G06F 3/0481
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715772

Abstract:

Security is enhanced for a user of an electronic device by providing a method for visually monitoring the progress of a security operation on an electronic device that provides a plurality of objects including at least one of an application, a document, a file, an image, and a record. When a security operation is launched for at least some of the plurality of objects, an operation window is displayed on the electronic device's display screen. The operation window includes a first operation icon corresponding to a first object on which the security operation is currently being performed. The first operation icon includes a thumbnail icon representing the first object and an operation completion indicator that visually indicates a completion level of the security operation currently being performed on the first object.

Abstract:

A method is provided for evaluating the usage of a mobile communications device that itself provides access to a resource. In the method, a detected usage of the mobile communications device is compared to a stored usage pattern of an authorized user. When a measure associated with the difference between the detected usage and the stored usage pattern exceeds a threshold, it is concluded that the mobile communications device is being used by an unauthorized user. In response to this conclusion, a restriction is placed on an ability of the mobile communications device to access the resource.

H04W 12/12

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for providing a mobile communications device with access to a provider with a plurality of security levels. The security state of the device varies according to severity levels of device security events. The mobile communications device generates data regarding security events and provides the data to the provider, which compares that security state to a policy associated with the provider. The mobile communications device is allowed to access to a provider service where the device's current security state meets or exceeds the security state required for the provider service.

International Classification:

G06F 21/35
H04W 12/06
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

The method disclosed herein provides for performing user authentication and maintaining user authentication and access to a first device based on the user maintaining control of the first device. The continued control may be based on determining the user's continued possession of the first device, or determining an acceptable proximity of the user to the first device. The proximity of the user may be determined using a second device associated with the user, or sensors associated with the first device.

Kevin Patrick Mahaffey - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

In one approach, a first computing device receives a request from a second computing device. The request is for access by the second computing device to a service provided by a third computing device over a network. In response to receiving the request, the first computing device performs a security evaluation of the second computing device. The evaluation determines a risk level. The first computing device generates, based on the evaluation, a token for the second computing device. The token includes data encoding the risk level. The token is sent to the second computing device and/or third computing device. The sent data is used to configure the service provided to the second computing device.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for managing personal data on a client computer in which personal data stored at one or more locations on the client computer is identified by a policy management module on the computer or a server. A policy is then created based on the identified personal data. The policy management module monitors at least the personal data stored in the one or more locations and detects attempts to access the monitored data and determines whether the attempts are in violation of the policy.
