Abstract: Technologies for authenticating a user of a computing device based on an authentication context state includes generating context state outputs indicative of various context states of a mobile computing device based on sensor data generated by sensors of the mobile computing device. An authentication manager of the computing device implements an authentication state machine to authenticate a user of the computing device. The authentication state machine includes a number of authentication states, and each authentication state includes one or more transitions to another authentication state. Each of the transitions is dependent upon a context state output. The computing device may also include a device security manager, which implements a security state machine that includes a number of security states. Transition between security states is dependent upon the present authentication state of the user. The device security manager may implement a different security function in each security state.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for resilient network construction using enhanced privacy identification are described herein. A group certificate may be generated for a first device group. The first device group may include a plurality of devices having a shared attribute. A request may be received from a device of the plurality of devices for a data exchange session with a data partner device. The data partner device may be included in a second device group. The data exchange session may be enabled based on a set of permissions related to the group certificate. The set of permissions may define, at least in part, the accessibility of the second device group to the first device group.

A beacon transmitted from an ultrasound broadcast as well as one or more different wireless broadcasts can be used to geo-locate a device and provide access controls based on the geo-location.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to content protection for Data as a Service (DaaS). A device may receive encrypted data from a content provider via DaaS, the encrypted data comprising at least content for presentation on the device. For example, the content provider may utilize a secure multiplex transform (SMT) module in a trusted execution environment (TEE) module to generate encoded data from the content and digital rights management (DRM) data and to generate the encrypted data from the encoded data. The device may also comprise a TEE module including a secure demultiplex transform (SDT) module to decrypt the encoded data from the encrypted data and to decode the content and DRM data from the encoded data. The SMT and SDT modules may interact via a secure communication session to validate security, distribute decryption key(s), etc. In one embodiment, a trust broker may perform TEE module validation and key distribution.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward publication and/or removal of attributes in a multi-user computing environment. In some embodiments, a consumer information manager (CIM) associated with a user of a multi-user computing system may receive a notification, from a dimension authority (DA), of a decrease in a population count of users of the computing system who have published an attribute within the computing system, and may determine whether the user has published the attribute. In response to receiving the notification of the decrease and determining that the user has published the attribute, the CIM may determine a likelihood that continued publication of the attribute will enable identification of the user, compare the likelihood to a threshold, and, when the likelihood exceeds the threshold, remove the attribute from publication. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
