Abstract: A biometric sensor can be integrated into a user device to enable multifactor biometric authentication of a user on the user device. The biometric sensor can comprise at fingerprint scanner and a heartrate detector, the heartrate detector further comprising an optical input device and a light emitting diode (LED). The fingerprint scanner comprises a camera encircling the edge of the biometric sensor and detects and scans the users fingerprint to compare to a stored fingerprint to authenticate the users fingerprint. The heartrate detector can determine a heartrate of the user. Based on the detected heartrate of the user and utilizing a validation profile it can be determined if the user is, for example, a live person, is under duress, or sleeping. If the heartrate data is validated by the user device within certain allowable parameters, and the fingerprint of the user is authenticated, access to the user device is enabled.

Abstract: A method includes performing, by a processor, identifying a first interface associated with a first functionality of a plurality of functionalities of an application, where a portion of the first functionality has changed within the application, identifying a second functionality of the plurality of functionalities of the application that has not changed, where the second functionality is associated with a plurality of second interfaces, selecting a testing interface out of the plurality of second interfaces associated with the second functionality, and executing a test case for testing the application using the first interface associated with the first functionality and using the testing interface associated with the second functionality, but refraining from using remaining ones of the second interfaces associated with the second functionality for executing the test case.

Abstract: A method includes determining whether a transaction request associated with an account would clear the account if the transaction request is processed. The method further comprising determining whether a particular Automated Teller Machine (ATMs) has sufficient resources to service the transaction request. The method further comprising transmitting an instruction reserving a corresponding amount of currency for the transaction request at the particular ATM for a predetermined time frame.

Abstract: A method includes determining, in response to receiving a request to initiate a transaction from a user, a set of transaction servicers that are located within a predetermined distance of a current location of the user, wherein each transaction servicer is an account holder. The method further includes determining, for each of the transaction servicers in the set, whether the transaction servicer has enough currency to complete the transaction. The method further includes transmitting identifying information for each transaction servicer that has enough currency to complete the transaction to the user. The method further includes, in response to receiving a confirmation that the transaction has been completed, debiting a cash amount of the transaction from an account of the user at an issuing bank.

Abstract: A method includes determining, using a processor, a predicted location of a particular mobile device at a future time based on location information received from the particular mobile device. The method also includes determining, using the processor, a predicted signal strength of the particular mobile device based on a signal catalog and the predicted location of the particular mobile device. The method further includes transmitting, using the processor, the predicted signal strength to the particular mobile device.

Abstract: A method includes determining that an operator biometric does not match any of a plurality of biometrics. The method further includes wherein the plurality of biometrics may be based on a user's interaction with a mobile device. The method further includes wherein the operator biometric may be based on an operator's interaction with the mobile device while the mobile device is in an unlocked state. The method further includes wherein the unlocked state may be associated with a set of mobile device features that are enabled. The method further includes, in response to determining that the operator biometric does not match any of the plurality of biometrics, transitioning the mobile device to a locked state that disables one or more mobile device features from the set that is enabled when the mobile device is in the unlocked state.

Abstract: A method includes performing, by a processor of a network controller of a network: storing device identifications corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of devices connected via the network, respectively, storing an association between a first one and a second one of the plurality of devices, the association being represented as a pairing identification code corresponding to the first and second ones of the plurality of devices, receiving a communication from an intruder device, the communication comprising the device identification corresponding to one of the first and the second ones of the plurality of devices, sending a request to the intruder device to communicate the pairing identification code, and denying access to the network to the intruder device responsive to the intruder device failing to communicate the pairing identification code.

Abstract: A method, performed by an authentication processor of a first network device, includes receiving a first message through a network interface circuit from a second network device. The first message contains a first data unit to be operated upon by the first network device. A second message is received through the network interface circuit from the second network device. The second message contains a reported authentication token for the second network device and a second data unit to be operated upon by the first network device. The first message is received before receipt of the second message. A check authentication token is generated based on hashing the first data unit. A command that controls operation of the first network device is selectively performed on the second data unit based on whether the check authentication token matches the reported authentication token.

Abstract: A processor of a user terminal performs operations that include obtaining a user identifier for a user operating the user terminal, measuring an initial operational performance metric of the user terminal, generating an initial terminal metric identifier from the initial operational performance metric, and communicating with a content server to register a combination of the initial terminal metric identifier and the user identifier for authorized access to content identified by a content identifier through the content server. Responsive to a request to access the content, a present operational performance metric of the user terminal is measured. A present terminal metric identifier is generated based on the present operational performance metric, and a combination of the user identifier and the present terminal metric identifier are communicated to the content server to request that the user using the user terminal be granted access through the content server to the content.

Abstract: A first mobile terminal processes video data from a camera of the first mobile terminal to identify occurrence of a second mobile terminal being aligned to electronically image a display device of the first mobile terminal Responsive to identifying occurrence of the second mobile terminal being aligned to electronically image the display device, the first mobile terminal controls operation of the display device of the first mobile terminal to interfere with an ability of the second mobile terminal to be operated to electronically image the display device. Related mobile terminals and computer program products are disclosed.
