Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to receiving a software package deployed to a device, identifying, according to the software package, at least one feature to be provided to the device, determining whether the software package comprises a verified cryptographic signature, and in response to determining that the software package comprises the verified cryptographic signature, activating a component of the software package to provide the at least one feature to the device from an external service

Abstract: In some examples, a computing device can include a processor resource and a non-transitory memory resource storing machine-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the processor resource to: send, by a first service, a first signal to a first resource that is separated by a network security solution utilizing a first communication path, send, by a second service, the first signal with a first payload to a second resource that is separated by the network security solution utilizing a second communication path, receive, by the second service, a second signal with a second payload from the second resource through the second communication path in response to the first signal, and send, by the second service, instructions related to the second payload to the first service to execute the instructions.

Abstract: A system and method to biometrically authenticate multifunction peripheral (MFP) users is disclosed. To prevent abuse by unauthorized use, a biometric image is obtained by scanning a user's fingerprint. In some implementations, the user may be prompted for a user name. The system retrieves at least one biometric key for comparison to the biometric image, in some cases using the user name to facilitate location of the biometric key. Where the comparison indicates a match, the user is allowed access to the MFP and resources on the network in a manner consistent with a policy, such as allowing the user the same permissions as would be the case if the user logged on to the network via the user's workstation. Accordingly, the user has the benefit of access to the MFP, while the network security is maintained.
