Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing dilution of precision (DOP) forecasts for GNSS navigation and optionally degree of confidence, for routing of vehicles or alerting humans in vehicles: accessing a 3D map of an area including structure solids and generating cuboids in spaces not contained in the structure solids, and iteratively over time increments, calculating GNSS satellites visible from the cuboids using the 3D map and, using at least the calculated visibility, determining a DOP forecast for GNSS signals observable in the cuboids at the time increments. The disclosed method also includes compressing the calculated DOP forecast spatially and temporally, and distributing the compressed DOP forecast via a content delivery network (CDN), responsive to queries from requestors to an API of the CDN, whereby the requestors' systems can take into account the DOP forecast for routing the vehicles or alerting the humans in the vehicles to a predicted navigation impairment.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium for providing security friction to a request for access to a resource based on whether the access request is atypical. In certain embodiments, a request to access the resource based on a user identity is received electronically. The system determines whether the request is typical or atypical. If the request is typical, access to the requested resource is granted. However, if the request is atypical, access to the requested resource is only allowed if the correct information is provided in response to one or more access control methods that provide an amount of security friction that would otherwise not have been asserted if the resource request was typical. In certain embodiments, an elapsed time between access requests based on the user identity is used to determine whether the access request is atypical.
