Abstract: A method for determining a resource use of resources provided by one or more devices (50) in order to carry out a service, the method comprising at a miner (100): determining (S41) a latest block (35b) of a blockchain (35) related to the service and a total resource information present in the latest block, wherein the total resource information represents the total amount of resources used by the one or more devices (50) for providing the service since a defined starting point in time, determining (S42) that a new use case of resources of a first device of the one or more devices (50) has occurred which is not reflected by the total resource information and determining a new amount of the resources used by the first device during the new use case, determining (S43) a new total resource information in which the total resource information is combined with the new amount of the resources and which reflects a complete use of the resources of the one or more devices from the defined starting point until determi

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for granting temporary remote access via biometric data. A method may include establishing, by a content computing device, a communication session between the content computing device and a remote computing device. The method may further include receiving, by the content computing device from a biometric sensor, a signal confirming biometric authentication thereby establishing an authentication session between the content computing device and the biometric sensor. The method may further include granting, by the content computing device, the temporary remote access for the remote computing device to the data stored in a data storage of the content computing device during said communication session and while the authentication session remains valid. The content computing device is configured to be proximate to the biometric sensor.
