Abstract: A system, method and a network architecture for facilitating remote care therapy via secure communication channels between clinicians and patients having one or more IMDs, wherein certain unique information retrieved from an IMD is used in association with an encryption key infrastructure system for establishing trusted relationships between a clinician device, a patient's device and the patient's IMD. A cloud-based remote care session manager is provided for registering and validating the clinician and patent devices based on the IMD data used as trust indicia. In one embodiment, trusted associations between the devices are only established when the devices in close proximity of each other, e.g., in an in-person setting.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securing an unattended computer. The systems and methods provide an additional layer of security for computer systems by using network presence sensing (NPS) to detect the presence or absence of a user physically present at a computer system and if an authorized user is detected as having departed, taking a security action in response. The response may be to lock the computer, encrypted sensitive data, and so forth. The concept may also be applied at a facilities level, in computing pools, and in other instances physical presence or absence of a user at a computer is indicative of a need for a change in system state. This change could be security related, or could pertain to other resources.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system are provided for determining displacement information for a radio node. In a method respective position information is obtained that is indicative of a position of a respective radio node. The method determines the position of the respective radio node based on respective radio measurements of further respective radio nodes surrounding the respective radio node and on further respective radio measurements gathered by the respective radio node. The respective signals are sent by the one or more respective radio nodes surrounding the respective radio node. The method also determines displacement information based on the respective position information that is obtained and the determined position of the respective radio node. The displacement information is indicative of a displacement of the respective radio node if the determined position of the respective radio node differs from the position of the respective radio node represented by the obtained position information.

Abstract: A system and method for rapid check-in and inheriting trust using a user entity device. The system and method described herein allows an identity to be continuously proven because of user entity's behavior and their biometrics. With all the fraud and risk that exists today, if someone has a user entity's driver's license they can do a lot of harm. By tying a user entity's identity to their user entity device (e.g., a mobile smartphone), then when a user entity checks into a location (e.g., airport, hotel, bank), an identity provider continues a process of continuous authentication while the user entity device travels about a location and interacts with the services offered by the location.
