Patent number: 12169576Abstract: An authentication system for authenticating a user to access gated digital content includes a user computing device, a service provider server, an authentication service, and at least one identity provider. The service provider server is configured to require registration and authentication prior to providing the user with access to the gated digital content, and the at least one identity provider is configured to authenticate a user identity of the user. Upon receiving a request via the user computing device to access the gated digital content hosted by the service provider server, the authentication service displays an authentication platform interface to the user. The authentication platform interface displays at least one identity provider selector linked to the at least one identity provider, and the at least one identity provider is based on a policy of the authentication service set by the service provider.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: BREAD & BUTTER IO INC.Inventors: Thierry LeVasseur, Esteban Astudillo, Matt McLean

Patent number: 9948585Abstract: A message processing device with a split-architecture is described that allows for flexible control over data flow while enabling optimal processing based on available system resources. In one particular example, messages are processed in two stages prior to transmission to a destination. A cursory evaluation of each message determines whether a deeper level of processing is to be performed using additional resources. Then, messages capable of transmission with no perceivable delay may be transmitted directly, whereas messages to be processed using greater resources are directed to a workflow pipeline engine for more expensive processing at a later stage. The result is a low latency system allowing for efficient resource management, whose architecture is scalable and readily extendible, for example, to increase resources available during periods of high data flow.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Cirius Messaging Inc.Inventors: Thierry LeVasseur, Philippe Richard

Patent number: 9754217Abstract: A data leak protection system and methods thereof are described that identify and analyze a digital fingerprint for a data package, the digital fingerprint characterizing the data package based on a corpus of data within the data package. In one embodiment, an asset descriptor is configured to identify one or more assets within the corpus of data while a contextual analyzer frames the one or more assets into the prevailing contextual environment. Then, a domain identifier further identifies a data perimeter based on the assets identified for the prevailing contextual environment. A comparison of the digital fingerprint to a collection of domain specific identifiers allows further actions responsive to a digital fingerprint falling outside of the data perimeter for an identified contextual environment. In one example, a data leak triggers quarantining of the data package for further manual processing.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Cirius Messaging Inc.Inventors: Thierry LeVasseur, Philippe Richard
