Abstract: A method and system for user authentication through mobility traces comprising: retrieving and processing (401, 411) data records stored in a network events database (14), the data records comprising data of one or more interactions (101) of the user with at least one network element (12) through a mobile device (11) of the user, a timestamp (T) associated with the recorded interactions, a unique identifier of the mobile device (11), a unique identifier of the user and a unique identifier of the network element (12); computing (103) at least one network interaction track, NIT, by using the retrieved data; using the at least one computed NIT (402, 412) to obtain an authentication result, e.g., based on a computed authentication probability (Pi), indicating either a success or a failure of the user authentication to be returned to a third-party service provider (21) requesting the user authentication status check (202, 302).

Abstract: A method and system for providing identity and authentication to a data-generation device is disclosed. The method comprises the provision, by a computing platform, of a beacon for a data-generation device, said beacon including an identification code and providing the data-generation device with connection and security functions; activating, by means of the computing platform, the data-generation device by using and verifying a physical access challenge; verifying, by means of the beacon, a state of activation of the data-generation device by using the identification code; providing, by means of the computing platform, a digital certificate to the beacon; and sending, by means of the beacon, a security verification to the platform, such that the data-generation device can securely establish future communications with remote computer equipment.

Abstract: A method and computer programs for detecting document regions that will be excluded from a watermark embedding process are disclosed. The method comprises converting, by an adapter module, at least one page of a received document into a visual representation thereof, the visual representation keeping the position of the characters of the at least one page; receiving, by a text detector, the visual representation; processing, by the text detector, the visual representation using one or more artificial intelligence algorithms, and returning a list of invalid regions with their associated page positions as a result, wherein each invalid region of the list of invalid regions may have associated thereto a confidence score; and using, by a watermark embedding module or by a watermark extracting module, the list of invalid regions to provide a watermarked document or a message embedded in the document.

Abstract: It is proposed a method and system to improve the security of electronic messages exchange between two or more users. The proposed electronic messaging mechanism allows guaranteeing the integrity of a message exchange (i.e., no message has been added, modified, reordered, nor removed from the message exchange), as well as its non-repudiation (i.e., users are univocally associated with the message exchange and cannot deny being authors of the messages they sent), using a local or external blockchain.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method, device and system for protecting the connection to a wireless network (a WiFi network) by users of electronic communications devices, even the first time the user device connects to the network. The proposed method, device and system provides an improved security when connecting to a WiFi network, avoiding attacks that may jeopardize the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of WiFi users and WiFi infrastructure. In the proposed solution, the network will be certified by the user device before connecting to an access point for accessing the wireless network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the detection of malicious software in electronic documents and comprises: detecting an executable code in the electronic document provided to a client module; extracting information from the electronic document comprising the executable code and metadata of the electronic document; creating a binary vector associated with the electronic document; comparing, in a classifier module (200), the binary vector with one or more groups of vectors previously classified and stored in a database (400); classifying the vector in one of the groups, where each group has associated therewith a verdict about the presence of malicious software; and determining that the document contains malicious software depending on the verdict associated with the group in which its associated vector has been classified.
