Abstract: Systems and methods provide for a solution for encryption by dynamically opening multiple channels between the client and the server, where the channels include both secured (e.g., SSL/TLS and etc.) channels and non-secured channels. Non-sensitive information can be over non-secured channels, and sensitive information can be sent via the secured channels. The system can recognize whether the information is sensitive or not via the use of tags on a page or frame that delineate which information is sensitive. For instance, on a form, tags can mark off the areas of the form that may contain sensitive information, such as social security numbers, names, addresses, financial information, and other private information. All the data within the tags can be considered sensitive and so be communicated to the server via a secure channel while other data can be transmitted through unsecured channels.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improvements in managing connection channels for multiple associated users. As connection channel changes occur for one or more users, various connection channels are updated such that appropriate functionality is accessible as determined based on aspects of the connection channel change.

Abstract: Theft identification, prevention, and remedy are provided. A determination is made that a client device has been compromised. When the device makes the determination, a message is conveyed to the server and the server replies with a security challenge. When the server makes the determination, the security challenge is automatically sent to the device. An intelligence manager on the device attempts to answer the security question without interaction from the user. If there is an anomaly, a challenge is output to the user. Based on a false response to the challenge, a current data stream may be disrupted and removed from the device. Further, other devices in the network may be notified about the compromised device.

Abstract: A computer system for facilitating peer-to-peer anonymous lending between members of a business syndicate is disclosed. The system is structured to generate, by a disaster funding modeler circuit, based on disaster and economy data received from an external source, a projection of a need for a loan for a particular syndicate member located in a particular geographical area. The location of the syndicate member is determined based on member-provided information and/or based on global positioning system (GPS) information received from the member's computing device. This information is supplemented by additional information received from a municipality computer system (e.g., vehicle positioning information). The system is further structured to facilitate a peer-to-peer loan transaction.

Abstract: A method may include, receiving, at a server device and from a requesting computing device associated with a requesting user, a request for a data item. The data item configured may be configured as a data structure and include an encrypted data payload; metadata identifying a source of the payload and when the data payload was captured; and a token identifying an owner of the data item and access rights to the data item. The method may include parsing he token to identify the owner of the data item; transmitting the request for the data item to a computing device associated with the owner; receiving a response from the computing device. The response may indicate the requesting user may access the data item, and in response, transmit a decryption key to the requesting computing device for the encrypted data payload. The method may include updating the token.

Abstract: A distributed device rating system includes a device that is configured to send, to a central authority system, a query to identify at least one other device with which to perform a transaction, where the query specifies one or more criteria associated with the transaction, receive, from the central authority system, an identification of one or more candidate devices with which to perform the transaction, receive rating information associated with the one or more candidate devices, where the rating information identifies at least one characteristic of services previously performed by the one or more candidate devices, determine whether the rating information associated with at least one candidate device of the one or more candidate devices satisfies a rating threshold, and, responsive to determining that the rating information satisfies the rating threshold, initiate, with the at least one candidate device, performance of the transaction.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing an automated data agent monitoring bot. A method includes receiving, by a processor of a computer, input from a user requesting monitoring of user data generation and access on an application or website. The processor analyzes terms of service of the application or website where the user data is used or generated, and programs a monitoring bot configured to monitor the user data based on the terms of service and the received input. The monitoring bot tracks third-party access to the user data based on the terms of service, notifies the user regarding the tracked third-party access, and provides options to the user to control or monetize the tracked access to the user data.

Abstract: Techniques are described for a management system to facilitate a negotiation process and payment for a requested resource between a vehicle and a supplier machine. The vehicle sends a request for the resource to the management system. In response, the management system is configured to identify a set of candidate supplier machines from a plurality of supplier machines that provide the requested resource in accordance with one or more resource parameters. The management system then initiates a negotiation process with each of the supplier machines within the set of candidate supplier machines based on one or more negotiation parameters. Once a transaction for the requested resource is agreed upon, the management system forms a smart contract between the vehicle, the supplier machine, and the management system. The management system executes the smart contract once the resource request is fulfilled to disburse funds from the vehicle to the supplier machine.
