20090177892 | PROXIMITY AUTHENTICATION - A security token is coupled to a computer and is available for use by both local and remote processes for on-demand response to a challenge. To minimize the security risk of an unattended session, the challenge may be issued to verify the presence of the token. When the token has a user interface, it may be used in conjunction with the computer to require that a user also participate in transferring displayed data between the token and computer. This helps to ensure that not only the token, but the user are both present at the computer during operation. For the most sensitive operations, such a confirmation may be required with each data submission. | 07-09-2009 |
20090178123 | TRUSTED INTERNET IDENTITY - A token or other storage device uses Internet identities to set file access attribute rights. Subsequently, requests to access a file can be controlled by confirming the Internet identity of the requester by either validating the request with a known public key or retrieving the public key from an Internet identity provider. Files may be stored encrypted and may be re-encrypted with the public key associated with Internet identity making the request. | 07-09-2009 |
20090183249 | TRUSTED STORAGE AND DISPLAY - A storage token has a display and a keyboard, or other input device, that allows a user to view a request to access a memory location and enter a response to the request. The display allows presentation of details of the request, such as a pathname to a requested memory location, metadata describing a cryptographic key for use in a transaction confirmation, and/or transaction details which are awaiting verification by a credential stored on the token. The storage token may also include a cryptographic engine and a secure memory allowing signing data returned in response to the request. | 07-16-2009 |
20100281252 | ALTERNATE AUTHENTICATION - A user may utilize an existing digital identity to authorize the user's access to security-enabled device operations, where the security-enabled device comprises a cryptographic chip. The device can receive a user authentication token from the digital user identification service, which authenticates a user's identity. Further, the security-enabled device can validate the user authentication token, and provide the user access to device security operations on the security-enabled device if the user authentication token is successfully validated, allowing the user to reset their security access information for the device. | 11-04-2010 |
20120304260 | PROTECTION FROM UNFAMILIAR LOGIN LOCATIONS - In one embodiment, a user authentication server may use geo-location tracking to determine whether to present an enhanced identity challenge. A communication interface | 11-29-2012 |
20130081116 | TRUSTED INTERNET IDENTITY - A token or other storage device uses Internet identities to set file access attribute rights. Subsequently, requests to access a file can be controlled by confirming the Internet identity of the requestor by either validating the request with a known public key or retrieving the public key from an Internet identity provider. Files may be stored encrypted and may be re-encrypted with the public key associated with Internet identity making the request. | 03-28-2013 |
20150106908 | TRUSTED INTERNET IDENTITY - A token or other storage device uses Internet identities to set file access attribute rights. Subsequently, requests to access a file can be controlled by confirming the Internet identity of the requestor by either validating the request with a known public key or retrieving the public key from an Internet identity provider. Files may be stored encrypted and may be re-encrypted with the public key associated with Internet identity making the request. | 04-16-2015 |
