Latest Patents
Forrest E Stoakes holds a patent for a "Trusted services broker for web page fine-grained security labeling." This invention provides an arbitrarily fine-grained limitation of access to information stored in a resource of a data processor network. It achieves this by mapping user identity and credentials with randomly assigned security cookie information, which serves as a surrogate credential accompanying each user request during a session. The labels are embedded within HTML files/text, allowing for the embodiment of any desired security policy, including mandatory access control (MAC) arrangements that are not available through native browser functions. Data is retrieved in response to a user request that includes a security cookie from a location in the resource that is not directly accessible through a URL. This location is stored in a configuration file that is hidden from users. The retrieved data is then filtered according to the labels provided for each page and/or embedded in the text, which is used to build a response that may include hypertext links or other user interfaces for transmission to the user. Additionally, provisions are made for viewing or changing labels, credentials, and passwords.
