Abstract:

A URL processing system and associated communication protocol enables network compatible applications to be securely integrated into any process involving concurrent operation of applications. A system employed by an application for encoding URL link data for use in detecting unauthorized URL modification includes a link processor for processing URL data. The link processor adaptively identifies and encrypts an address portion of a URL and incorporates the encrypted address portion of the URL together with the non-encrypted portion of the URL into a single processed URL data string. The system also includes a communication processor for incorporating the processed URL data string into formatted data for communication to a request device. The link processor compresses the identified URL address portion (e. g. , with a hash function) prior to encryption.

Abstract:

A system processes and communicates URL data to enable network (including Internet) compatible applications to be securely integrated into any process involving concurrent operation of applications. A first application employs a system for encoding URL link data for use in detecting unauthorized URL modification. The system includes an input processor for receiving an encryption key and a URL processor for processing a URL link to a second application using the received encryption key. The URL processor identifies URL type and adaptively encrypts a URL link address portion based on the identified type to produce a processed URL. A communication processor includes the processed URL in data representing a web page and communicates the web page representative data including the processed URL to a requesting application. A managing application provides a common encryption key to a plurality of concurrently operating applications for use by the URL processor and the URL processor also adaptively generates URL fields including an encrypted URL address portion and a non-encrypted session identifier.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

726 8, 713168, 726 21, 709225, 709229

Abstract:

A system and associated communication protocol facilitates management of user access to network (including Internet) compatible applications. An authentication system used by a first application for managing user access to at least one of a plurality of network compatible applications uses an authentication processor. The authentication processor receives user identification information including a user identifier and initiates authentication of the user identification information using an authentication service. The authentication system also includes a communication processor for communicating an authentication service identifier and a corresponding user identifier to a managing application. The authentication service identifier identifies an authentication service used to authenticate identification information of the corresponding user. The authentication processor maps a non-authenticated user identifier of a second application to an authenticated different user identifier of a first application using a database.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709225, 719329

Abstract:

A system and associated communication protocol enables network compatible applications to be integrated into any process involving concurrent operation of applications. A system for use in a first application concurrently operating together with a plurality of network compatible applications includes an entitlement processor. The entitlement processor enables user access to the first application in response to validation of user identification information. The system also includes a communication processor for intermittently communicating an activity indication to a managing application within a timeout window and the activity indication is communicated sufficiently often to prevent an inactivity timeout of the first application. The managing application receives activity indications from multiple concurrently operating applications sufficiently frequently to prevent an inactivity timeout of the individual applications and maintains corresponding activity monitoring indicators.

Appl. No.:

10/458170

Inventors:

Barry Royer - Blue Bell PA, US

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/227000

Abstract:

A system supports concurrent operation of multiple network compatible applications using corresponding multiple different operation interfaces. The system includes a data processor, a first interface processor, and a second interface processor. The data processor formats context data received from a first application to be compatible with an interface data format of a second application and formats the received context data to be compatible with an interface data format of a third application in response to examination of an indicator identifying a network connection to the third application. The first interface processor communicates formatted and compatible context data to the second application. The second interface processor communicates formatted and compatible context data to the third application.
