Taher Elgamal - Atherton CA, US
Kieran Gerard Sherlock - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:
705 44
Abstract:
Systems and methods for assessing and authenticating transactions are disclosed. Some exemplary embodiments may authenticate transactions based at least in part on a comparison of a newly obtained electronic signature associated with a user with a previously obtained electronic signature associated with the user, where a payment instrument presented for use in the transaction is also associated with the user. Exemplary electronic signatures may comprise any information which may identify the user, such as browser fingerprints, computer fingerprints, IP addresses, geographic IP location information, information associated with a payment, and/or a typing patterns.

US Patent:
20110251951, Oct 13, 2011
Filed:
Apr 13, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/085819
Inventors:
Dan Kolkowitz - Los Altos Hills CA, US
Taher Elgamal - Atherton CA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:
705 39
Abstract:
Methods, systems, appliances and/or apparati related to identifying potential fraud associated with financial transactions are provided. An example system for identifying potentially fraudulent financial transactions may include transaction-model databases, a fraud assessment engine operably coupled to the transaction-model databases, and a reporting engine operably coupled to the fraud assessment engine. The transaction-model databases may be configured to store transaction-model data associated with a plurality of historical financial transactions. The transaction-model data may include a plurality of attribute data corresponding to a respective attribute of the historical financial transactions. The fraud assessment engine may generate a fraud assessment based (at least in part) on a comparison of current financial transaction attribute data (and/or or the values thereof) with at least a portion of the transaction-model data. The reporting engine may generate a fraud assessment report and/or a fraud alert signal based (at least in part) on the fraud assessment.

US Patent:
60944854, Jul 25, 2000
Filed:
Sep 18, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/933127
Inventors:
Jeff Weinstein - Los Gatos CA
Tom Weinstein - Sunnyvale CA
Taher Elgamal - Atherton CA
Assignee:
Netscape Communications Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
H04K 100
US Classification:
380 30
Abstract:
A process is provided that allows an exportable SSL client to negotiate an encrypted session using strong encryption with a server if the server is allowed to use strong encryption. With this process, the SSL client is normally limited to export strength encryption. But, when it is communicating with an approved server, it is able to expand the available set of encryption algorithms to include stronger algorithms/key lengths. The process involves performing an SSL handshake twice. The process begins when a client, i. e. a user, wants to establish a session with a server. The client first initiates a network connection to the server. The first handshake between an export client and an approved server results in an SSL session that uses export strength encryption. This establishes a connection using an exportable cipher suite. The client examines the server's certificate obtained as part of the first handshake.
