The present invention relates to authorising access to data (132) associated with a user. Aspects of the invention provide a computer-implemented method, computer software, a system and a computing device. The method comprises receiving, at an application server (120) from a first device (110), a request to access the data (132) associated with the user. The data (132) is hosted at a data server (130) external to the application server (120). The application server (120) provides an authorisation request (510) to an authorisation server (140); and the authorisation request is transmitted from the authorisation server (140) to an authorisation application (310) executed on a second device (150) associated with the user. The authorisation application (310) executed on the second device (150) sends, in response to receiving the authorisation request, a redirect authorisation request (520) to a second application (320) executed on the second device (150), the second application (320) being associated with the data server (130). The request is authorised at the second device (150) by the second application (320), in dependence on an authorisation input from the user at the second device (150). In response to the authorisation of the request the second application (320) provides an access token to the application server (120) via the authorisation server (140), the access token being configured to enable access by the application server (120) to the data associated with the user.

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by an access control server, an authentication request message comprising a credential or a token from an access device, after the access device receives the credential or the token from a portable device of a user. The method also includes responsive to receiving the authentication request message, transmitting, by the access control server, a challenge message to a user device associated with the user; generating, by the access control server, an authentication indicator. The method also includes transmitting, by the access control server, an authentication response message including the authentication indicator to the access device.

The present disclosure relates to a transmitting device for transmitting vehicular data via a sidelink interface to one or more receiving devices. The transmitting device performs autonomous radio resource allocation for transmitting the vehicular data via the sidelink interface. An application layer generates the vehicular data and forwards the vehicular data together with a priority indication and one or more quality of service parameters to a transmission layer responsible for transmission of the vehicular data via the sidelink interface. The transmission layer performs autonomous radio resource allocation based on the received priority indication and the one or more quality of service parameters. The transmission layer transmits the vehicular data via the sidelink interface to the one or more receiving devices according to the performed autonomous radio resource allocation.

Systems and methods for selectively authenticating an untrusted device based on a trust level are disclosed. The system can include transmitting an authentication request from a first device seeking to authenticate a second device to access to an account. The first device receives an authentication token that can be used by the second device for authentication. The authentication token can be transmitted wirelessly to the second device or can be scanned by the second device in the case that the token is a scannable image displayed on the first device. The systems can determine a trust level for the second device based on an association between the first device and the second device. The system can provide the second device a degree of access to the account that relates to the trust level.

The present disclosure generally relates to setting up an account for a service. A request to set up an account for a first service is received. In response to receiving the request to set up the account for the first service, a first login option and a second login option are displayed. If an input selecting the first login option is detected, a request to use first contact information for a user to set up the account for the first service is transmitted. If an input selecting the second login option is detected, a request to use second contact information for the user to set up the account for the first service is transmitted. The second contact information is automatically generated for the service and does not reveal the first contact information for the user.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for interconnecting devices. One of the methods includes authenticating, by a security platform, a user. The method includes generating, by the security platform, an authentication token for the user. The method includes receiving a selection of an IoT application by the user, the IoT application configured to control an IoT device. The method includes providing, by the security platform, the authentication token to the IoT application to authenticate the user with the selected application. The method also includes providing, by the selected application, control of the IoT device to the user.
