Abstract: A method to approximate a segment count for a normalized dataset. The method includes sampling items in the primary database object to generate a sample, executing a segmentation count query on the sample to determine how many items in the sample satisfy a set of segment criteria, determining an error value based on an estimated sample size of the sample, a number of items in the sample that satisfy the set of segment criteria, and a confidence level value, determining a range of counts for the segment count based on the number of items in the sample that satisfy the set of segment criteria, the error value, and a total number of items in the primary database object, and providing the range of counts representing an approximated segment count for the normalized dataset.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for authenticating by labeling are provided herein. A method includes identifying each of one or more graphical-based input elements to be associated with a computing device in response to user activity in connection with the computing device; identifying each of one or more graphical-based labels to be assigned to the one or more graphical-based input elements; displaying (i) the one or more graphical-based input elements and (ii) the one or more graphical-based labels via an interface of the computing device; generating a prompt via the computing device interface; and processing input cryptographic information entered via the computing device interface in response to the prompt against (i) the one or more graphical-based input elements and (ii) the one or more graphical-based labels.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for authenticating by labeling are provided herein. A method includes establishing a set of cryptographic information, wherein said set of cryptographic information comprises (i) a set of one or more graphical-based input elements and (ii) one or more graphical-based labels assigned to the set of one or more input elements in accordance with a given arrangement; generating a prompt via a computing device interface in connection with an authentication request to access a protected resource associated with the computing device; processing input cryptographic information entered via the computing device interface in response to the prompt against the set of cryptographic information; and resolving the authentication request based on said processing.
