Abstract
A network system server that provides password composition checking for a plurality of clients is disclosed. The network system server includes a main data store, a security server, which is coupled to the main data store and the plurality of clients, a password synchronization server, which is coupled to the security server, a plurality of password strength servers, each of which is coupled to the password synchronization server, that provides password integrity among the plurality of clients so that each client maintains a password whose composition is consistent with the network server system. Each of the password strength servers is uniquely programmable with respect to performing password composition checking.

System and methodology for managing internet access on a per application basis for client computers connected to the internet

TL;DR: In this paper, a client-based monitoring and filtering of access to an open network, such as a WAN or the Internet, is described, which includes one or more clients, each operating application or process (e.g., Netscape Navigator™ or Microsoft Internet Explorer™ browser software) requiring Internet (or other open network) access, and a centralized enforcement supervisor.
Patent

Automated on-line information service and directory, particularly for the world wide Web

TL;DR: In this article, a database is used to provide a hardware-independent, dynamic information system in which the information content is entirely user-controlled, and requests are received from individual users of the computer network to electronically publish information, and input is accepted from the individual users.
Patent

Method and System for Managing Computer Security Information

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a fusion engine that can identify relationships between one or more real-time, raw computer events as they are received in realtime, and assess and rank the risk of realtime raw events as well as mature correlation events.
Patent

System and methodology for security policy arbitration

TL;DR: In this article, a system providing methods for a device to apply a security policy required for connection to a network is described, where a current policy to apply to a device for governing the connection to this particular network is determined from a plurality of available security policies available to the device.
Patent

Computer immune system and method for detecting unwanted code in a computer system

TL;DR: In this article, an automated analysis system detects malicious code within a computer system by generating and subsequently analyzing a behavior pattern for each computer program introduced to the computer system and storing behavior patterns and sequences in a database.

Cooperative processing interface and communication broker for heterogeneous computing environments

TL;DR: In this article, an object interface is disclosed that supports three modes of inter-object communication: message processing (store and forward), conversational communication, and remote procedure call, and the broker manages the service offerings from servers and service requests from clients.
Patent

One-time logon means and methods for distributed computing systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiple logon procedure (16) and secure transport layer protocol (SPLP) are used with a user's communication software and network communication software to authenticate users in a distributed networked computing system.
Patent

Method and system for authenticating access to heterogeneous computing services

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for authenticating access to heterogeneous computing services is provided. But it does not specify how to authenticate a user's identification information, such as a user name, a password, and a domain.
Patent

Method and apparatus for protecting the confidentiality of passwords in a distributed data processing system

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a login protocol that enables remote authentication of a user's password without transmitting the password over the network, but the login agent is not trusted with the user's passwords and is therefore a "semi-trusted" node.
Patent

Method and apparatus for controlling network and workstation access prior to workstation boot

TL;DR: In this article, a preboot file and information transfer between workstations and servers on local area networks is discussed, where a hardware component, such as a PROM or RAM, is used to enable pre-boot functions to take place in the workstation.
