  • Patent number: 10225261
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for authentication and authorization of an access to a resource by a device may be provided. The device may be a system-on-a-chip resource weak device. The mechanism forms a federation of a group of the devices in a neighborhood. The devices are wireless communication enabled. The mechanism builds a representational vector for each device of the federation of devices during an initial authentication procedure for the device. The representational vector comprises characteristic parameters of the device and neighboring devices. The mechanism uses an access token based authorization process for accessing the resource. The access token is generated during the initial authentication procedure, in which the representational vector of the device is used to confirm that a device that is new to the federation is in the neighborhood of already federated devices.

  • Patent number: 9686267
    Abstract: A client system associated with a user includes at least one hardware processor configured to initiate the following operations. A modified login page is received from a proxy hardware system. An asynchronous engine is loaded by a browser system executing on the client system and caused by a routine from the modified login page. A login process with an authentication profiling service is executed, using the asynchronous engine, to retrieve login information for a back-end server. The authentication process with the back-end server is completed using the asynchronous engine. The modified logic page is generated by the proxy hardware system by adding the routine to a login page being sent from the back-end server to the browser.

  • Patent number: 9641218
    Abstract: One or more processors send a signal from a first computing device to a second computing device through a hardwire connection. One or more processors determine a change between the signal as sent by the first computing device and the signal as received by the second computing device. The change is caused, at least in part, by the distance the signal travels. One or more processors determine a geo-location of the second computing device based, at least in part, on the change.

  • Patent number: 9407627
    Abstract: A login page is sent, by a backend server system, to a browser executing on a client associated with a user; and an authentication process is performed by the backend server system with the client. The logic page is intercepted by a proxy, and a modified logic page is generated by the proxy by adding a routine to the logic page. The modified logic page is forwarded to the browser, and the routine causes the browser to loads an asynchronous engine configured to execute a login process with an authentication profiling service to retrieve login information for the back-end server, and complete the authentication process.

  • Patent number: 9275214
    Abstract: A codebook, comprising a number of groups of symbols in a predetermined pattern printed on a card or the like is issued to a user. The user is attributed or selects an extraction pattern representing an order of progression through the symbols in each group of symbols. When the user wishes to make an authentication action an authentication party challenges the user to submit the symbols found at selected positions in the extraction pattern. The user applies the extraction pattern to the codebook and retrieves the symbols found at the selected positions, and submits these to the authenticating party. The authenticating party applies the same extraction pattern to the same codebook, and determines whether the results match those submitted by the user, and in a case where the two sets of symbols match, authenticates the user.

  • Patent number: 8990782
    Abstract: A solution is proposed for instrumenting a software application for configuration thereof. A corresponding method includes scanning a source code of the software application for detecting an indication of a set of configuration parameters each one being identified by a pre-defined non-executable statement, creating a set of instances of a pre-defined configuration object each one mapping a corresponding one of the configuration parameters, the configuration object being designed to manage the corresponding configuration parameter, and creating a set of configuration interfaces for editing the configuration parameters, the configuration interfaces being operable to interact with each instance of the configuration object to get and set the corresponding configuration parameter.

  • Patent number: 8769650
    Abstract: A method for establishing and maintaining a Single Sign-on between a reverse proxy and a back-end server can include instigating an authentication process through a browser for a user to obtain access to the back-end server, intercepting a login page from the back-end server at the reverse proxy and adding a routine thereto, thereby loading an asynchronous engine on the browser executing a login process with an authentication profiling service, in order to retrieve the login information for the back-end server, and completing the authentication process with the back-end to allow the user access the back-end server through the asynchronous engine.
