Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing vendors an alternative to a password-based security system. The system and method also allows vendors to manage secure transactions by leveraging various message authentication techniques while allowing the vendor full control over related processes such as payment processing and fulfillment. The system and method also monitors message requests from customers for the vendor to guarantee that the communication has not been compromised. Consolidating the authentication of users to their messaging minimizes the need for each individual vendor to maintain their own password for access to a customer account. This eliminates the requirement that customers generate a password thus increasing convenience and decreasing security risks associated with the use of passwords. This decreases risk not only for customer and vendor but also decreases the risk exposure across the internet-as the system scales.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method and system for distribution of computational capacity for a plurality of end-devices in different localities using a decentralized edge architecture. The method and system clusters a plurality of moving nodes capable of offering highly virtualized computational and storage resources utilizing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model. The clustering is performed by utilizing two prediction models: a mobility prediction model and a theoretical framework. The mobility prediction model learns timing and direction of movements such as mobility patterns of each of the plurality of moving nodes, as to ascertain computational capacity for the given locale at a certain time. The theoretical framework performs sequential to parallel conversion in learning, optimization and caching algorithms of the AI model under contingent circumstances.
