Abstract: A system for ongoing multifactor authentication is provided. The system includes a computer device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one memory device includes computer instructions that cause the at least one processor to a) instruct a computer device to conduct a multifactor authentication of a user; calculate an authentication level for the user based upon the multifactor authentication of the user; b) continually monitor one or more actions of the user to determine additional authentication data; c) update the authentication level for the user based upon the additional authentication data; d) receive a request from the user to access a first content; e) access an authentication profile for the first content; f) compare the authentication profile to the updated authentication level for the user; and g) determine whether to grant access to the first content based upon the comparison.

Abstract: A privacy proxy device for maintaining privacy on a communication network is provided. The privacy proxy device includes a transceiver, a processor, and a memory. The transceiver communicates with at least one user device and at least one device capable of recording over a communication medium of the communication network. The memory store computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the privacy proxy device to store a plurality of privacy settings including one or more recording settings. The instructions further cause the privacy proxy device to receive a request to record from a recording device of the at least one device capable of recording. The instructions also cause the privacy proxy device to compare the request to record to the plurality of privacy settings. In addition, the instructions cause the privacy proxy device to generate and transmit a response to the request to record based on the comparison.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically determining an optimal baseline algorithm for calculating lift values are disclosed. The system receives data associated with a control strategy, and then randomly selects a control location, a time period, and an item that may not be associated with the control strategy but meets the one or more criteria of the control strategy such as relevance and sales volume. Using the randomly selected inputs and a plurality of null baselines values determined by a plurality of null baseline algorithms, the system iteratively calculates a plurality of null lift values for each of the applied plurality of null baselines values to determine a likelihood for a false positive lift for each of the applied plurality of null baselines values. An optimal baseline algorithm is selected from the plurality of null baselines algorithms based on their corresponding likelihood of false positive lifts.

Abstract: An authenticating system and process for authenticating user devices to a access a service where access to certain portions of the service may be limited according to a access point or other device used by a user device to facilitate interfacing a user with the service. The authentication may be achieved without directly assessing a trustworthiness of the user devices, and optionally, without requiring a user thereof to complete a sign-on operation.

Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring the status of a consumable good transferred from a first consumer to a second consumer. The system includes a first consumer device capable of acquiring an identifier from the consumable good, a storage subsystem configured to store one or more encrypted data files, an electronic network configured to transmit the acquired identifier from the first consumer device to the storage subsystem, and a second consumer device capable of acquiring the identifier from the consumable good and transmitting the acquired identifier to the storage subsystem. The storage subsystem is further configured to (i) store the acquired identifier from the first consumer device in a first encrypted data file (ii) store the acquired identifier from the second consumer device in a second encrypted data file, and (iii) delete or move the first encrypted data file upon creation of the second encrypted data file.
