Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable program code are disclosed for generating a virtual authenticator for access to relying party applications hosted by a service provider. The method includes receiving, by a processor, authentication information from an authenticator device for a user with a request for access to one or more relying party applications hosted by the service provider; identifying, by the processor, a virtual authenticator profile for the user based on the authentication information received from the authenticator device; and generating, by the processor, an authentication token for the user based on the virtual authenticator profile for the user and in accordance with an authentication method of the service provider.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable program code are disclosed for authentication of users for access to web applications. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a user identifier and a biometric identifier for a user with a request to access one or more relying party applications; validating, by the processor, the user identifier and the biometric identifier for the user with the request to access the one or more relying party applications; retrieving, by the processor, an authentication token for the user from an external trusted source; forwarding, by the processor, the authentication token for the user retrieved from the external trusted source to the one or more relying party applications; and receiving, on the processor, authentication from the one or more relying party applications for the user to access the one or relying party applications.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable program code are disclosed for offline authentication of users for access to web applications. The method includes requesting, by a processor, access for a user to one or more relying party applications; receiving, by the processor, a redirection request from the one or more relying party applications to retrieve an authentication token for the user from an identity service provider; determining, by the processor, that the identity service provider is not available to provide the authentication token for the user; retrieving, by the processor, the authentication token for the user from a trusted source; forwarding, by the processor, the authentication token for the user retrieved from the trusted source to the one or more relying parties; and receiving, on the processor, authentication from the one or more relying parties for the user to access the one or relying party applications.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable program code are disclosed for authenticating users. The method includes registering, on a processing device, one or more users in an authentication system, each of the one or more users having at least one corresponding client device; receiving, on the processing device, location data from the at least one corresponding client device; receiving, on the processing device, location data from one or more computer systems; calculating, on the processing device, a distance from the one or more computer systems to the at least one corresponding client device; receiving, by the processing device, an orientation or orientations of the at least one corresponding client device; and sending, by the processing device, a notification to the at least one corresponding client device.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable program code are disclosed for authenticating users for services. The method includes registering one or more users in an authentication system; assigning a score index to each of the one or more users in the authentication system for one or more services, the score index representing a security level and corresponding authentication required to access each of the one or more services; inputting each request for services from the one or more users into the authentication system to continuously update the score index for each of the one or more users, each of the requests including one or more authenticators or biometric identifiers for the requested service; and requesting the one or more users to register one or more additional authenticators or biometric identifiers with the authentication system upon the score index for a user reaching of a predefined threshold value.

Abstract: A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system are disclosed for updating firmware in a memory of a device. The method including creating a new firmware image for the device; calculating a checksum of the new firmware image; performing a binary comparison of the new firmware image with an existing firmware image on the device; preparing a new differential data image for the binary comparison of the new firmware image to the existing firmware image; and calculating a checksum of the new differential data image for the binary comparison of the new firmware image to the existing firmware image.
