  • Patent number: 10693874
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor-readable media are disclosed to adaptively secure access operations with respect to electronic resources. A request from an endpoint device may be detected, and adaptive authentication may be initiated. Identifiers for the endpoint device may be generated or retrieved. An access-right indicator may be identified to facilitate determination of whether particularized access for electronic resources is to be granted. Initiation of access events by the endpoint device may be detected. Sensor-based data that is based on a first set of sensors capturing phenomena at the endpoint device may be received. A particularized specification of recognized patterns mapped to the access-right indicator may be adaptively developed. A nonconformance of additional data with respect to the particularized specification may be detected.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10109215
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for maintaining academic integrity are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an academic integrity system can maintain user profile data and receive integrity data. The integrity data can include data identifying one or several attributes of an actual user. This integrity data can be compared to the user profile data to determine a likelihood that the alleged user is the actual user. The likelihood that the alleged user is the actual user is compared to an academic integrity criterion. The result of this comparison is used to determine whether to request additional integrity data or to confirm or deny the identity of the actual user.
