Patent number: 11153304Abstract: A central authentication service is for authentication of a user operating a computing device requesting access to a service provider. The central authentication service stores a universal group that includes principals from different types of identity providers, with the user of the computing device included as one of the principals. An access token generated by an identity provider associated with the computing device is received by the central authentication service. The central authentication service generates a universal token that includes group membership information for the universal group, and exchanges the access token with the universal token. The universal token is provided to the service provider, with the group membership information on the universal token to allow the service provider to determine if the user of the computing device has permission to access desired services.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: Tian Fan

Patent number: 11068610Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for securing content. Aspects include accessing, by a first user device, content, wherein the content includes a security profile associated with the content. The content is displayed on a display for the first user device. An input is received by the first user device. The input is analyzed to determine that the input is in compliance with the security profile associated with the content and based at least in part on determining the input is not in compliance with the security profile associated with the content, a portion of the content is transmitted to a second user device.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Eric V.

Patent number: 11050759Abstract: A communication device includes a directional antenna, and a control circuit. The directional antenna has a directional radiation pattern for directing greater power of a transmitted signal in a specific direction. The control circuit is coupled to the directional antenna and determines an angle and a distance to another device. Based on the determined distance and angle to the another device, the control circuit selects a security level from a plurality of security levels for communication between the device and the another device. In another embodiment, a method for transmitting data between the first and second devices is provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Arnaud Pignorel, Christophe Lombardo, Claude Caron, Nguyen Trieu Luan Le
