  • Publication number: 20220247647
    Abstract: A plurality of flow logs associated with a plurality of computing units are aggregated. For each flow event included in the plurality of flow logs a corresponding namespace with which the flow event is associated is determined including by determining a corresponding intermediary associated with the flow event. A network traffic map that visualizes network traffic between a plurality of namespaces is generated based in part on the determined intermediaries associated with the flow events.

  • Patent number: 10523670
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for determining an electromagnetic signature for authenticating a device, a user, and/or a location. In exemplary embodiments, a magnetometer captures an electromagnetic signature which is then compared with one or more authorized electromagnetic signatures. If the electromagnetic signature matches an authorized electromagnetic signature, then access is granted. The magnetometer is integrated into a communication device having a processor and a logic. The magnetometer captures an electromagnetic signature of a surrounding environment and detects motion of the communication device through the captured electromagnetic signature. The logic on the communication device locks or unlocks features of the device based upon the captured electromagnetic signature. In further embodiments of the subject disclosure, the magnetometer is in communication with a server which authenticates a user or communication device to provide access to a remote location.

  • Publication number: 20170347237
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining semantic travel modes are provided. In one embodiment, a method can include obtaining a plurality of location reports from a user device. Each of the plurality of location reports can include at least a set of data indicative of an associated location and time. The method can further include determining a travel period associated with the user device based on the plurality of location reports. The method can include obtaining one or more personalization signals that include a set of data associated with a semantic travel mode. The method can include determining that the user device is associated with the semantic travel mode during the travel period based at least in part on the plurality of location reports and the one or more personalization signals.

  • Publication number: 20170016975
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a user context based on one or more wireless signals. In particular, location data can be determined by a user device. The user device can then detect beacon data broadcast by a first set of beacon devices, and subsequent to detecting the first beacon data, second beacon data broadcast by a second set of beacon devices. The location data can be compared with the first beacon data and the second beacon data to determine a user context. In particular, a context can be determined based at least in part on whether the location data is indicative of a changing location of a user, and whether the second beacon data corresponds to a change in beacon data from the first beacon data.

  • Patent number: 8873755
    Abstract: Wireless devices in proximity are securely paired with one another autonomously by generating a common cryptographic key directly from a time-varying wireless environment shared among the wireless devices. The shared key can be used by the wireless devices to authenticate each wireless device's physical proximity and then to facilitate confidential communication between the wireless devices. The algorithm used to create the shared key is secure against a computationally unbounded adversary and its computational complexity is linear in the size of the shared key.

  • Publication number: 20140098141
    Abstract: Data entry using a software keyboard such as a touchscreen keyboard is secured by varying key sizes in the keyboard from key to key and from software keyboard configuration to software keyboard configuration, decoupling display locations from keys. Multiple software keyboard configurations are generated, each having different sets of key sizes. The keyboard configuration may be changed with each keystroke, or may be changed for each prompted entry including multiple keystrokes.
