Latest Patents
One of Johnny Liu's latest patents is titled "Remote sign-out of web based service sessions." This invention allows users to manage their authentication tokens effectively. The process involves accessing a user authentication token that establishes a web-based service session. This token is stored in the memory of an authentication server and returned in a cookie to the user's device. The invention accommodates user access and deletion of the authentication token from a different device than the one that initially established the session. Additionally, upon receiving a browser request involving the token, the system determines whether the token is stored in memory and provides an access denial indication if it is not.
Another notable patent is the "Request authentication token." This mechanism generates an authentication token for network-based services. The token is provided to a client device as part of the content page code. When the content page is loaded by a browser application, the authentication token is also loaded. Upon receiving subsequent input, the browser can send a content request to the server, which includes the authentication token maintained by the browser. The server validates the token using version information and master authentication tokens.
