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.

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.

Abstract: A method and system to authenticate users with a one time password by using a visual communication channel. The method and system may include using a device to capture a sequence of images being displayed and decrypt an encrypted one time password contained in the sequence of images.

Abstract: A method of route determination for mobile elements in a network comprising a plurality of paths each having a predetermined path capacity. The method comprises the steps of registering centrally a plurality of route requests from a corresponding plurality of mobile elements each of said requests defining a journey between an origin and a destination and registering centrally for each route request a journey start time. Routing instructions are centrally determined so as to optimise use of path capacity across all synchronous journeys requests in said network with reference to said registered information, and issued to corresponding mobile elements. The mobile elements adapt their route to comply with the routing instruction. There may be provided further steps of monitoring and rerouting the mobile element whenever new journeys requests can impact its remaining trip.

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.
