Abstract: Authentication systems and methods using orientation sensor-enabled payment cards are disclosed herein where a server receives an authorization request from a web server or an electronic terminal. The server then transmits an instruction to the orientation sensor to determine whether the payment card has an orientation that is consistent with a predetermined orientation. When the payment card has an orientation consistent with the predetermined orientation, the server executes a first authentication protocol. However, if the payment card has an orientation that is not consistent with the predetermined orientation, the server executes a second authentication protocol that is more restrictive than the first authentication protocol.

Abstract: As remote working has become more prevalent, video calls have become increasingly popular. However, various methods have been introduced to circumvent liveness in video calls, such as by playing a prerecorded video stream of a user; thus the user is not actually in attendance in the video call. Aspects of the present disclosure address this problem and others by detecting liveness in video calls. Some implementations can obtain biometric data from users during the video call to confirm that is user is indeed at the computing device streaming the video call. Some implementations can detect looping in the video stream of the user, such as by observing a repeated blinking pattern. Some implementations can prompt the user for a live response, such as by answering a question, and/or can determine that the user's behavior is inconsistent with the behavior of other users in the video call.

Abstract: A touchless method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed.

Abstract: A dynamic test publication framework for software development updates can be used to reliably publish test results. A variety of test tools can be used to design and execute a series of software tests for a given software update. An interface can be used to communicate the tests results to one or more producing components. The producing components can stream test results data objects, which can be stored in a queue. The queue can persistently store the test data objects and dynamically scale so that the dynamic test publication framework as a whole can reliably publish test results. A publisher can iteratively receive the queued test results data objects and publish them to a test evidencing platform. In some implementations, components of the dynamic test publication framework can independently and dynamically scale based the observed state of the dynamic test publication framework and/or the test evidencing platform.

Abstract: A computer may generate a temporary digital wallet containing one or more anonymous payment tokens and transmit the temporary digital wallet to a user device of a user. When the user provides an anonymous payment token of the one or more anonymous payment tokens to a point of sale (POS) system, the computer may receive from the POS system or other systems connected thereto, a request to authorize payment for the anonymous payment token. The request to authorize payment may also include an amount to be paid by the user to the POS system. Using the anonymous payment token, the computer may retrieve a user account and determine that the user account has sufficient funds for the transaction. Based upon the determination that the user account has sufficient funds, the computer may transmit an authorization confirmation back to the POS system or any other system that the authorization request originated from.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to a call management system that aims to provide a more efficient, secure, and dynamic technique for authenticating a user based on a location of the user. A server of the call management system receives a phone call from a user device. The server transfers the phone call to an analyst device. When the analyst device accepts the phone call, the server starts an electronic communication session between the user device and the analyst device. The server then determines a current location of the user. The server further determines a question for authentication of the user based on the current location. The server transmits the question to the analyst device. The analyst device transmits the question to the user device via the server. In response to an answer received from the user device, the server authenticates the user.
