Abstract: Execution of an obfuscation application may cause a computing device to translate bits of a hashed value according to a sparse bit selection pattern, the sparse bit pattern including a translation of bits of the hashed value into reordered bit unit groupings sized according to a numeric base of a digit cypher; and generate an obfuscated value using the translated bit unit groupings of the hashed value as indices into the digit cypher, the digit cypher including a mapping of the indices to output values in the numeric base. The obfuscation application may further cause the device to receive a target value to be obfuscated in data records received from a data source, hash the target value using a hashing module to create the hashed value, in some cases truncate the hashed value, and replace the target value in the data records with the obfuscated value.

Abstract: A device and method of capturing one or more images and determining associated interest information are provided. After receiving a data input, an item is identified based on the data input. Subsequently, an instruction to capture an image of the item is received and the image of the item is captured in response thereto. An interest level of the item is measured based on a quantity of times that the image of the item is captured and the interest information is then provided to a server device. The interest information may be used to identify an interest level trend of the item, and/or create or update a user profile that stores information regarding the item.

Abstract: The method, system and device examples provide for a mobile device biometric authentication that authenticates an application user via a biometric input, and thereby reduce the need to enter complex user credentials into a mobile device to gain access to a mobile application. The examples leverage the biometric recognition operations managed by the operating system of the mobile device to allow a mobile application to authenticate the user as a valid user of the mobile application. In an example, a successfully unlocking of a mobile device via a biometric input from a user is used by the mobile application to perform an authentication operation with assistance from an authentication server to authenticate the user of the mobile device as a valid user of the mobile application. As a result, the mobile application grants access to the mobile application based on the user's biometric input.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor, a memory, an embedded element storing information, and a short-range radio controller. The embedded element is readable by an external reader. The short-range radio controller is configured to receive a radio communication.
