Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system that implements a model for automatic discovery and identification of a person who is most relevant to handle a notification generated for a resource based on a triggered event. The model accesses an activity log for the resource to identify operations that are relevant to a type of the event. The operations are performed by different users (e.g., owners of the shared resource). The model then calculates an operation relevance score for each of the operations and a user relevance score for each of the different users. The user relevance scores are used to identify a most relevant person from the different users. Contact information for the most relevant person (e.g., name, email address, phone number) is added to the notification so that a person that first views the notification can efficiently forward the notification to the person best positioned to deal with the event.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for enhancing security access to a data processing system. Responsive to authenticating a first factor of the multi-factor authentication by matching a scanned fingerprint/thumbprint of a user to at least one previously scanned fingerprint/thumbprint in a set of previously scanned fingerprints/thumbprints, a determination is made as to whether a touch pressure level exerted by the user on a touch pressure sensor associated with the data processing system matches at least one previously stored touch pressure level in a set of previously stored touch pressure levels. Responsive to matching the touch pressure level exerted by the user to a previously stored touch pressure level in the set of previously stored touch pressure levels, a second factor of the multi-factor authentication is authenticated. Access is then granted for the user to the data processing system.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to providing authentication and confidentiality mechanisms for message communication over an in-vehicle network. For example, authentication data associated with a communicating node may be transmitted over the network by encoding different predefined voltage levels on top of the message bits of the message being communicated. Different voltage levels may represent different encodings, such as a bit-pair or any bit combination of the authentication data. In a further example, messaging confidentiality between at least two communicating nodes may be achieved by pseudo-randomly flipping, or scrambling, the dominant and recessive voltages of the entire message frame at the analog level based on a pseudo-random control bit sequence.

Abstract: A device and method providing audio-based, continuous authentication of a user to provide access to a processing device. A user echoprint model is created while a user interacts with an authentication interface for another authentication method of the device, transparently to the user. The sound waves are user-specific and inaudible. The user-specific sounds are reflected by the user and used to construct an echoprint which can be compared by a previously constructed user-specific, echoprint model. If the result is positive, access to the processing device may be allowed. Access to the processing device is based on the audio authentication or the alternative authentication is based on the result of audio authentication and updates a device state indicating whether the display is on or off and whether the device is locked or unlocked.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media and devices are disclosed for storing content from an endpoint device in a network cache. For example, a processor receives a security policy for the endpoint device defining a type of content for storing in the network cache, and determines that traffic from the endpoint device includes content of the content type for storing in the network cache. When it is determined that the traffic includes the content of the content type for storing in the network cache, the processor instantiates the network cache, stores the content in the network cache, and sends a notification to a designated device. The notification includes at least one parameter associated with the content. The processor further receives a decision from the designated device and performs a task regarding the content in response to the decision.
