20090240937 | SEPARATED STORAGE OF DATA AND KEY NECESSARY TO ACCESS THE DATA - A novel approach introduces an extra layer of data security by storing files and the keys required to access the files separately. When the files are being accessed, the host of the files sends a request to an access device that stores the keys to access the files. The key will be provided to the host only if at least one of the following conditions is met: the host is within close proximity of the access device, the identity of the person attempting to access the files is authenticated, or the security status of the host is verified. | 09-24-2009 |

20080208548 | Credit Report-Based Predictive Models - An example embodiment provides for systems, apparatuses and methods directed to determining the likelihood that a given individual may need or obtain a credit product. This is accomplished by obtaining non-contemporaneous snapshots of credit files and using the non-contemporaneous snapshots to build a predictive model to determine a likelihood that a given individual will be needing a credit product. In one implementation, the credit product is a non-credit product. Other systems, apparatuses and methods can also be employed to sell preferential placement of advertisements on a website. | 08-28-2008 |
20080294689 | Credit Report Locking/Unlocking Via Telephone Interface - The present invention, in particular embodiments, is directed to methods, apparatuses and systems directed to locking and unlocking of credit reports via a telephone interface. In a particular implementation, the present invention provides a voice interface server accessible to consumers via a telephone and a voice-based credit report access system. The voice-based credit report access system is operative to accept telephone requests to lock or unlock a credit report and pass those requests to a credit report retrieval system. When the request is received, the credit report retrieval system accordingly updates the consumer's entry in a lock status database. When the credit report retrieval system receives a credit report request, the lock status database is queried. If the consumer's entry has a locked status, the credit report is denied. If the status is unlocked, the credit report is provided to the requestor. In a particular implementation, a number of access attempts field of the consumer's entry is updated each time access to the credit report is denied while the credit report is locked. | 11-27-2008 |

Embodiments of the present invention allow a first on-line service entity having its own membership model to efficiently collaborate with a second on-line service entity to offer its users the services of the second on-line service entity in a seamless and consistently branded manner. One implementation obviates the need for synchronization of the membership models between the first and second on-line service entities. One implementation allows the second on-line service entity to provide services to the users associated with the first on-line service entity in a seamless manner without the first on-line service entity having to proxy the session between the second online service entity and the users. | 05-23-2013 |
20130166504 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION - Migration or cloning of a source machine from a source platform to a destination platform includes collecting an image of the source machine in a storage device of a migration platform, converting the image of the source machine for deployment in a virtualization environment, deploying the converted image to a selected virtualization environment in the destination platform, and synchronizing data of the deployed converted image to current data on the source machine, if the data on the source machine has changed since the image of the source machine was collected. | 06-27-2013 |
20130318588 | IDENTITY VERIFICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods for authenticating the identity of a user prior to giving access to confidential data at a user interface via a network are described. In an exemplary implementation in an Internet environment, a server hosts an application providing selective access by the user to confidential data related to the user. The user provides initial data to the application as part of a request to access the confidential data. At least one database having the confidential data stored therein is accessed by the server to retrieve confidential data relating to the user located in the database based on the initial data received from the client interface. An authentication function causes the server to transmit to the client interface and present to the user an incomplete portion of the confidential data relating to the user, which is not identical to the initial data, along with at least one other portion of data having a substantially identical format to the incomplete portion of the confidential data. The authentication function requests the user to provide additional data to complete the incomplete portion of the confidential data. The user is granted access to the confidential data subsequent to determination by the application that the user correctly completed the incomplete portion of the confidential data. | 11-28-2013 |
