOKOUT, INC.Inventors: Brian James Buck, Stephen Lind, Brian Sullivan

Patent number: 11792158Abstract: A service monitors password and username use while maintaining username and password privacy by receiving a hash of a username, a hash of a password, and a host name and comparing the received hashes against a database of associated host names and hashes of usernames and passwords. When the comparison determines that the hash of the new password meets certain conditions, e.g., no hash in the database matches the hash of the new password, then the new password may be allowed and the service informs the security component accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2023Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Lookout, Inc.Inventors: Brian James Buck, Stephen Lind, Brian Sullivan

Patent number: 11570144Abstract: Methods and systems provide for receiving an assessment of a full uniform resource locator (URL) in a browser session in advance of the browser accessing the URL, maintaining client privacy in the process using a proxy between the client device and an assessment component on a server. The proxy receives the client identity and a URL. After substituting an arbitrary query identifier for the client identity in the assessment request, the proxy forwards the anonymized assessment request to the assessment component. In return the proxy receives classification data regarding the URL associated with the arbitrary query identifier, which the proxy associates with the client identity and subsequently forwards the classification data to the client.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Lookout, Inc.Inventors: Brian James Buck, Stephen Lind, Brian Sullivan

Patent number: 11277373Abstract: Methods and systems provide for resolving domain names by employing a proxy server between the client device and the resolving server. The methods and systems may maintain user privacy by the proxy receiving the client identity and an encrypted domain name. After substituting an arbitrary query identifier for the client identity in the resolution request, the proxy forwards the anonymized resolution request to the resolving server. In return the proxy receives an encrypted internet protocol (IP) address with the arbitrary query identifier, which the proxy associates with the client identity and forwards the encrypted IP address to the client for decrypting. Methods and systems provide for receiving an assessment of a full uniform resource locator (URL) in a browser session in advance of the browser accessing the URL. Methods and systems further prevent the re-use of passwords.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: LOOKOUT, INC.Inventors: Brian James Buck, Stephen Lind, Brian Sullivan

Patent number: 8432118Abstract: An inverter comprises output switches for generating motor phase currents for application to an electrical motor based on a commanded torque. A current sensor is arranged for detecting motor phase currents applied to the electrical motor by an inverter. A voltage sensor is configured for measuring voltages applied to the electrical motor by the inverter. An output port is capable of outputting output signals of the detected motor phase currents and measured voltages for processing by a vehicle controller. The output signals are suitable for input to a vehicle controller for determining whether or not to generate an override control signal. An input port is configured for receiving the override control signal from the vehicle controller. The input port is coupled to an override input module for switching off a supply of electrical energy to the electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Stephen Lind, Michael R. Schlichtmann, Orrin B. West, Kent D. Wanner
