==Page Integrity Assurance - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240039925 titled 'Page Integrity Assurance

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and systems for authenticating web content. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* A request to authenticate web content is received from a user device.
* The web content is represented by a first Document Object Model (DOM) tree, which organizes the elements of the web content in a hierarchical structure.
* A hash value is calculated for each node of the first DOM tree based on the corresponding element of the web content.
* A second DOM tree, representing predefined elements of the web content, is retrieved from a database.
* The hash value calculated for each node of the first DOM tree is compared with a hash value associated with a corresponding node of the second DOM tree.
* If the hash values match, the first DOM tree is considered to match the second DOM tree, and the web content is authenticated.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Web content authentication for online platforms and websites.
* Protection against unauthorized modifications or tampering of web content.
* Ensuring the integrity and authenticity of web content in e-commerce, online banking, and other sensitive applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Preventing unauthorized modifications to web content, which can help maintain trust and security.
* Detecting any tampering or malicious changes made to web content.
* Providing a reliable method to verify the authenticity of web content.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced security and trust in online platforms and websites.
* Protection against unauthorized modifications or tampering of web content.
* Efficient and reliable authentication of web content using hash values.
* Potential to prevent fraud and unauthorized access to sensitive information.




==Original Abstract Submitted==

methods and systems are presented for authenticating web content. a request to authenticate web content is received from a user device. a first document object model (dom) tree representing elements of the web content within a hierarchical structure is accessed. a hash value for each node of the first dom tree is calculated based on the corresponding element of the web content represented by that node. a second dom tree associated with a host of the web content is retrieved from a database. the second dom tree represents predefined elements of the web content. the hash value calculated for each node of the first dom tree is compared with a hash value associated with a corresponding node of the second dom tree to determine whether the first dom tree matches the second dom tree. the web content is authenticated when the first dom tree matches the second dom tree.
