  • Publication number: 20230244831
    Abstract: A method and system, including a device having a processor and instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium. In the system and method, data is identified and collected that is required to simulate a geographical area. The data is input into a simulation engine that runs a simulation of the geographical area. A scenario is identified to apply to the simulation, wherein the scenario is identified through employment on non-simulated data. The scenario is applied to the simulation by revising the data that is input to the simulation engine.

  • Publication number: 20220294785
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed for an identity vault service. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an identity vault service system can collect self-attested and operator-attested user information. The operator-attested user information can be associated with a user and a mobile telecommunications service provided to the user by a mobile network operator. The system can create a trusted digital identity of the user based upon the self-attested and operator-attested user information. The system can receive an identity access request from a third party. The request can be for access to at least a portion of the trusted digital identity for use by the third party in performance of an act. The system can send a consent request to a user device and can receive a consent response that indicates whether the user permits access to at least the portion of the trusted digital identity of the user.

  • Patent number: 9825973
    Abstract: Websites are monitored for changes over time. A domain name server resolves a domain name to a single internet protocol address and then performs a reverse resolution for the single internet protocol address. When multiple alias records resolve to the same host name, the domain name server determines the single internet protocol address virtually hosts multiple domain names.
