Latest Patents
One of Jeffrey's latest patents is the "License Re-allocation System and Method." This invention facilitates flexible and effective licensing distribution. The system enables the convenient movement of licensed information between hardware devices while ensuring compliance with license terms. An expired license indication is generated upon license expiration, signaling that prior license keys associated with proprietary information are no longer valid. Upon receiving a valid expired license indication and expired license keys, new license key(s) are issued for different hardware. The invention utilizes a globally unique and mutable license serial number (LSN) to generate license keys, ensuring both uniqueness and adaptability.
Another notable patent is the "Distributed System Authentication." This technique authenticates a user submitting a service request from a client to a server. A service agent on the server receives the request and submits an authentication request to a manager agent. If the user is authenticated successfully, the manager agent transmits user authentication information to the service agent, which stores it along with a time-out value. The service agent then shares this information with a distributed application to provide the requested service. The manager agent monitors the time-out period to determine if re-authentication is necessary.
