The system can include: a computer program for facilitating sending of an e-mail message to a receiving user, the e-mail message including at least a web address of a trusted provider and instructions about how to securely download encrypted files without the receiving user setting up an account or a password, the transfer of encrypted files being facilitated by a code sent to a telephone of the receiving user.

Method and apparatus for user authentication based on block chain

A user authentication method performed by an authentication management server constituting a block chain network with a target device may comprise receiving, from the target device, a transaction including authentication information of a user and a unique value of the target device; determining a token of the user stored in a smart contract based on the authentication information; and authenticating the user based on validity information of the token, ownership information of the token, and the transaction.

Systems and methods of application single sign on

A method and apparatus of a device that authorizes a device for a service is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device intercepts a request for a web page from a web browser executing on the device, wherein the request includes an indication associated with an authorization request for the service and the web page provides the service. In addition, the device presents an authorization user interface on the device. The device further performs a local authorization using a set of user credentials entered via the authorization user interface. The device additionally performs a server authorization with a server. Furthermore, the device redirects the web browser to the requested web page, wherein the web browser is authorized for the service provided by the web page.

Method and apparatus for accessing authentication credentials within a credential vault

A method at a computing device, the method including detecting, at the computing device, a trigger that authentication is pending for an application or service; indicating a state of a credential vault via a user interface of the computing device; and when the credential vault is in a locked state, activating an authentication mechanism for the credential vault without changing focus on the user interface for the application or service.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface is configured to transmit data to and receive data from a cloud server that provides a cloud service. The processor is configured to receive a token from the cloud server via the communication interface, transmit a request including the token to the cloud server via the communication interface, receive a response including user information from the cloud server via the communication interface, and shift to a login state based on the user information.

System, method and computer readable medium for determining an event generator type
11582139 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Human interaction with a webpage may be determined by processing an event stream generated by the client device during the webpage interaction. A classification server receives the event stream and compares components of the event stream, including components of an event header message, with prerecorded datasets. The datasets include prerecorded event streams having a known interaction type. Training clients may be provided for generating the prerecorded datasets.

Device independent encrypted content access system

Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for retrieving authentication credentials and decryption keys to access remotely stored user-generated content. The systems and methods receive a first authentication credential and access a second authentication credential based on receiving the first authentication credential. The system and methods generate an authentication token and an encryption token. Based on the authentication token, the system and methods access a set of encrypted content and an encrypted content key. The systems and methods decrypt the encrypted content key using the encryption token and decrypt the set of encrypted content using the decrypted content key. At least a portion of the content is presented at the user device.

Secure authentication of devices for Internet of Things

A computer-implemented system and method for secure authentication of IoT devices are disclosed. The method for secure authentication of IoT devices comprises establishing a network connection with a network operator server via a control channel, establishing identity of the network operator server using a pre-shared server key from one or more of pre-shared server keys, establishing identity of the IoT device using a pre-shared client key from one or more of pre-shared client keys and cryptographically generating a session key for a network session to allow secure data exchange between the network operator server and the IoT device. The cryptographically generated session key is used for securely authenticating application running on the authenticated IoT device.
