  • Patent number: 10798007
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer-readable medium, and/or system may comprise a user device configured to transmit, to a computing device, data indicative of a first routing network and data indicative of a second routing network. The computing device may comprise a processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to receive, from the user device, the data indicative of the first routing network and the data indicative of the second routing network. The computing device may determine, based on the data indicative of the first routing network, a plurality of parameters for the first routing network. The computing device may determine, based on the data indicative of the second routing network, a plurality of parameters for the second routing network. The computing device may generate a secure session connection between the computing device and a server associated with the second routing network.

  • Publication number: 20200293684
    Abstract: Client devices can send access request messages to resource management computers to request access to a resource. A data security hub can provide centralized routing between different client devices, resource management computers, and authentication data processing servers. The data security hub can reduce the risk of sensitive authentication information from leaking (e.g., due to a breach) by limiting the amount or types of authentication information distributed to the data processing servers. The data security hub can limited the authentication information being distributed based on its sensitivity, the trust level of the client device, and the security level of the requested resource. The data security hub can also evaluate the client devices and data processing servers to identify security breaches and can cancel or reroute access requests accordingly Thus, the data security hub can maintain resource security while better preserving the privacy of the client device's authentication information.

  • Patent number: 10716060
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, computer-readable medium, and/or system may comprise a computing device comprising a processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to receive, from a user device, data indicative of an item. The computing device may be located at a first location, and the user device may be located at a second location, where the first location is different from the second location. The computing device may identify the item based on item recognition using the data indicative of the item. The computing device may determine, based on the identified item, one or more routing networks for the user device to use for the identified item. The computing device may generate, for display via the user device, a notification indicating the one or more routing networks for the user device to use for the identified item.

  • Publication number: 20190258813
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a creation of a container within a system, selecting a security policy for the container, based on one or more attributes, identifying a key label associated with the security policy for the container, retrieving a data encryption key, utilizing the key label, and encrypting the container, utilizing the data encryption key. This may enable a highly granular level of automatic container-level security within the system that may be transparently implemented within the system, which may streamline container security and reduce an amount of stored data and processing necessary for implementing container security, and may thereby improve the performance of the system.
