Abstract: Security policies are made dependent on location of a device and the location of a device is determined and the appropriate security policy applied without providing the device's location to a server. A device determine its location and identifies a security policy identifier mapped to a zone including the location. The device requests the security policy corresponding to the identifier from a server and implements it. The device may also store a database of the security policies and implement them according to its location. Devices registered for a user evaluate whether locations detected for the devices correspond to impossible travel by the user. Objects encoding geolocation data of a device may be encrypted with a private key of the device and the public key of another to prevent access by an intermediary server.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to memory devices including a single-level cell (SLC) block storing data for migration to multiple multi-level cell (MLC) blocks. In some implementations, a memory device includes multiple MLC blocks that include MLCs, with each MLC being capable of storing at least four bits of data, and multiple SLC blocks that can store data prior to the data being written to one of the MLC blocks. Each SLC block may be capable of storing different data sets that are destined for storage in different MLC blocks. The memory device may include a mapping component that can store a mapping table that includes multiple entries, in which an entry indicates a mapping between a memory location in the SLC blocks and a corresponding MLC block for which data stored in the memory location is destined. Numerous other implementations are described.
