Patent number: 11695758Abstract: A method for a multi-factor authentication, the method receives results of an initial authentication of a user. Responsive to confirming the initial authentication, an image of a secondary set of authentication options is presented. An option selection is received from the user, wherein the selection is determined by tracking eye movement of the user over the image that includes the set of second factor authentication options. User facial activity is tracked corresponding to the selection made from the secondary set of authentication options. The monitored facial activity is compared to a pre-established authentication condition to determine whether a match exists with the selected secondary set of authentication options, and responsive to facial activity monitored matching the authentication condition pre-established by the user and corresponding to the selection made from the secondary set of authentication options, authentication of the user is confirmed.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Doga Tav, Ron Williams, Hyman David Chantz

Patent number: 11297090Abstract: A security incident is detected at a first location; a risk of the security incident is evaluated. A first security scores is generated for the first location. A set of security scores are generated for a set of alternative locations; the set of security scores excludes the first security score. A second security score within the set of security scores is determined to be the best security score among a plurality of security scores; the plurality of security scores comprises the set of security scores and the first security score. A workload associated with the first location is migrated to a second location, where the second location is associated with the second security score.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bruno dos Santos Silva, Ron Williams, David Kaminsky

Patent number: 10025957Abstract: A secure provisioning manifest used to authenticate and securely communicate with peripherals attached to a computer is provided with techniques to learn about a new peripheral not authorized to be attached to the computer and possibly gain authorization for the peripheral. A secure I/O module, that is separate from an operating system and transaction software executed by a processor of the computer, uses the secure provisioning manifest to authenticate and establish a secure encrypted session for communicating with each peripheral authorized to be attached to the computer. When an unauthorized peripheral is found, identifying information for the peripheral is transmitted to an enterprise provisioning server with a request to authorize the peripheral.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Erick Christian Kobres, Ron William Rogers
