Abstract: At least one aspect is directed to improving the performance of real-time verification of online identity. The issuer computing system can receive a request to generate a composite token, the composite token configured to authorize certain verifying parties to authenticate a first-party token comprising information about a client. The issuer can generate a composite token using cryptographic keys and distribute it to the client, who can distribute it to other content item networks. The verifying parties can receive the composite token from the content item networks, use a cryptographic key verify the authenticity of the token corresponding to the client device, and use the token to further process content item operations. The system can distribute the cryptographic keys prior to the generation and verification of the composite token, and as such allow the parties to verify the composite token in real-time without contacting outside verification parties.

Abstract: An aspect of managing data block compression in a storage system includes performing, for each block written to the storage system: bit-wise traversing the block, searching the block for a pattern indicating a repeating sequence of bits and, upon determining the pattern exists in the block and the repeating sequence of bits in the pattern exceeds a threshold value, removing the repeating sequence of bits from the block thereby yielding a reduced-size block.

Abstract: Two factor identification verification of controlled-environment facility residents and associated non-residents systems and methods capture, via a controlled-environment facility associated communications device, by a controlled-environment facility communications processing system, a first type of biometric sample of a user. The controlled-environment facility communications processing system submits the first type of biometric sample of the user to a centralized investigative data aggregation and analysis system, which verifies the user using the first type of biometric sample and determining. When the system(s) determine that a certainty of this resulting verification of the user does not meet a predetermined certainty threshold a second type of biometric sample of the user is captured and submitted for verification of the user.

Abstract: A methodology and apparatus for providing casino game signage for a casino game which incorporates display information that is dynamically interchangeable between game specific and game non-specific information responsive to automatic detection of game play status at the game table.
