Abstract: A method for securing data on a mobile device by combining multi-factor, auto-login, encryption and proximity. The method uses a wireless device to store encryption keys, provides a first stage decryption to decrypt the user credentials and login to a container, and a second stage decryption to decrypt the user data and display it. The method also locks the data when the user leaves proximity. This method is immune to physical attacks or jailbreaks.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for changing authentication for a legacy access interface using an access adapter and a token device. The method enables to change authentication factors based on context and allows secure multi-user sharing of legacy applications.

Abstract: A method for downloading a first application to a target system through a host system consisting of downloading a first application adapted to run on a host system from a program store to a host system, and subsequently downloading a second application adapted to run on a target system from the host system to the target system. The first application and the second application enable the host system and the target system to exchange information.

Abstract: A method for facilitating wireless payment using different authentication and connectivity methods depending on the user profile, the user location, transaction, and connectivity capabilities of the payment terminal.

Abstract: A method for securing data uses a unitary device to obtain a biometric reading from a user, and to generate a new key pair corresponding to the user's biometrics. The unitary device uses a private key from the key pair to encrypt data or voice, sends the encrypted data or voice to a second device and deletes the private key. The unitary device can authenticate the user using a previously generated public key corresponding to the user's biometrics. Also, the second device can decrypt the received data or voice using a public key corresponding to the user and previously received from the unitary device.

Abstract: A method for identifying a remote client device and sending a transaction to that remote client device. The method enables mobile payment, mobile signing as well as mobile ID.

Abstract: A method for adapting a mobile identity involves an application publishing different attributes when the application is in the foreground, is in a know location or is in proximity of a beacon then when it is not. The attributes can be scanned wirelessly using short wireless communication.

Abstract: A method for facilitating login using adaptive authentication. The method uses different authentication methods and different data protection methods depending on the user location, availability of network, importance of the data.

Abstract: A method for facilitating authentication enables to automatically log the user to an application multiple times as long as the user has not left proximity of the terminal since the last successful login.

Abstract: A method for automatically updating access security on existing applications with multi-factor authentication, intelligent auto-login, single sign-on, proximity logout, pro-active loss prevention and real-time incident notification using a wrapping function.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mobile security using a short wireless device. The method and device increases mobile device security and data security and reduces false alerts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for intelligent authentication based on proximity and using a short wireless device. The method checks if the user captured a PIN code recently and if no signal drop was detected since the last PIN capture. It obtains user data from a unitary short wireless device and authenticates it. If the user PIN was not captured recently, or if a signal drop was recently detected, the user is asked to enter a PIN code.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for securing user data on a mobile device using a Bluetooth fob. The method and apparatus enables robust access security, issues alerts when the user leaves proximity of his/her terminal, and can delete confidential data. The method also teaches using a Bluetooth smart phone soft token for securing data on a mobile device.

Abstract: A system includes a central program store location having a memory storing a plurality of access keys and programs. A communication network connects the program store location and a host system. A communication channel connects the host system and a target system. The program store a first program and a second program to the host system. The host system then tries to download the second program to the target system. If the target system authenticates the second program signatures and/or keys, the second program and/or keys is downloaded. The first program and the second program enable the host system and the target system to exchange information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for three-factor authentication uses a short wireless device to authenticate access to a computer or device. The computer or device issues a challenge question to the user, for example, requesting the user to say a phrase or write symbols. The user biometric information is captured and authenticated using the short wireless device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for three-factor authentication using a short wireless device. The short wireless device stores a digital key and sends the digital key wirelessly to a third party application or device. The short wireless device can authenticate the user voice or movements in 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional space.

Abstract: A method for communication and for displaying an interactive avatar or hologram corresponding to a remote party.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for secure authentication of Near Field Communication transactions based on proximity to a mobile key device.

Abstract: An emergency detection and notification system containing a short wireless transceiver collects sensor information from onboard sensors and or remote sensors and detects conditions that require attention. Upon detection of an exception, the emergency detection and notification system issues an audible request, and awaits a confirmation from the user. If a confirmation is not received, the emergency detection and notification system instructs a remote terminal or a VOIP service to dial a phone number, to issue messages, and to issue vocal signals corresponding to sensor information.
