Title: An anti-phishing system for enhancing network security
Inventor: CURNYN JON
IPC: G06F21/20
Filed: 2006-01-12
Abstract: An anti-phishing system stores a number of legitimate network addresses along with associated data. The system analyses data transmitted between a user and a remote site to determine if the transmitted data is related to the stored data. If it is found to be related, user access to the remote she is denied unless the remote site's address is one of the stored legitimate network addresses. The data stored may include known information from legitimate websites likely to be subject to phishing attacks upon their customers, e.g. logos, keywords, styles, IP addresses and URLs. Preferably algorithms are used to determine if the network traffic is related to the stored data and may include lexical analysis, image recognition, exact and inexact pattern matching and digest calculation. This provides more security than was previously available since it protects the user against attacks from sites that were not previously known to pose a threat.

Title: Radio imaging of underground structures: Elimination of need for synchronisation channel
Inventor: GIBSON ANTHONY DAVID WILSON
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2006-10-17
Abstract: A method of radio-imaging of geological features (particularly the imaging of coal seams) utilises the property of dispersion, by which is meant that signals of different frequencies travel at different velocities in a medium that can be classed as a good conductor. At the receiver, multiple measurements of relative phase shift made at three or more transmitted distinct frequencies can be used to deduce the conductivity of the medium. This is achieved without needing to know the absolute phase of the transmitted signal, thereby eliminating the need for a separate synchronisation channel. The transmitted frequencies may be closely-spaced to allow a single tuned antenna to be used. In one embodiment, the receiver utilises a magnetic loop antenna 41 and the signal is self-synchronised using a code-locked loop and a calculated inverse sequence 46. The relative phase-shifts are calculated using a Fourier transform within a microprocessor 44.
