METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF USER IDENTIFICATION IN SUBAREAS OF NETWORK AREA Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G06F15/16 

FIELD: physics, computer technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns identification, particularly delimiting user access to subareas of network area. Effect of enhancement of network system resistance to unauthorised actions of malicious users intercepting cookie files is achieved by the use of first cookie file for identification in network area, such as World Wide Web domain, and use of second cookie file for identification in subarea of network area. When a user attempts to access network area or subarea, network area server identifies the user by obtaining pre-stored cookie file from user computer and checking the file validity for network area. After identification by validity check a cookie file for subarea of network area is generated for the user and sent to the user computer. When a user attempts to access subarea of network area, the cookie file sent to the user computer for the subarea is received and checked for validity in order to identify user for the subarea.

EFFECT: enhanced resistance of network system to unauthorised actions of malicious users.
