  • Patent number: 9948645
    Abstract: Techniques for call-based user verification are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a storage component. The apparatus may further comprise a session component, an identification (ID) component, a mapping component, and a verification component. The session component may be operative on the processor circuit and configured to receive session data from a client device and store the session data in the storage component. The ID component may be operative on the processor circuit and configured to request ID data from a server, receive ID data from the server, and send the ID data to the client device. The mapping component may be operative on the processor circuit and configured to map the session data with the ID data.

  • Publication number: 20160173701
    Abstract: Techniques for message aggregator testing and selection are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise an aggregator contact component, an aggregator selection component, and a messaging component. The aggregator contact component may receive a plurality of bids from a plurality of message aggregators. The aggregator selection component may select two or more candidate aggregators of the plurality of message aggregators, estimate a price-per-delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators, and select a contracting aggregator based on the price-per-delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators. The messaging component may submit a plurality of messages to each of the two or more candidate aggregators, receive a plurality of message confirmations in response to the plurality of messages, and determine the delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
