A method comprising the steps of: displaying primary data having a first sensitivity level on a first display screen that is operatively coupled to a first computer; capturing an image of the first display screen with an image capture device that is operatively coupled to a second computer that is communicatively isolated from the first computer such that no data is shared between the first and second computers; executing with the second computer a display recognition and characterization algorithm to recognize the primary data based only on the captured image of the first display screen; and augmenting the primary data by displaying secondary data on a second display, wherein the secondary data is related to, and has a higher sensitivity level than, the primary data.

A system for playing licensed music based on Bluetooth communication includes a smart device and a Bluetooth playing device. The smart device accesses as online data center via a network. The online data center provides a music resource and a playing authorization service. The Bluetooth playing device is in communication with the smart device via transmission channels. The transmission channels include an audio data transmission channel and a music authorization control Bluetooth channel.

The various implementations described herein include methods, devices and systems for detecting trigger events and executing security protocols. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system that is coupled to a smart device system and a client device, the smart device system located at a premises. The server system: (1) detects an unverified user within the premises based on data collected by the smart device system, wherein the data is communicated to the server system via the wide area networks; (2) provides a notification regarding the unverified user to authorized users via the wide area networks; (3) receives, from a first authorized user, a first user input in response to the notification; and (4) in response to receiving the first user input, executes a security operation at the premises based on the first user input.

In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a password selection session on a source augmented reality or virtual reality device (hereafter the source AR/VR device). The method also includes tracking an eye gaze of a source user using the source AR/VR device. In addition, the method includes determining gazed content from the eye gaze of the source user using a password key phrase determination feature. Additionally, the method includes generating a symmetric password key utilizing the gazed content according to a set of password determination rules. Moreover, the method includes performing an operation using the source AR/VR device, the operation being secured by the symmetric password key. The symmetric password key is not exchanged with any other device.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product structured for generation and validation of secure authentication codes. In some embodiments, the system is structured for fetching screen coordinates for a user device, generating a keypad layout, and numbering the keypad layout to produce an authentication keypad. The system is also structured for generating an authentication string, generating a final authentication code hash from the authentication string and a pattern of the authentication string as input into the authentication keypad, and transmitting the authentication keypad and authentication string to a user device. The system is further structured for generating a captured authentication code hash from a captured string and a captured pattern, comparing the final authentication code hash to the captured authentication code hash, and if the final authentication code hash matches the captured authentication code hash, transmitting a session token to a user device.

Disclosed are a communication control device, etc. which can ensure the security of an information system without imposing any significant load. The communication control device 101 comprises: a first transmission unit 102 which, in response to a request from an information processing device 202 for identification information representing a relay device 203 for relaying communications, transmits identification information representing a second information processing device, which is different from the relay device 203, to the information processing device 202; and a second transmission unit 103 which transmits the identification information representing the relay device 203 to the information processing device 202 if software information about software that is to be transmitted by the information processing device 202 on the basis of the identification information is authorized software information.

One embodiment provides a file sharing system. During operation, the system identifies a data file to be sent to a second device of a second user and generates a plurality of coded fragments from the data file based on a generator matrix of erasure encoding. An individual coded fragment does not include plaintext data. The system generates a plurality of sub-files, each of which comprises one or more coded fragments, of the data file. The system attaches a first sub-file to an electronic communication destined to the second device, uploads a second sub-file to a cloud provider, and embeds a link, which may expire and is protected based on a verification code, associated with the uploaded second sub-file into the electronic communication. The system sends the electronic communication to the second device and the verification code in a text message to a cell phone of the second user.

A computer-implemented method for remotely verifying an identity of a user is presented. The method comprises a first data processing device (120) receiving a live video stream (102) of the user from a second data processing device (140) via a video data connection (108) having a video bandwidth. Establishing a separate data connection (110) between the first (120) and second (140) data processing devices, the data connection (110) having a data bandwidth. The first data processing device (120) receiving, via the data connection (110), identifying data (104) captured from an identifying means from the second data processing device (140), or another data processing device. The first data processing device (120) determining first biometric data based on the identifying data (104) and comparing to second biometric data based on the live video stream (102). The first data processing device (120) then verifying an identity of the user based on a correspondence between the first biometric data and the second biometric data.

Application-to-Application authentication features using a second communication channel for out-of-band authentication separate from a communication channel of a request from a client to a server. Authentication information is associated with a component of the system such as the request or the client application, while being collected independent of interaction with the client application initiating the request. Implementations provide improved security over existing solutions using in-band or other means of collecting authentication information.
