Publication number: 20190199707Abstract: A system and method for using a Service-Provider password to simulate F-SSO functionality. A processor receives from an F-SSO Identity Provider authentication data for a user who has requested access to a secured service. The service is managed by an F-SSO Service Provider that does not offer F-SSO functionality for that service. Upon receiving the data, the processor redirects the user to an SU-F-SSO portal of the Service Provider, which uses the received authentication data to authenticate the user. The processor sends the user an on-demand password and, when the user uses that password to sign on, the processor matches the entered password with a stored copy of the password that was sent to the user. If they match, the processor grants the user access to the requested service. In some embodiments, the on-demand password may be a single-use password or may be sent to the user via an out-of-band communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2019Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Heather M. Hinton, Kelly Malone

Patent number: 10333927Abstract: A system and method for using a single-use password to add SSO functionality to a service of a Service Provider belonging to an F-SSO federation that does not support F-SSO functionality for the service. In response to receiving notification from an Identity Provider that a user has requested access to the service, the Service Provider uses information provided by the Identity Provider to identify and authenticate the user, and then uses standard API calls to create and send a temporary password to the user. This password may be created as a function of the user's physical location or IP address and may be communicated out-of-band. Upon determining that the user has correctly returned the temporary password to the Service Provider, the Service Provider generates and sends the user a strong single-use password through a secure in-band communication, through which the user may access the service.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Heather M.

Patent number: 10144275Abstract: Embodiments for environmental control of a vehicle by a processor. An environmental change in the vehicle is predictively anticipated by monitoring at least one environmental factor over time. In response to the predicted environmental change, a physical change is caused in a constituent portion of an assembly inclusive of an external surface of the vehicle, which when activated compensates for the predicted environmental change.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Cynthia H.
