The present invention relates generally to a Got Work Application, apparatus, system, and a method of using same. The inventive software App allows a user to post a picture or photo or description of work that they need done, along with their current location, and any other additional job-related information that the potential customer or hire or employer needs. The invention also provides a method of using the inventive App which allows a user to be able to see how many jobs have been posted by potential employers or customers, along with their current location, job description, and any other additional job-related information that the potential employer has posted, to seek out potential workers. This inventive App connects two different individuals or users, one who is looking for work, and the other who is looking for workers or wants work to be done.

Device identification scoring systems and methods may be provided that can increase the reliability and security of communications between devices and service providers. Users may select and configure additional identification factors that are unique and convenient for them. These factors, along with additional environmental variables, feed into a trust score computation that weights the trustworthiness of the device context requesting communication with a service provider. Service providers rely on the trust score rather than enforce a specific identification routine themselves. A combination of identification factors selected by the user can be aggregated together to produce a trust score high enough to gain access to a given online service provider. A threshold of identification risk may be required to access a service or account provided by the online service provider.

Disclosed are implementations, including a method that includes monitoring dataflow streams in a network comprising multiple computing nodes, and determining network security characteristics for a dataflow stream, from the monitored dataflow streams, relating to security, authentication, and access events for accessing, via the dataflow stream, one or more of the multiple nodes. The method further includes determining potential violations by the dataflow stream of security policies defined for operation of the network, access functionality for the network, or identity attributes used by the network, based, at least in part, on the determined network security characteristics for the dataflow stream, and based on network-operation data comprising one or more of network security data, network identity data, and network access data. The network-operation data is stored in one or more data storage units in the network, and is configured to manage network access and operation for the multiple computing nodes.

The disclosure related to methods and associated devices and/or systems for authorising at least one operation associated with a device, the device operating in a communication network, such as a user network, that comprises a plurality of devices communicatively coupled to a server computer, such as a control server. The disclosed method comprises generating a data model based on a plurality of patterns of actions for one or more devices among the plurality of devices. The data model is configured to detect and/or store at least one regular pattern of actions for each device among the one or more devices, each action corresponding to an operating state of the device. The disclosed method comprises receiving a request for an operation associated with a first device among the plurality of devices and determining if the received request satisfies a first criterion, the first criterion being based on or associated with the data model. Then, based on a determination that the first criterion is not satisfied, the disclosed method comprises generating at least one query based on a regular pattern of actions of at least one device among the one or more devices and sending the at least one query to a user interface. The disclosed method comprises determining if a response to the at least one query received from the user interface satisfies a second criterion. The second criterion is based on a comparison of the response received with the regular pattern of actions associated with the query in the data model. Then, based on a determination that the second condition is satisfied, the disclosed method comprises authorising the received request for the operation and providing a setting for the first device and/or control server based on the authorisation.

A communication device and system are disclosed for providing communication and data services to residents of a controlled facility. The device can be restricted to communicating only using an internet protocol so as to restrict the device communication to an internal intranet. Wireless access points may be disposed throughout the environment to route calls and data between the device and a central processing center. By converting a protocol of the communications received from the device to a protocol used by the central processing center, minimal modifications to the central processing center are needed to support a wireless communication infrastructure. Many restrictions and safeguards may be implemented within the phone and system in order to prevent improper use.

A method is provided for carrying out a cryptographically secured authentication which complies with the Universal Authentication Framework (UAF) of the FIDO Alliance. It is thus possible to employ an existing infrastructure of the FIDO Alliance and the method can be embedded into the infrastructure using standard interfaces.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to preventing unauthorized access to secured information systems. A computing platform may receive, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal. In response to receiving the request, the computing platform may generate an authentication token in an authentication database and may send a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account. After sending the notification, the computing platform may receive, from the at least one registered device, an authentication response message. If the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received, the computing platform may update the authentication token to indicate that the request to login to the user account has been approved. After updating the authentication token, the computing platform may provide, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface.

Systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and computer-readable media for secure authentication based on identity data stored in a contactless card associated with an account. An application may receive an indication specifying to perform an operation. The application may receive encrypted data from the card. The application may receive an indication that the authentication server decrypted the encrypted data. The application may determine a type of data required to authorize the operation. The application may receive data comprising passport data or driver license data from the card. The application may determine that the data satisfies a rule for authorizing the operation and authorize performance of the operation based on the authentication server verifying the encrypted data and the data satisfying the at least one rule.

A system includes a hardware processor, a virtual host, and a first subsystem. The processor receives a request indicating that a user is seeking to access the first subsystem. The processor uses the virtual host to perform a first authentication of the user, without yet connecting the user to the first subsystem, based on the login credentials of the user. In response to performing the first authentication, the virtual host provides the user with access to the first subsystem. The first subsystem then generates a key associated with the user and stores the key in a database. The first subsystem splits the key into a first part and a second part. The first subsystem additionally sends the first part to the user, for storage in an authentication string stored in a device of the user. The first subsystem also stores the second part in a second authentication server.

Systems and methods for establishing a secure communication network at a first location are provided. For example, a risk mitigation computing device may deploy, at the first location, a pre-configuration routine to access a risk assessment computer system that is remote from the first location. Based on the pre-configuration routine, the risk mitigation computing device may automatically generate a virtual private network (VPN) with the risk assessment computer system. The risk mitigation computing device may initiate an authentication process to confirm an identity of a user operating the risk mitigation computing device. Upon receiving an authentication approval associated with the authentication process, the risk mitigation computing device may establish a segmented home network that includes the secure communication network via VPN to access the risk assessment computer system and a second communication network that does not access the secure communication network.
