Abstract: Embodiments relate to computing systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media. Identifier collisions are determined in historical event data based on short identifiers associated with a first event location and short identifiers associated with a second event location geographically dispersed from the first event location. Behavior analytics are performed on short identifiers in the historical event data to generate behavioral models associated with the short identifiers. Adjusted behavioral models are generated based on the determined identifier collisions. A short identifier is obtained from a client device, and based on the short identifier, an adjusted behavioral model of the adjusted behavioral models is determined. An expected event frequency is determined based on the adjusted behavioral model and an actual event frequency is determined.

Abstract: A server may perform server side authentication of a user device. The user device may generate a first authentication string by performing a hash function on a username, a password, and a first salt. The first authentication string may be registered with the server for subsequent login attempts. At login, the user device generates the first authentication string and transmits the first authentication string to the server. When the authentication strings match, the user device is authenticated. The user device may also update the first authentication string. The server may provide the first salt and a second salt to the user device. The user device may generate a first authentication string and a second authentication string from the first salt and the second salt, respectively. When the first authentication strings match, the server may update the user device's authentication string by replacing it with the second authentication string.

Abstract: A partially dissolvable plug is to be deployed in a position in a wellbore formed in a subsurface formation. The partially dissolvable plug comprises a first portion comprising a dissolvable material that is to dissolve over time after exposure to a downhole ambient environment in the wellbore and a second portion comprising a non-dissolvable material that is to create a flow restriction as the flow of fluid passes through the partially dissolvable plug.
