  • Patent number: 9942750
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method to decrypt an encrypted account credential at a second device that is received from a first device. The second device may receive a first share of a master key and the encrypted account credential from the first device. The second device may reconstruct the master key with the first share of the master key and a second share of the master key stored at the second device. The second device may decrypt the encrypted account credential with the reconstructed master key. Based upon the decrypted account credential, the second device may be enabled to access an account based upon the decrypted account credential.

  • Patent number: 9578508
    Abstract: System, apparatus, and methods are provided for protecting against malicious infrastructure in a wireless communication network. A system determines a trust metric for an access point and decides to avoid communication with the access point based on the trust metric for the access point. The trust metric may, for example, be a numeric value such as a probability of trustworthiness or a categorization of trustworthiness. The system may determine the trust metric by receiving a list of access points and their corresponding trust metrics and matching a potential access point to its listed trust metric. The system may try to avoid using an untrustworthy access point's services unless it deems the services important enough to risk the communication.

  • Patent number: 8774761
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for a mobile device to detect unexpected behavior associated with the mobile device. The mobile device may include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to monitor at least one of physical conditions and/or device actions associated with the mobile device. If a call or a data transmission is requested, the processor may be configured to compare the monitored physical conditions and/or device actions to an anomaly threshold value and may execute an anomaly exception routine if the anomaly threshold value is exceeded.
