  • Patent number: 9628282
    Abstract: The device may receive user information associated with a user. The device may generate a user profile for the user that stores user information and authentication confirmation information. The device may provide a particular cryptographic key and information identifying the user profile. The device may receive a request to authenticate a secure session for a user device from an application server.

  • Patent number: 9474011
    Abstract: An approach is provided for enabling a subscriber to establish rules for controlling user interaction with a resource based on the activity of the user. A reactive control platform monitors a current activity of a user of a device, one or more services, or a combination thereof associated with a subscriber during access by the user to a network of a subscriber. The status of the user is determined based on the monitoring, profile information associated with the user, or a combination thereof. A request for input from the subscriber for specifying one or more rules to be enforced for affecting a use of the device, the one or more services, the network of the subscriber, or a combination thereof by the user is then generated based on the determination.
