A mobile device including a biometric or passcode scanner, scanning a biometric or passcode of a user of the mobile device, a biometric or passcode validator, validating the biometric data or passcode, a connection controller logging in to a secure network, and an access requestor, submitting to a server computer via a connection over the secure network, an access request for secure data, access to which is controlled by the server, and prompting the user to enter a biometric or to enter a passcode, wherein the biometric or passcode scanner scans the biometric or passcode entered by the user, the biometric or passcode validator validates the scanned biometric or passcode, and contingent upon the validating being affirmative, the access requestor submits to the server over the secure network, a request that the server generate an authentication for the mobile device to access the secure data.

Authorization of authentication

A malware warning system, including a client sending requests to and receiving replies from a server, and a server, including a first warning generator sending to the client a warning including a threat level of content located at a web site, in response to receiving from the client a URL for accessing content at the web site, a second warning generator sending to the client a warning including information about at least one of the nature of the threat of the content located at the web site and a location of the web site, in response to receiving from the client a request for more information about the nature of the threat, and a third warning generator, sending to the client a warning including an instruction to perform a swipe gesture to confirm a request to access the URL, in response to receiving that request from the client.

Malware warning

A mobile web browser embedded in a smartphone operative to open a secure and private session with a web server on the Internet via one or more cell towers, using a mobile IP address of the smartphone, the mobile web browser including a VPN connector operative to connect the smartphone to a secure VPN server and to establish a virtual IP address for the smartphone, the virtual IP address corresponding to the location of the VPN server, a switch operable to change a current IP address of the smartphone used by the mobile web browser from a non-VPN mobile IP address to the virtual IP address of the VPN server, in a seamless manner without interrupting a current session with a web server, a URL content scanner causing a URL of a web page to be scanned for potential malware, a URL blocker, a tracker scanner and a tracker blocker.

Secure and private mobile web browser

An electronic device including a memory storing at least one of biometric or passcode data of a user, and a processor (i) requesting access of data over the secure network, wherein access to the data is controlled by a server, (ii) scanning biometric or passcode data of the user and validating the scanned biometric or passcode data with the biometric or passcode data of the user stored in said memory, (iii) validating the biometric or passcode data of the user, and (iv) contingent upon the validation being affirmative, submitting a request to the server to generate an authorized area of authentication (AAA) that includes the current location of the electronic device, wherein the server enables access to the secure data only when the location of the electronic device remains within the AAA.

Authorized areas of authentication

An electronic device including a memory storing biometric or passcode data of a user, and a processor, scanning biometric or passcode data of the user and validating the scanned biometric or passcode data with the stored biometric or passcode data, dynamically identifying a current location of the electronic device, accessing a secure network, requesting access of data over the secure network, wherein access to the data is controlled by a server and the server enables access to the secure data only when the current location of the electronic device is within an authorized area of authentication (AAA), and if the current location of the mobile device is not within an existing AAA, the biometric or passcode data of the user is validated and contingent upon the validation being affirmative, submitting a request to the server to generate a temporary AAA that includes the current location of the electronic device.

A secure access system, including a stationary computing device that controls access to secure data over a secure network, including an authorized area of authentication (AAA) generator, generating an AAA for administering the secure data, an AAA validator, validating a mobile computing device that a request to access the secure data over the secure network, by verifying that a current location of the mobile device is within the AAA, and an access controller, enabling the mobile device to access the secure data, only in response to the validator affirmatively validating the mobile device, and a mobile computing device including a location identifier, dynamically identifying a current location of the mobile device, a connection controller for logging into the secure network, and an access requestor, submitting to the access controller via the secure network (i) an access request for the secure data, and (ii) the current location of the mobile device.
