Example embodiments of systems and methods for data transmission system between transmitting and receiving devices are provided. These systems and methods may provide for the secure transmission of sensitive information, such personally-identifiable information. In some examples, the sensitive information may be requested and securely shared when cryptographically signed by the user, and the user may control the access of viewers to the personally identifiable information or end users.

A processing system may obtain a request from a user device to activate an access credential locker for use in accessing at least one enterprise system of an enterprise via the processing system, the request comprising a token that identifies the access credential locker, obtain a first key from the user device, transmit, to the enterprise, a request for a second key, obtain the second key from the enterprise in response to the request, apply the first key and the second key to the access credential locker, the access credential locker being encrypted in accordance with the first and second keys and being decrypted via the applying of the first and second keys, and establish a communication session between the user device and the at least one enterprise system via the processing system using at least one access credential that is stored in the decrypted access credential locker.

Methods and systems for verifying a user's identity on a computing device using two-factor authentication are described. More particularly, the system utilizes a personal identification number input by a user, together with one or more of a secure browsing feature, a device fingerprint, and a token generator to authenticate the user on the computer.

A method including: receiving, from an application executing on a computing device and by an authentication process executing on the computing device, data representative of user credentials corresponding to the application, the authentication process being isolated from the application; packaging, by the authentication process, the data representative of user credentials with a device identification assigned to the computing device and an indication that the user credentials correspond to the application, the device identification being hidden from the application; outputting for transmission, by the authentication process and to an authentication server, an authentication request containing the packaged user credentials and device identification; receiving, by the authentication process and from the authentication server, an indication of authentication of the user credentials; and forwarding the received indication from the authentication process to the application.

Systems and methods are provided for secure access to data actions. In one embodiment, secondary devices are identified based upon communicative coupling with a primary device. The secondary devices are registered as trusted devices for subsequent authentication.

A method of performing out-of-band user authentication includes, by a service electronic device associated with a service a request to initiate a session of the service, generating an authentication token, encrypting the authentication token to generate an encrypted authentication token, and transmitting the encrypted authentication token to the electronic device.

The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for determining secondary authentication of a user's log-in attempts by comparing received behavioral biometric data and/or received scenario-specific data to saved behavioral biometric data and/or saved scenario-specific data, respectively. Responsive to determining that the received behavioral biometric data and/or received scenario-specific data is above a predetermined threshold of similarity with respect to the saved behavioral biometric data and/or saved scenario-specific data, respectively, the systems and methods can determine that the corresponding log-in attempt is secondarily authenticated. of a user device via behavioral biometric data. Responsive to determining that the level of similarity is not above the predetermined threshold, the systems and methods can initiate a secondary authentication method and can associate the received behavioral biometric data with a second user model.

A technique uses a managed computing device to extend management control by an organization to IoT (Internet of Things) devices in a local environment of the computing device. The computing device discovers any local IoT devices and participates in a communication with a server to bring one or more of the IoT devices under management control. In some examples, extending management control involves enrolling selected IoT devices into a management framework of the organization and directing communications between the server and the respective IoT devices through the managed device, which provides a point-of-presence for administering management of the selected IoT devices in the local environment.

A method and apparatus for creating and using a password card and a password hint. The invention allows the user to avoid revealing their password and because of that, the invention provides a better secure way of managing passwords. The user is still able to retrieve their password using the password hint and the password card generated by the system. The invention also allow to encrypt and decrypt the password hint to an external API and this add an extra layer of security protection.

Techniques are disclosed relating to user authentication. In some embodiments, a computing system maintains an exception handler of a software development platform. The exception handler is executable to process a particular type of exception that causes an authentication of users of applications running on the software development platform. The computing system may receive, at the exception handler, an indication of the particular type of exception thrown by a particular application. In response to receiving the indication of the particular type of exception, the exception handler issues to a web browser interacting with the application, a request that the web browser redirect to an authentication server configured to perform an authentication of a user of the particular application. The computing system receives, from the authentication server, a result of the performed authentication and returns the result to the particular application.
