Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

Abstract: A wireless communication system having base stations, remotely located terminal units and a base station controller. The base stations and the remotely located terminal units communicate data over operational wireless communication links between them. The base stations include respective in-channel detectors and out-of-channel detectors for detecting radar or other extraneous received signals. The in-channel detectors analyse signals over the operational communication links. The out-of-channel detectors include respective out-of-channel receiver elements that monitor possibly available channels alternative to the respective operational communication link channels. The base station controller registers whether channels are available or not for communication links, and allocates to the base stations respective target channel parameters including frequencies available for operational and alternative communication links.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to assessing risk and triggering a mitigation action prior to executing an offer based on a level of risk. Risk models are trained with data extracted from past transactions, whereby the risk models are configured to determine levels of risk for potential transactions. A request to make an offer on a listing representing an item is received. In response, the system identifies one or more account attributes associated with the user account and determines a level of risk by applying the one or more account attributes to one or more of the risk models. If the level of risk transgresses a threshold, the system triggers the automatic payment flow prior to executing the offer, which includes causing display of an information request user interface through which payment and shipping information is received. Responsive to receiving the payment and shipping information, the offer is executed.
