Abstract: A system enables a publisher to specify access to people-based identifiers in a cookieless authentication environment. By giving the publisher the ability to grant access to these identifiers only to trusted parties, data leakage is greatly reduced. Permission is controlled by encrypting the same identifiers using one of a plurality of keys, so that only those parties to whom the publisher desires to give access associated with a particular key may access the information. An application programming interface operated by a resolution vendor accepts publisher identifiers and, after resolution of those identifiers into persons, returns envelope data structures that contain encrypted identifiers for persons. A sidecar process handles decryption and re-encryption of the envelopes as needed to support the identification environment.

Abstract: A system allowing the acquisition of biometric and biographical data of an individual includes a station into which at least one of the following elements are integrated: a sensor of biometric prints, a camera for taking a picture of said individual, a feedback screen and a gantry including lighting means adapted for ensuring lighting complying with given conditions of acquisition of the biometric data. The lighting means include a curved metallic reflector fixed to the rear and to the apex of the framework of a first upper light tube placed substantially horizontally, furnished with a protection which is lowered and oriented toward said reflector, and a second light tube disposed substantially horizontally in the lower part of the framework, where the power P2 of the second lighting tube being lower than that the power P1 of the first tube.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for accessing a plurality of services using a service abstraction layer are described herein. A plurality of services from one or more service provider is registered in a service abstraction layer. A request, from a service requestor, for accessing at least one service of the registered plurality of services is received at the service abstraction layer. Further, the received service request, at a service invoker of the service abstraction layer is forwarded to at least one corresponding service provider. Furthermore, successful execution of the requested service by the corresponding service providers is determined at the service invoker. Based on the determination, a response from the corresponding service provider is returned to the service requestor. Therefore, communication between the service requestor and the multiple service providers is handled by the service abstraction layer, which acts as a centralized layer.
