Patent number: 11956247Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for providing secure access control to an electronic network or device. By limiting the ability of a single administrator to act unilaterally without the agreement and/or notification of further system administrators, the data integrity and security of stored data, such as email accounts, may be enhanced and risk of compromise ameliorated. By permitting multiple administrators acting in a concert of action to access stored data, such as without notification of the email account holder, potential misconduct by email account holders may be audited.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BAIMMT, LLCInventors: Roy Edwin Gingher, Richard Snowden Thompson, Thomas Drennan Selgas

Patent number: 10135878Abstract: Described herein is a method for accessing a digital network. For example, the method may include receiving a message from a network access device at a first Internet service provider, and sending at least a portion of the received message through a network to an access service provider. The method may also include receiving the portion of the message at the access service provider, and sending network access data, based at least partially in response to receiving the portion of the message at the access service provider, to the network access device. The network access data may include log-in information and an identified Internet service provider. A communication may be received at the identified Internet service provider that originated from the network access device based at least partially on the network access data obtained from said access service provider. A temporarily assigned network address may be assigned to the network access device.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: MYMAIL, LTD.Inventors: Thomas Drennan Selgas, Michael Brian Massing, John Everett Gmuender

Patent number: 8737624Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for securing a digital data stream. A first key of a first asymmetric key pair from a key store remote from a host node is received at the host node. A dynamically generated key is received at the host node, which is used to encipher the digital data stream. The dynamically generated key is enciphered with the first key of the first asymmetric key pair. The enciphered digital data stream and the enciphered dynamically generated key are stored remotely from the host node and the key store.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2013Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: MyMail Technology, LLCInventors: Thomas Drennan Selgas, Jonathan Cutrer
