Handling of website messages

摘要

Mechanisms for handling website messages (e.g., website certificate warnings and/or errors), while combating website users ignoring such messages (sometimes referred to as “click-through syndrome”) are provided. Such mechanisms may comprise providing an interface for handling website messages (e.g., website certificate warnings and/or errors) based on a dynamic policy. In one example, such a dynamic policy may comprise: identifying a first trusted user; monitoring website access by the first trusted user; presenting the first trusted user with a first website message based upon a first access by the first trusted user to a first website; capturing a first response by the first trusted user to the first website message; and utilizing the first response of the first trusted user as a model for subsequent access to the first website.

主权项

1. A method implemented in a computer system for processing website messages, the method comprising:
receiving, by the computer system, an identification of a first user; monitoring, by the computer system, access to a first website by the first user; presenting, by the computer system, a first message from the first website to the first user after a first access by the first user to the first website; capturing, by the computer system, a first response to the first message by the first user; monitoring, by the computer system, access to a second website by the first user, wherein the first website is distinct from the second website; and processing, by the computer system, at least a second message from the second website to the first user after a first access by the first user to the second website; wherein the processing of the second message to the first user is based at least in part upon the first response to the first message by the first user; wherein the method further comprises: receiving, by the computer system, an identification of a second user; monitoring, by the computer system, access to the first website by the second user; and processing, by the computer system, at least a third message from the first website to the second user after a first access by the second user to the first website; wherein the processing of the third message to the second user is based at least in part upon the first response to the first message by the first user; wherein the first response is an instruction to ignore the first message; and wherein the processing of the third message is based at least in part upon the first response, wherein the third message is prevented from being presented to the second user.
