Filed:

Dec 30, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/330561

Inventors:

Larry L. Lu - Great Falls VA, US
Eric O'Laughlen - Aldie VA, US
John Crowley - Bethesda MD, US

Assignee:

AOL LLC - Dulles VA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709206, 715743

Abstract:

A report card provides a supervisor or master account holder (e. g. , a parent) with information about the activities of an individual or sub-account user (e. g. , a child). For example, the report card may include a list of sites (e. g. , content identifiers and/or uniform resource locators) that an individual has visited or attempted to visit. Other information (e. g. , e-mail and address book activity and instant messaging and contact list activity) also may be provided in addition to tools that allow the master account holder to access information about the activities and to adjust parental controls for the activities.

Appl. No.:

10/986070

Inventors:

John Crowley - Rockville MD, US
Jerry Dowless - Herndon VA, US
James Ellis - Arlington VA, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726006000

Abstract:

A method, system, and medium for performing a security analysis of a system, which is comprised of components and paths wherein a user identifies the components and paths of a system, associates a set of predetermined requirements to the components and paths of a system, and wherein the user selects security services to satisfy the requirements of the paths and components of the system. In at least some embodiments of the invention, the method comprises the publication of reports detailing the components, paths, requirements, and security services of a system as well as the rationale that a security service satisfies the requirements mapped to the components and paths of the system.

Appl. No.:

6/159451

Inventors:

John A. Crowley - Chevy Chase MD

International Classification:

A61C 700

US Classification:

433 6

Abstract:

A dual function orthodontic appliance which permits the orthodontist a wide variety of treatment options in repositioning the teeth to achieve the most orthodontically desirable positions and in maintaining the repositioned teeth in the desired positions is provided. The orthodontic appliance of the present invention includes a palatal overlay molded to conform to the contours of the patient's hard plate and to fit securely against the gingival edge of the lingual surface of the teeth, a pair of posteriorly positioned opposed clasps, and a pair of opposed, spaced retaining and positioning wires which cross over the anterior teeth for a distance necessary to achieve the desired positioning or retaining effect. The orthodontic appliance of the present invention may be adapted to treat the lower teeth by providing in place of the palatal overlay a gingival overlay molded to conform to the periodontal structures on the lingual side of the lower teeth. An additional embodiment provided includes a single continuous substantially horizontal retaining wire having at least one preferably centrally positioned inverted U-shaped adjustment loop which may be clipped to convert the single wire appliance of this embodiment to the more versatile double wire configuration appliance.

Appl. No.:

8/061327

Inventors:

John J. Crowley - Rockville MD
Michael J. Wickham - Vienna VA

Assignee:

TECSEC, Incorporated - Vienna VA

International Classification:

H04L 900

US Classification:

380 9

Abstract:

A portable voice and data encryption device designed to be used with normal wideband telephone and cellular telephones, computers and facsimile machines to transmit voice and data in encrypted form. The V/DED comprises a voice and data encryption module, an encryption and control module, and a modem module. The modem module can adapt its data rate to account for the changes in the signal strength between the sending and receiving sites. The encryption and control module senses the change in data rate of the modem module during transmission and synchronizes the activities of the voice and data module so that the amount of data being produced for encryption and transmission matches the data rate being experienced by the modem module. The V/DED very simply connects to the wall jack of a normal PSTN with the computer, telephone, or facsimile machine plugging directly into the V/DED.

Appl. No.:

8/069577

Inventors:

Edward M. Seheidt - McLean VA
John J. Crowley - Rockville MD

Assignee:

TECSEC, Incorporated - Vienna VA

International Classification:

H04L 908
H04L 928

US Classification:

380 21

Abstract:

A system for the secure communication of a message from a transmitting user to a receiving user using a split key scheme. Each user generates a key component using a cryptographic engine. The key component is a pseudorandom sequence of bits with an appended error detection field which is mathematically calculated based on the pseudorandom sequence. This key component is then sent out on a communications channel from the transmitting user to the receiving user. The receiving user also sends its key component to the transmitting user. Each location performs a mathematical check on the key component received from the other location. If the key component checks pass at both locations, the transmit key component and the receive key component, including the error detection fields, are combined at both locations, forming identical complete keys at both locations. The identical complete keys are then used to initiate the cryptographic engines at both locations for subsequent encryption and decryption of messages between the two locations.
