Abstract: A cognitive psychology authentication in a multi-factor authentication system. A request is received to access a secure resource associated with a user. A set of cognitive psychology questions are selected from a plurality of cognitive psychology questions for transmission to a client device associated with the request. A set of responses corresponding to the set of cognitive psychology questions are received and cognitive psychology data is generated based on the set of responses. A cognitive psychology profile associated with the user is retrieved from a database. An authentication score is calculated based on comparing the cognitive psychology data to the cognitive psychology profile. An authentication success notification is transmitted when the authentication score compares favorably to an authentication threshold. An authentication failure notification is transmitted when the authentication score compares unfavorably to the authentication threshold.

Abstract: An encrypted link is established with multiple ciphers. During a handshake protocol when establishing a secure session, at least two sets of cipher suites are transmitted to a server by a client. A choice cipher suite for each set of the at least two sets of cipher suites are received by the client from the server. The client selects a first choice cipher suite from among the choice cipher suites received from the server. The client establishes a connection with the server using the first choice cipher suite to encrypt the connection.

Abstract: A first quality of service (QoS) desired for a first application during a period over a wireless network is determined. From a plurality of data communication channels, a data communication channel presently assigned to a first type of data packets is identified, the first type of data packets being used by the first application. A determination is made that the presently assigned data communication channel is unsuitable to provide the first QoS. A ranking of the first type of data packets is adjusted relative to a second type of data packets to assign a new rank to the first type of data packets. The new rank is transmitted to a service provider system associated with the wireless network, the new rank causing the service provider system to assign the first type of data packets to a second data communication channel in the plurality of data communication channels.

Abstract: A filesystem command is sent by a first processor, and for synchronization by a second processor. The filesystem command is directed to a second object of a second filesystem that is synchronized with a first object of a first filesystem. An expression is sent by the first processor to the second filesystem, and for authentication by the second processor. The expression is generated based on a third object of the first filesystems that is synchronized with a fourth object of the second filesystem.
