Abstract: A method for controlling the authentication of a user by an authentication device, the authentication being implemented by verification, by the authentication device, that a code entered by the user on an interaction interface of the authentication device corresponds to a predetermined code associated with the user is disclosed. A signal representative of a radio signal characteristic of an interaction of the user on the interaction interface of the authentication device is received by the user's terminal. The radio signal is transmitted by an antenna of the authentication device via a channel using electromagnetic wave conduction capacities of the user's body when the user enters the code. It is verified that the radio signal corresponds to a previously stored reference signal, and, in the event of a positive verification, a piece of data representative of the user's identity is transmitted to the authentication device for verification with the user's identity.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed including receiving an electronic access request to add a secondary electronic profile of a secondary user to a primary electronic profile of a primary user. A processor generates and sends a first security challenge to the primary user and a secondary security challenge to the secondary user. The processor receives a response from the primary user in response to the first security challenge and a response from the secondary user in response to the secondary security challenge. The processor authenticates the electronic access request based on the first response being a valid response and the secondary response being a valid response. The processor generates the secondary electronic profile as a nested profile within the primary electronic profile. The processor instructs the primary user device or the secondary user device to display a confirmation of the secondary user being added to the primary electronic profile.

Abstract: Techniques for redirecting a client device from a server to a mini-server are disclosed herein. Initially, the client device establishes a connection with the server. The server provides a landing page to the client device, where the landing page is programmed to include an element that, when selected, redirects the client device away from its connection with the server. In response to a selection of the element, the client device establishes a connection with the mini-server. The mini-server is part of a first local area network (LAN), and, as a result of switching networks, the client device is now a part of a second LAN. The two LANs are connected to one another via a network bridge. The mini-server is able to receive input from the client device and synchronize that input across other mini-servers in the first LAN in order to redundantly store the input.

Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed provide a distributed caching solution that improve the performance and functionality of a content management platform for sites that are physically or logically remote from the primary site of the content management platform.
