Abstract:

A method for electronically generating and assigning a photograph is provided. The method employs a server-based control program and preferably utilizes an Internet web browser to interface with users. The control program receives a photograph request from a user and issues a user identification and an access code for that specific user. The control program then receives a photograph specification from the user, the specification detailing the criteria for the photograph, such as size, style and media. The user may be a single customer or a group. The user searches a photographer data base for a photographer that corresponds to user's needs. The program then transmits the specifications to the selected photographers. The control program co-ordinates the user's review and/or approval of submissions by the photographer in response to the user's specifications. When the photographic assignment submittal is finally approved as submitted, the transaction is closed, with the control program performing appropriate notification and billing functions.

US Classification:

713155, 713182, 713186, 726 8, 726 22

Abstract:

Mutual authentication systems and methods are described that comprise an authenticating server that is available across a network and capable of authenticating a user based on credentials provided by the user. An embeddable object provided by the authenticating server and containing a passphrase that identifies the server to the user. A credentials entry mechanism identifies the user to the authenticating server. A user device displays an Outer Page that can request authentication. The authenticating server verifies the source of the request and provides the passphrase to the user device. The display of the passphrase confirms the identity of the authenticating server to the user. The source of the request can be verified using a secure cookie. The embeddable object can be provided in a second page and can prevent display of the passphrase if user input is not directed to the second page.
