Pomcor is the registered trade name of Pomian and Corella, LLC, a company founded by Karen Pomian Lewison and Francisco Corella.
Pomcor is a small independent research and development organization working on several areas of Web technology.
We are the creators of Noflail Search, a multisearch engine with advanced user interface features including zero-result analysis, a cross-engine search history that makes it possible to browse multiple result sets at once, and a novel method of browsing a real-time result set that changes as it is being browsed.
We have completed an NSF-funded project, obtaining results related to real-time search and federated authorization.
We are building an intellectual property portfolio, which now includes 2 patents and 4 non-provisional patent applications in the areas of search technology and Web security.
In the area of Internet identity, we have proposed ways of overcoming the drawbacks of OAuth for security and freedom of choice, and examined the practical pros and cons of privacy-enhancing cryptographic credentials.
Pomcor is a 2010 graduate of the San Diego CONNECT Springboard program.
