The present disclosure provides a system and method for delegating authority to cloud IoT devices, with such delegated authority enabling the cloud IoT devices to access second cloud services outside of a core network. The IoT device uses its IoT identity to obtain a token for accessing the second service within a predefined time window. The token may be used to access the second service without further authentication by the second service. Accordingly, the IoT device can take particular actions, such as downloading files, etc., during the predefined time window. After the predefined time window, the IoT device may no longer access the second service without obtaining another token.

An identity authentication method, includes: at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory, the electronic device coupled with a display and one or more input devices: receiving an identity authentication request; in response to receiving the identity authentication request, performing an interactive authentication information exchange between the electronic device and a user, including: displaying, on the display, first visual information in a first manner; displaying, on the display, the first visual information in a second manner that is distinct from the first manner, wherein the first visual information displayed in the second manner includes a timing characteristic that is absent from the first visual information displayed in the first manner; receiving user input entered in accordance with the first visual information displayed in the second manner; and verifying that the user input conforms to the timing characteristic in the first visual information displayed in the second manner.

A target device is associated with a source device. A system includes a target device that enters an association mode, obtains an identification code, and broadcasts the identification code. A source device receives the broadcast, obtains authorization to associate with the target device, and provides a message to an association server. The association server receives the message and associates the target device and the source device in response thereto.

An Internet of Things (IoT) system includes an application server, an identification information server, a gateway, and a terminal electronic device. The identification information server is configured to generate a plurality of pieces of first identification information, and each piece of first identification information is time-sensitive. The gateway is connected to the application server and stores the pieces of first identification information. The gateway is configured to automatically determine a piece of valid identification information from the pieces of first identification information. The terminal electronic device stores the pieces of first identification information and is configured to automatically and successively select a piece of current identification information from the pieces of first identification information to establish a connection with the gateway. When the current identification information is consistent with the valid identification information, the gateway establishes the connection with the terminal electronic device.

Systems and methods are provided for managing dynamic controls over access to computer resources and, even more particularly, for evaluating and re-evaluating dynamic conditions and changes associated with user sessions. The systems and methods are configured to automatically make a determination as to whether new or additional authentication credentials are required for a user that is already authorized for accessing resources in a user session, in response to triggering events such as the identification of a new or changed condition associated with the user session.

An enterprise owned multi-function device (MFD) is disclosed. For example, the MFD includes, a communication interface to establish a communication session with an authentication server, a re-activation timer, a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to authenticate the enterprise owned MFD over the communication session when the enterprise owned MFD is activated at a remote location of an employee, create a local account of the employee for local authentication, and authorize access to the employee via the local account of the employee until the re-activation timer expires.

Systems and methods of anti-vishing OTP protection via machine learning techniques are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary computer-implemented method may comprise: receiving a permission indicator identifying a permission by the user to detect OTPs and calls being received by a computing device; receiving an indication of an OTP data item being received; processing the OTP data item to determine a time duration during which a particular OTP included therein is valid; utilizing a trained OTP protection machine learning model to determine phone number(s) as presenting a security risk with respect to the OTP data item; and instructing the computing device to commence at least one security measure based at least in part on a contact list updated with an indication that the phone number(s) present a security risk with regard to the particular OTP during the time duration of the particular OTP.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising: receiving private mobile network credentials for accessing a private mobile network by a mobile device configured for machine to machine communications, receiving machine to machine service credentials for accessing a machine to machine service by a machine to machine service application of the mobile device, provisioning the private mobile network credentials to a first private mobile network n response to verifying a request for activating or registering the mobile device to the first private mobile network, and provisioning the machine to machine service credentials to a first machine to machine service entity in response to verifying a request for activating or registering the mobile device to the first machine to machine service.

A system for providing private, secure travel is provided. The system may include a transceiver. The transceiver may be operable to receive and transmit communication from and to a plurality of travelers and a plurality of service providers. The system may include an itinerary booking module. The itinerary booking module may process itinerary communications received from the plurality of travelers. The itinerary booking module may determine a plurality of legs included in each received itinerary. The itinerary booking module may book, via the transceiver, at least one service provider for each leg of each itinerary. The system may include a unique identifier generator. The unique identifier generator may generate a unique identifier for each of the plurality of travelers.
