Abstract: A method for managing sessions with an application server via an identity management system is described. The method may include receiving, via an application protocol interface (API) of a cloud service of the identity management system, a first request associated with a first user for user access to an account of the application server. The API may transmit a second request for a secrets service to encrypt a password associated with the first user to a public key of a keypair. The API may receive a message including the encrypted password and forward the encrypted password to an end-client. The identity management system may establish a session on behalf of the first user for the account of the application server based on the end-client having access to a private key of the keypair.

Abstract: A method, software, database and system for attribute partner identification and social network based attribute analysis are presented in which attribute profiles associated with individuals can be compared and potential partners identified. Connections can be formed within social networks based on analysis of genetic and non-genetic data. Degrees of attribute separation (genetic and non-genetic) can be utilized to analyze relationships and to identify individuals who might benefit from being connected.

Abstract: A method, software, database, and system in which a query attribute is used as the basis for accessing stored attribute combinations and their frequencies of occurrence for individuals; and tabulating, based on frequencies of occurrence, those attribute combinations that are most likely to co-occur with the query attribute.

Abstract: One example method for controlling presentations in video conferences includes displaying, by a video conference application executing on a first client device, a first slide of a plurality of slides in a slide presentation as part of a visual display of a video conference on the first client device, receiving, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a second client device, a command to display a second slide, wherein the command is issued by a first user of a plurality of users of the video conferencing application authorized to control the slide presentation; and displaying, by the video conference application executing on the first client, the second slide in response to receiving the command.

Abstract: A credit card recommendation system for recommending credit cards to a user can be based on the consumer's estimated monthly spend, estimated spend across a plurality of categories, and user credit data. The credit card recommendation system can filter credit cards based on a likelihood of approval for the user. The credit card recommendation can determine a reward valuation and an adjustment valuation by assessing user spend and the characteristics corresponding to the credit card. The credit card recommendation can train a model to score credit cards for users, and apply specific user data to the model to determine a credit card score particular to the user.

Abstract: In some implementations, an onboarding device may enable an onboarding application running on a platform. The onboarding device may receive configuration data for a desired device to determine compatibility with a network. The onboarding device may determine, based on a comparison between configuration data and a configuration criteria for the network, whether a compatibility threshold has been satisfied. The onboarding device may determine, when the compatibility threshold has been satisfied, whether the desired device is compatible with the particular network.

Abstract: In some implementations, a network onboarding system may receive, over a first connectivity protocol, a uniform resource identifier (URI) for an IoT device. The network onboarding system may authenticate, over the first connectivity protocol, the IoT device based on the URI. The network onboarding system may exchange, with the IoT device, over the first connectivity protocol, a set of IoT device credentials with a set of onboarding credentials for an IoT network. The network onboarding system may configure a notify message that includes the IoT device credentials for transmission over a second connectivity protocol. The network onboarding system may perform, by the network onboarding system, a filtered discovery of the IoT device over the second connectivity protocol. The network onboarding system may onboard, over the second connectivity protocol, the IoT device onto the IoT network.
