"We are excited to be offering this portfolio to our global base of buyers," says Dean Becker, CEO ICAP Patent Brokerage and ICAP Ocean Tomo auctions.

Key Characteristics & Benefits
The first ASTAV, inc. lot includes advanced techniques for authenticating online accesses which, unlike prior techniques, do not burden users and providers with excessive costs and inconvenience even in the face of stolen passwords and man-in-the-middle attacks. These advanced techniques provide secure two-factor authentication by employing a user's own telephone device, which can be a mobile phone.  Here is a video demonstration: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7682117514800090035&hl=en.

The second and third ASTAV, inc. lots offer improved online human tests along with techniques for protecting against online scammers who use OCR bots or low paid workers or duped online users to defeat human tests for the purpose of engaging in malevolent acts. 

The fourth ASTAV, inc. lot offers a powerful and flexible anti-spam arsenal that turns the tables on spammers.
