  • Patent number: 11343341
    Abstract: An indication is sent to a host server device. The indication includes a request for a push notification service identification (PNSID). The PNSID is used to establish a secure registration between one or more applications on the computing device of a user and the host server device. The PNSID is received from the host server device. An input is received from the user. The input includes one or more application server devices that may send push notifications to the computing device. A unique key is generated for each application server device. The PNSID and a different unique key are sent to each application server device. Each different unique key is associated with a different application server device. A registration is received from each application server device.

  • Patent number: 10958644
    Abstract: A context-aware biometric access control policy is provided. A request to access a protected resource received from a client device is identified. A resource hierarchy associates each of a plurality of protected resources with one or more respective confidence levels of authentication. A confidence level that is associated with the protected resource is identified based on the resource hierarchy. Instructions to capture a biometric token via the client device are generated based on a set of one or more confidence level parameters that is associated with the identified confidence level. The generated instructions are sent to the client device. A biometric token received from the client device is determined to authenticate the user of the client device and, in response, the request to access the protected resource is approved.
