An authentication system includes an authentication module maintaining a store of credentials for a set of users. In response to an identity specified by credentials provided from a requestor address not being found in the store of credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication failure response. In response to the provided credentials matching selected credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication success response. The authentication system includes an analyzer module configured to determine a number of identity-not-found failures corresponding to a first address, identify a triggering event in response to the number exceeding a predetermined threshold, and, in response to the triggering event, add the first address to a block list. The authentication system includes a query module configured to, in response to a query for a specified address, determine whether the specified address is present in the block list and, if so, instruct transmission of the authentication failure response.

Systems and methods for providing access to media content by connecting, to a public device, a private device that has an installed application associated with the media content. A media guidance application may receive a communication from a private device, running a private interface application, requesting to access content using the public device. In response, the media guidance application may retrieve, at the public device, a public interface application associated with the private interface application, from a content provider of the content. The private interface application may be configured to control a graphical user interface of the public interface application. Accordingly, the user may be able to access content via the public device when the private device is within a predetermined proximity to the public device.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a processor that generates a plurality of pieces of authority information for obtaining user information classified into a plurality of categories, in which the processor generates the authority information to correspond to each of a plurality of the categories.

The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, authorize initiated exchanges of data in real-time based on dynamically generated tokenized data. For example, an apparatus may receive first positional data identifying a first geographic position of a client device and based on the first positional data, the apparatus may determine a value of a parameter characterizing an exchange of data between the client device and a terminal device disposed proximate to the client device during a temporal interval. The apparatus may transmit data requesting a pre-authorization of the data exchange to a computing system, which perform operations that pre-authorize the data exchange in accordance with the parameter value and transmit a digital token representative of the pre-authorized data exchange to the terminal device. The digital token may be valid during the temporal interval and may include a cryptogram associated with the client device.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for secure offline transmission of a plurality of data segments from a sending device to one or more receiving devices. The sending device and the one or more receiving devices may communicate via an offline local network. A secure, encrypted container may be created at the receiving device to temporarily cache the received data segments one at a time and the encrypted storage container prevents access by one or more applications of the receiving device to data stored therein based on storage instructions from the sending device. The encrypted container may be configured to store the data segments such that less than all of the data segments are stored at the receiving device at any one time.

This disclosure is directed to embodiments of systems and methods for containerizing files and managing policy data applied to the resulting containers. In some of the disclosed embodiments, a computing system determines that a file stored in storage medium is to be included in a container to be sent to at least one computing component associated with a device including a user interface. The computing system determines that the file is of a particular type and also determines code that can be used to access files of the particular type. The computing system combines the file and the code into the container such that container is configured to be executed by the at least one computing component so as to cause content of the file to be presented by the user interface. The computing system then sends the container to the at least one computing component. In some implementations, the container may further include policy information defining at least one of whether, how, where, when, or by whom the file can be accessed using the code. A communication link may be established between the computing system and the container at the at least one computing component and an instruction may be sent via the communication link that causes a change to the policy information.

Credential and authentication management in scalable data networks is described, including detecting a request from an extension installed on a browser to access a data network, initiating another request from the extension to a server to retrieve authentication data to access the data network, transferring from the server to the extension the authentication data and an instruction to the extension to generate a further request, transmitting the further request to the data network from the browser, the request comprising the authentication data from the server without manual input of the authentication data, presenting an overlay on the browser, the overlay being configured to indicate a login status associated with the data network, and monitoring a cookie and data transferred between the data network and the browser at an application layer or data layer after access to the data network has been provided to the browser in response to the request.

Systems and methods provide a platform for threat information sharing. A method comprises transmitting an access permission request to a blockchain network. The request asks for access to cyber threat information stored in at least one cyber threat information storage system. The information may come from a plurality of organizations. The blockchain network may include a blockchain ledger storing access control information from the plurality of organizations. Upon receipt of a reference to an access permission token generated by the blockchain network using at least one smart contract, a transaction request to the cyber threat information server may be sent. In response to the transaction request including the reference to the access permission token, the requested cyber threat information may be retrieved from the cyber threat information server.

An ID is managed, and access information including the ID is displayed on a first web browser. Thereafter, in response to reception of an access request by use of the access information from a second web browser, the predetermined web page is displayed on the second web browser, based on the ID included in the access request. Then, in response to completion of predetermined processing which is performed based on the predetermined web page, a first web page is displayed. In a case where display of a second web page, which is provided by a predetermined server, is requested by the user on the first web browser of the apparatus, the first web browser is controlled to perform a display for prompting an access to the predetermined server from another apparatus.

A mechanism for building decentralized computer applications that execute on a distributed computing system. The present technology works within a web browser, client application, or other software and provides access to decentralized computer applications through the browser. The present technology is non-custodial, wherein a public-private key pair, which represents user identity, is created on a client machine and then directly encrypted by a third-party platform without relying on one centralized computing system.
