another interview mark kay same old speech
mark please shut up no one believe your rehearsed monologue.
no one believes it , you have no credibility same old crap
8+ yrs. please no more interviews no more press.
by the way sf will probably be filling for a new patent soon.
he he he
every penny stock has what i call the final death pump. where at that point, around a bill shares when you go beyond this point the stock is dead. they have one more pump left. i cant tell you the exact date. im talking pump to .05- .10
you got that right,
lets look at facts
- no money
- no contract
- patent case will go on yr or more
- you can only play the dilution game so long
- never get to 2-3 bill shares
- so at some point this yr early next the pump
- 1-3 cent they need the money to keep this pos going.
- seen many penny scams with a billion out go up few cents.
- remember phoneguard (opmg)justin bieber strikeforce partner few yrs back that pos went to .10 with over a billion out.
P.S THE NOW HAVE 4.4 BILL OUT
mark does not raise money for sf he scams stock holders
thats the facts. 2006 to present stock holder have gotten the shaft
HE GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT ANSWER THE PHONE AND MONITOR THE
BOARDS TO KEEP HIS SCAM GOING. WHAT DOES THIS GUY DO?
NO CONTRACTS, INTERVIEWS THAT HE PAYS FOR, WHAT ELSE ?
10 YR NO CONTRACTS NO MONEY.
THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION IS MARK WILL KEEP THE PRICE IN THE TANK
UNTIL THEY WIN THE PATENT CASE , THEN GO PRIVATE. (THATS THE PLAN)
its not consistent with a company looking out for stock holders.
we have mark kay who runs this board wanting the stock to tank

Exclusive: Intellectual Ventures faces novel attack on patent business
Reuters By Dan Levine and Tom Hals
October 29, 2013 7:10 AM
By Dan Levine and Tom Hals
SAN FRANCISCO/ WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) - Seven years ago, Intellectual Ventures bought a patent on technology that helps detect malicious software embedded in digital content. The price? $750,000.
Now Intellectual Ventures is arguing in a Delaware courtroom that Internet security firms Symantec and Trend Micro should pay roughly $310 million combined for a license to that patent through the end of last year.
Intellectual Ventures, a multi-billion-dollar firm that virtually invented a new market for patents and inventions, says that figure represents fair compensation given how extensively Symantec and Trend Micro products rely on the technology.
Symantec and Trend Micro are fighting back - and advancing a novel legal theory that could pose a significant threat to the business model of Intellectual Ventures (IV) and other patent acquisition firms.
The two companies are asking a federal judge to bar IV from seeking such large licensing fees on the grounds that a patent acquired for so little couldn't possibly be worth so much. That's on top of more traditional arguments that Symantec and Trend Micro do not violate IV's patents in the first place.
In court filings and at a hearing in August, Symantec and Trend Micro lawyers argued that the law prohibits IV from calculating such a high royalty. A patent license is, by definition, less valuable than outright ownership of a patent, Symantec and Trend Micro lawyers said.
"They have turned that thing into a diamond," Trend Micro lawyer Yar Chaikovsky said at the hearing.
Representatives of Intellectual Ventures, Symantec and Trend Micro all declined to comment on the case.
Thomas Cotter, a patent damages expert at the University of Minnesota Law School who is not involved in the case, said he is unaware of any court ruling along the lines being urged by Symantec and Trend Micro. For Intellectual Ventures, which says it has earned about $3 billion to date from licensing its thousands of patents, the stakes could hardly be higher.
"If the royalty is capped at the purchase price, there's obviously no point in being a patent assertion entity," Cotter said.
U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark of Delaware highlighted the issue at the hearing.
"Who would possibly pay hundreds of millions of dollars for something that we know a willing seller would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Stark asked.
Intellectual Ventures attorney Richard Hess said his client had a lot more information about the patent's value than the seller, because IV knew how much companies like Symantec and Trend Micro used the technology.
"If you don't know the extent of use, then you can't extract the large price," Hess said.
In patent lawsuits, the value of a patent is determined by a complicated analysis which takes into account a wide set of data points. Those often include what rates a company pays for a license to similar patents, how broad a license is being offered, the value of the products that use the patented technology and whether the two litigating companies are competitors.
IV's argument that the purchase price is irrelevant to damages is credible, Cotter said.
"They're a type of intermediary or broker, providing a service," Cotter said, "and the spread between the price they buy and the price they sell is their compensation for that service. Plus, there's always some risk they won't get anything."
PATENT POLITICS HEAT UP
Since its founding in 2000, IV has raised about $6 billion from investors and argues that it creates an organized mechanism for innovators of all stripes to capitalize on their ideas.
Over the years, though, IV and other firms like it have faced criticism from the technology industry, which argues that patent litigation and royalty payments have become a burdensome tax on innovation, and that firms like IV that do not primarily make products are exploiting the patent system.
The debate has caught fire in the U.S. Congress, where several legislators are advancing proposals which make it easier to fight patent lawsuits.
U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Chairman Robert Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, introduced a bill last week that would lessen the costs of defending such cases - a main source of leverage for patent holders, who can hold out the threat of expensive litigation to win settlements. One provision would make it easier for a company to recover its legal fees if it fights a frivolous patent lawsuit and wins.
The political pressure and the new legal threat to its business model coincide with Intellectual Ventures' attempts to raise $3 billion more. The company has curtailed its patent buying in recent months, as it can no longer use capital from its last major investment fund to buy new intellectual property.
Intellectual Ventures sued Symantec, Trend Micro and two other software security companies in 2010, part of a wave of lawsuits that signaled a change in strategy by IV. The company had argued for years that litigation was an inefficient way to establish patent royalties and preferred to negotiate licensing deals for its ever-growing patent portfolio.
Intel Corp's McAfee unit and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd both settled with IV on undisclosed terms, while Symantec and Trend Micro chose to fight. No trial date has been set.
Even if the federal judge sides with IV and allows its damages theory at trial, Symantec and Trend Micro could still try to convince a jury that it is unfair.
The outcome will be an important signpost for patent aggregators in future, said U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel, currently the head of the Federal Judicial Center, which conducts studies on behalf of the U.S. judiciary.
"These kinds of decisions really have market effects," he said.
The case could also influence the political debate in Washington. While Goodlatte's bill does not directly address the types of huge damages awards being argued in Delaware, Fogel said rulings that firms like Intellectual Ventures are entitled to payouts at high multiples of its purchase price could increase the pressure on lawmakers to wade in.
"I don't think Congress is going to leave this alone," Fogel said.

When many companies will not negotiate with inventors, even when they know that the IP is valuable, inventors are forced to find a buyer that will be a strong advocate for their interests. IV would not be successful if established companies didn't stonewall.

Delaware only uses judges that have at least 25 years experience as a lawyer. They know what they are doing and are referred to as Masters of The Court. Delaware also gives very fast decisions in court cases and they do not go beyond six months. That is why many leasing companies, trucking companies and other entities that often have lawsuits brought against them, set up the corporation in Delaware, instead of any other state. Also the payouts are lower in Delaware than any other state, so that is why i also chose DE for my corp registration over ten years ago.

Without. Patent infringement its over. The big boys got oob auth
Not going to let it go so fast. All we get is more bs reseller agreements
Thats more of the same old sh--t. Strikeforse cant sign contracts
Never could. The market is saying no confidence in patent or
This company.
i agree somethings wrong with this picture. 2factor oob auth is
on fire this is fact. micros.is getting minimal $2 per month per user, thats probably the going rate, SF claims to have 12mill users
and over 5 mill GD downloads at a $1 per yr per user (is it free)
based on the stock price the market thinks SF has no chance
at patent infr. yet the courts are allowing this thing to go forward. ????????
WINDOWS AZURE STRIKEFORCE MEAL TICKET
Windows Azure Cloud Platform Gets Two-Factor Authentication--Big Time
By Sean Michael Kerner | Posted 2013-09-28 Email this article Email Print this article Print
Cloud
Whenever anyone asks me if the cloud is secure, I typically have a very simple answer: The cloud is no more and no less secure than the controls that enterprises, users and cloud providers put in place.
Until this week, I did not consider the Microsoft Azure cloud to be particularly secure. That's not because I think Microsoft is doing a bad job with security, but rather because I believe that users are always the weak link. More often than not in my experience, a single username and password is exploited and can lead to a breach affecting millions of users.
That's why two-factor authentication is a must-have, and it is now something that Microsoft's Azure cloud does have in a very robust way.
With two-factor authentication, instead of relying on a single username and password to secure access, a second factor is employed to authenticate a user. So even if a user has a weak password that is cracked, or even if a password database is lost or stolen, an attacker still will not have access.
Microsoft, which announced general availability for Windows Azure multifactor authentication on Sept. 26, has made three options available as part of its multi-factor authentication system. One option is the use of a separate application that generates the second-factor. Another available option is the use of a text message (SMS) sent to the user's mobile phone that includes the second factor. The third option is an automated voice call that provides the user with the required second-factor authentication.
What all those methods aim to provide is also a degree of randomness, which I have long argued is the key to security as well. So instead of just having a single static password and then perhaps a second static password as the second factor, the second factor is random. By being random, it dramatically increases the complexity of the password pair and makes it significantly harder for any would-be attacker to gain unauthorized access.
Multiple vendors in the consumer space, including Google, Facebook, Twitter and even Apple have all implemented various forms of two-factor authentication to help secure uses.
Microsoft's approach on Azure is somewhat different than what the consumer services are currently offering. With the Windows Azure multifactor authentication system, a cloud administrator can now enable two-factor authentication across cloud applications hosted on Azure. That's right, it's not just about access to Azure; it's also about the applications you host on Azure, too.
This isn't a free service. Microsoft is now offering Windows Azure multifactor authentication on a number of different price plans, starting with a $2 per month per user option.
For users who want to roll their own two-factor authentication system in the cloud, there are lots of options that I've experimented with, including the open-source LinTOP project. But I suspect that when it comes to Azure and the types of users who prefer to use Windows, Microsoft's new security service will be an easy service to adopt that will help to quickly improve cloud security.

Article from: Internet Wire | September 5
was that the gay rights thing?
people are a joke,over 5 mill download GD and over 12 milL users
of PD so the say. INCOME ?
THEY HAVE NO SUBSTANTIAL CONTRACTS, LIKE BACK IN THE DAYS OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND RED CROSS, THE CONTRACT WAS WITH STEVEN COOPER WHO AT THE TIME WAS IN CHARGE OF BOTH HS & RC. SO COOPER USED
OOB AUTH. FOR HIMSELF NOT ALL HS & RC. A PLAY ON WORDS THE GRAY AREA. WE CAN ADVERTISE AS A HS/RC COMPANY AND NOT GET NAILED.
SAME THING NOW.
thanks for your response. i was questioning your sincerity becouse
neither scenario is going to happen. if sf starts swimming in cash
there are better ways to put the money to use. if they win against
micro. we may just get a buyout(PS THOSE TALKS ARE ON GOING).
i see lots of newbies on the board pumping is getting old
its time sf shows us the money/contracts.
(HIPAA) Y F S B
you say buyback shares (R/S) why? whats the point, company will be worth the same if you have 1.5 bill shares or 100 mill.
mark talks about share holders bringing in contracts.
well ok thats a nice idea. but tell me i work in healthcare 21yr
mobile apps is the big thing the problem in health care is protecting patient info (hippa). now lets take a company like
cerner developing internal mobile app for docs. what do i do
contact there I.T PEOPLE and say hay i know about this great
product thats not quit ready for prime time, O by the way the company is broke, up to its eyeballs in debt, not even worth a penny
stock and has contracts they cant/ will not talk about.
i get fired.
i dont know what the you just said, (my spelling may be off a bit
since a had a few vodkas ciroc ) anyway basically sf has implemented every strategy that i have told them, feel free to go back to all my many post over that last 6 yr to prove my point. there will be no R/S NO NEED bottom line the law suit agian micro is smooth sailing
if sf was going down it be done by now ++++. now we got the biggy
that be Mobile Trust, if they dont f-k it up this is going to be the de facto mobile security product on the market for the next 10 yr if
if they get it to work. if all things work out looking at .05-.10
that it no dollar stock thats BS. PS I LOVE CIROC VODKA DONT FORGET THAT SF. SEE YA SOON
please dont lecture be on mafioso its in my DNA brooklyn that is.
i added another 5 mill shares taday. see what goes tomor.
maybe 10 mill more by end of week
and criminals im not kidding cant name them, ill be killed or sued.
we have element of mob finance. a very high % of penny stock
are linked to syndicate finance thats a fact.
strikeforce is organized crime penny scam. just look at linkedin
see who they deal with syndicate mob finance greaseballs.
ill probably be fish food for letting the cat out.
first the bump .02-.05 then r/s
history repeats always.
patents/lawsuits,more patents/lawsuits
are we headed down the path to become the biggest penny scam in the history of penny scams? defies logic
Joe im not the one who keeps. Saying sf is not a real company
But the fact is there not bringing. In enough revenue. So the need money
Many investors. Dont lend with amount of stock out thats a fact
No way is that good
At this price we may see R/S
I agree 100% the GD has limited. Application interferes with to many
Software apps including gaming. The best. Way to use it is in conjunction with oob auth. When you navigate to a site ( bank )
GD kicks in. I just got back from. San fran the technology is changing
rapidly. oob auth is the big thing for now however Microsoft. Is now the
Big boy on the block
Thank you
it gets down to strikeforce should not be struggling like this.
bad management will destroy a company no matter how good the technology. look at authentify and phonefactor both have been
very successful with contracts and marketing. if strikeforce goes down its because of management not product. they never had a good marketing strategy. you companies with one product keystroke encryption doing better then SF.( they need a management change).
joe
in this stock since 2006. i seen and heard all kinds of contract
news including homeland security/ red cross the two biggies.
gone through R/S, losing contracts ie authentify, phonefactor,
so on and so on. ya i want to make some money back so i play it
for multi outcomes. had a little hope early this yr that gone.
without patent infrg.its over for them . stock gets more diluted every day with no major contract just lots of talk.
so one way or another we will get a pump even if the ship sinks.
mark and company will suck the green back just to the gray area.
either way 5 to 10 cent price is about all we get.(MAYBE)
PS MY FINGER IS ON THE TRIGGER
I MAY PICK UP 5 MILL SHARES THIS WEEK.

Microsoft protects cloud with directory-integrated two-factor authentication
Active Authentication uses phones to improve security for hosted apps

IDG News Service - Microsoft is upping the security on Azure with Active Authentication, a new service now in preview which allows enterprises to secure access to hosted applications such as Office 365 with two-factor authentication.
Active Authentication enables two-factor authentication for users stored on the Azure-based version Active Directory, and helps secure access to Office 365, Windows Azure, Windows Intune and Dynamics CRM Online, as well as other apps that are integrated with the hosted directory service.
Developers can also use the Active Authentication development kit to build two-factor authentication into their custom applications and directories.
Active Authentication works by adding an extra step to the sign-in process. After an employee, partner or customer has entered their username and password, they are required to also authenticate with the Active Authentication app on their smartphone or via an automated phone call or text message.
More advanced authentication has become a hot topic during recent months thanks to high-profile security breaches, like the theft of passwords that allowed hackers to get access to the Associated Press' Twitter account. The extra step reduces the risk of a breach, according to Microsoft.
Like many hosted services, Microsoft pitches Active Authentication as easy to set up and manage, as well as very scalable. IT staff can activate the service by adding it to their Azure Active Directory tenant and turn it on for users.
Active Authentication is based on Microsoft's acquisition of PhoneFactor, a deal announced last October.
During the preview, the service will cost $1 per user and month or $1 for every 10 authentications. The prices represent a 50% discount off Microsoft's anticipated prices when Active Authentication becomes generally available.

WHITESKY, INC.,
Defendant.
Civil Action No. 13-1895 (SRC)
OPINION
CHESLER, District Judge
This matter comes before the Court upon the motion filed by Plaintiff StrikeForce
Technologies, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “StrikeForce”)for a preliminary injunction against Defendant
WhiteSky, Inc. (“Defendant” or “WhiteSky”) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65.
WhiteSky has opposed the motion. The Court has considered the papers filed by the parties,
including a sur-reply brief submitted by WhiteSky in further opposition to the motion. It
proceeds to rule on the motion based on the papers submitted and without oral argument,
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 78. For the reasons expressed below, the Court
denies StrikeForce’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
I. BACKGROUND
StrikeForce, based in New Jersey, is a leading provider of anti-keylogging sof
joe 1st- guardedid is not compatible with some software
gaming is a big problem do a google search( comcast/ guardedid )
the issue was never resolved. losing 5mill downloads not good for sf.
2- keystroke encryption is not all the same you need to read the
tech notes. sf will not get infringement on GD. completely
different ways to encrypt keystrokes.
on oob auth thats different like i stated before there are
only two ways, THE STRIKEFORCE WAY AND THE AUTHENTIFY WAY.
im not 100% but i believe phonefactor claims a centralized oob auth
thats strikeforce.
ps i added another million shares to my worthless collection
of sf stock. ill have enough toilet paper to wipe the rest of my life.
After loosing. 5 mill downloads
Need a whole. Lot of bs pr
5 mill. downloads gone, biggest contract the had, whitesky went
with another keystroke encryption why? to many problems with guardedid that sf couldnt work out.
strikeforce vs whitesky
strikeforce lost the case and Guardedid is no longer part of comcast
aint that nice, now we know why no revenue was down. sf management
is a ship of fools. i said it before i say it again need new blood
sell the GD COMPANY.
