A method of providing web site verification information to a user can include receiving a DNS query including a host name and a seal verification site name, parsing the DNS query, and extracting the host name from the DNS query. The method also can include accessing a DNS zone file including a list of Trust Services customers and determining if the host name is associated with a Trust Services customer in the list of Trust Services customers. The method further can include transmitting a positive identifier to the requester if the host name is associated with a Trust Services customer and transmitting a negative identifier to the requester if the host name is not associated with a Trust Services customer. In a specific embodiment, the Trust Services include issuance of digital certificates.

Optimizing security seals on web pages

A computing system receives an authentication request from a user device for access to a web application hosted in a cloud and determines that the authentication request is a candidate for modification based on initial user credentials in the authentication request. The computing system modifies the authentication request to include replacement user credentials that correspond to the initial user credentials and transmits the modified authentication request to the web application in the cloud. The web application determines whether the modified authentication request is valid based on the replacement user credentials.

Abstracting credentials for mobile client authentication

In a centralized credential management system, website credentials are stored in a vault storage at a vault. The website credentials are encrypted based upon a key not available to the vault and are for authenticating a user to a third party website. Through a client, a user authenticates to the vault and retrieves the encrypted website credentials and parameters and code for properly injecting the credentials into a website authentication form. The website credentials are decrypted at the client and injected into the authentication form using the parameters and code.

Method and system for providing security seals on web pages

A method and system for monitoring relay status using a lighting control panel is disclosed. The lighting control panel is used, for example, to control lighting throughout a building. The method includes the steps of commanding at least one relay to an on or off position from the lighting control panel, monitoring the status of the at least one relay from the lighting control panel, and setting the state of an indicator on the lighting control panel to show relay OFF, relay ON, or relay failed based on a monitored relay status.
