A graphical payment identifier is used to facilitate the automatic processing of an electronic payment. A graphical identifier payment system receives a request from a payment processing entity for a onetime use graphical payment identifier. In response, a onetime use graphical payment identifier to be displayed by the payment processing entity is generated. A request for user payment information by the payment processing entity is encoded in the graphical payment identifier, which is transmitted to the payment processing entity for display. The graphical payment identifier being displayed by the payment processing entity is captured by a registered user operated computing device. In response, the requested user payment information is transmitted to the payment processing entity, such that the electronic payment is executed automatically, without the user manually entering the requested payment information or providing a credit card.

A computer-implemented method for determining whether to reschedule tasks on computing devices based on power-availability information for a power grid may comprise: 1) identifying at least one task scheduled to execute on a computing device, 2) receiving power-availability information for the power grid, and then 3) determining, based on the power-availability information, whether to reschedule the task. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A computer-implemented method for filtering Internet access may include: 1) identifying a domain-name-system request from a client system, 2) identifying a filtering policy for the client system, 3) bundling the filtering policy with the domain-name-system request, and then 4) forwarding the bundled domain-name-system request to a domain-name-system server. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

A graphical authentication identifier is used to facilitate automatic authentication of a user. A graphical identifier authentication system receives a request from an authenticating entity for a onetime use graphical authentication identifier. In response to the received request, a onetime use graphical authentication identifier to be displayed by the authenticating entity is generated. A request for user authentication information by the authenticating entity is encoded in the graphical authentication identifier, which is transmitted to the authenticating entity for display (e.g., on a login screen). The onetime use graphical authentication identifier being displayed by the authenticating entity is captured by a registered user operated computing device. In response, the requested user authentication information is transmitted to the authenticating entity, such that the user is automatically authenticated to the authenticating entity, without the user manually entering the requested user authentication information.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for resolving a cousin domain name to detect web-based fraud is described. In one embodiment, the method for resolving cousin domain names of a legitimate domain name comprising applying at least one rule to a domain name to generate one or more candidate cousin domain names and comparing the at least one candidate cousin domain name with legitimate domain information to identify the legitimate domain name that is imitated by at least one portion of the domain name.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for enhancing domain-name-server responses may include: 1) receiving a domain-name-system request, 2) identifying a domain of the domain-name-system request, 3) retrieving classification information relating to the domain from a third-party system, and 4) including the classification information in a response to the domain-name-system request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Computer-implemented methods and systems for circumventing malicious attempts to block the installation of security-software programs are disclosed. An exemplary method for performing such a task may comprise: 1) detecting, during installation of a security-software program, an error that is indicative of an attack on the security-software program, 2) identifying at least one executable file targeted by the attack on the security-software program, 3) circumventing the attack by dynamically obfuscating the executable file targeted by the attack, and then 4) completing installation of the security-software program.
摘要:
Client computers track visited websites and monitor confidential information transmitted to the visited websites. Upon subsequent identification of a website as malicious or compromised, it is determined whether the unsecure website was visited, and if so, whether any confidential information was exposed to the unsecure website. Clients compile statistical reports concerning confidential information transmitted to unsecure websites, and provide these reports to a central server. The central server uses statistical reports received from a wide distribution of clients to maintain comprehensive statistical data indicating exposure of confidential information to unsecure websites. This comprehensive statistical data can be used for purposes such as damage assessment, trend tracking and profiling of suspected malicious websites.

File resources that are most likely to be used on a target computer are proactively cached, so that the resources are available before they are needed. This greatly reduces or eliminates associated user wait times. It is determined which file resources are most likely to be used, the cost of transmitting them to the cache, the cost of storing them in the cache and the amount of cache space available. Based on a weighted balancing analysis of factors such as these, specific file resources are proactively streamed for use on the target computer. The determination as to which resources are most likely to be used can be based on a variety of factors, such as usage patterns, schedule based information, user and group based information, target computer and network information, etc.

A graphical checkout identifier is used to facilitate automatic checkout of a user on a webstore. A graphical identifier checkout system receives a request from a webstore for a onetime use graphical checkout identifier. In response to the received request, a onetime use graphical checkout identifier to be displayed by the webstore is generated. A request for checkout completion information by the webstore is encoded in the graphical checkout identifier, which is transmitted to the webstore for display. The onetime use graphical checkout identifier being displayed by the webstore is captured by a registered user operated computing device. In response, the requested checkout completion information is transmitted to the webstore, such that the user is automatically checked out on the webstore, without the user manually logging in to the webstore or entering the requested checkout completion information.
