Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for incorporating a watermark in an audio output. An embedded browser, which is executable on one or more processors of a client device, may detect an audio data stream from a network application accessed via the embedded browser. A watermarking engine of the embedded browser intercepts the audio data stream responsive to detecting the audio data stream. The watermarking engine incorporates a digital signal corresponding to a watermark into the audio data stream, prior to being produced as an audio output by an audio speaker. The watermarking engine causes the watermark to be present in the audio output produced by the audio speaker, the watermark configured to be inaudible by a human and recordable by an audio recording device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a single sign-on for authenticating a user via multiple client devices in a distributed resource environment are provided. For example, the system includes a processor that receives a first connection request to a remote resource from an untrusted client device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing reliable switching between different transport protocols (e.g., TCP and UDP) are presented herein. In some embodiments, a computing platform may stop transmission over a transport protocol. Subsequently, the computing platform may synchronize buffers between a client and a host. For example, the buffer may include acknowledgments for undelivered reliable packets between the client and the host. Next, the computing platform may resume transmission over a different transport protocol. In some embodiments, when establishing an initial connection between a client and a host, connections may be attempted in parallel over multiple transport protocols. After a connection over a first transport protocol is established, if a connection is later established over a second transport protocol, the connection may be transitioned to the second transport protocol. Also, ticketing semantics may be preserved in the switch between the different transport protocols.
