A communication system and a comparison method for securing a communication path for a legitimate user via a terminal apparatus (“TA”). A vehicle-mounted communication device (“VMCD”) transmits a device ID identifying the VMCD to a TA, acquires a terminal ID from the TA, and transmits the device ID and the terminal ID acquired from the TA to a central apparatus. The TA transmits a terminal ID identifying the TA to the VMCD, acquires a device ID from the VMCD, and transmits the terminal ID and the device ID acquired from the VMCD to the central apparatus. The central apparatus receives a device ID and a terminal ID transmitted from the VMCD and a device ID and a terminal ID transmitted from the TA, and compares the device ID and the terminal ID received from the VMCD with the device ID and the terminal ID received from the TA.

A system and method for providing automatic setup of a remote patient care environment. Connectivity to a centralized server over a network connection is confirmed. Data reporting for a patient by one or more monitoring devices that are wirelessly connectable is induced through control provided through a user interface. Each of the devices is registered as the device attempts to establish a wireless connection and report the data conditioned on permission for access. Upon granting of the permission for access, the device is wirelessly connected and the data is subsequently received over the wireless connection.

Systems and methods for recording a meeting using a retroactive record feature. The present technology provides for improved systems and methods for providing a recording of a virtual meeting, where a selection to initiate the recording from the beginning or an earlier time in the meeting from a current time may be received after the virtual meeting has started. The system may process received meeting content streams to generate a plurality of data segments that may collectively form a meeting recording. Each data segment, for example, may include meeting content associated with a particular user/attendee and associated with a timestamp and/or time duration. In some examples, the plurality of data segments may be stored on a blockchain, which may provide an immutable meeting record that may be concatenated together and made available for playback based on a selection to record the meeting and consent given by the users/attendees.

A wireless communication network serves a wireless user device with a wireless communication service from a wireless network slice that includes a Virtual Network Function (VNF). The VNF maintains hardware-trust with a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger maintains hardware-trust with the VNF. The VNF delivers the wireless communication service to the wireless user device from the wireless network slice. The VNF generates slice data that characterizes the service delivery. When the VNF maintains the hardware-trust with the distributed ledger, the VNF transfers the slice data to the distributed ledger. When the distributed ledger maintains the hardware-trust with the VNF, the distributed ledger stores the slice data.

A device includes memory and a processor. The device receives biometric information. The device receives location information. The device analyzes the received biometric information with stored biometric information. The device analyzes the received location information with stored location information. The device determines whether the received biometric information matches the stored biometric information. The device determines whether the received location information matches the stored location information. The device sends an electronic communication that indicates whether the received biometric information matches the stored biometric information and whether the received local information matches the stored location information.

Provided is a process that establishes user identities within a decentralized data store, like a blockchain. A user's mobile device may establish credential values within a trusted execution environment of the mobile device. Representations of those credentials may be generated on the mobile device and transmitted for storage in association with an identity of the user established on the blockchain. Similarly, one or more key-pairs may be generated or otherwise used by the mobile device for signatures and signature verification. Private keys may remain resident on the device (or known and input by the user) while corresponding public keys may be stored in associated with the user identity on the blockchain. A private key is used to sign representations of credentials and other values as a proof of knowledge of the private key and credential values for authentication of the user to the user identity on the blockchain.

A diamond asset comprising one or more diamonds and an encryption chip is used to asset-back a cryptographic token that can be used to conduct transactions. The cryptographic token is written to a blockchain using a smart contract that is configured to enable a transaction associated with the token in response to two or more of: a signature by the encryption chip, a signature by the owner of the diamond asset, and a validation of a visual layout of the diamond asset.

Arrangements for controlling access to a protected entity include receiving a redirected client request to access the protected entity that includes a public key of the client; granting, in response to the received redirected request, access tokens of a first type to a client using the public key of the client; identifying a conversion transaction identifying a request to convert the first type of access tokens with access tokens of a second type, the transaction designating the protected entity; determining a conversion value for converting the first-type access tokens into second-type access tokens based on at least one access parameter; converting, using the conversion value, a first sum of the first-type access tokens into a second sum of second-type access tokens; and granting the client access to the protected entity when the sum of second-type of access tokens is received as a payment from the protected entity.

An access control system and methods according to at least one embodiment leverage wireless access credentials to allow a user to securely gain access to a secured area using his or her mobile device. As such, a credentialed mobile device may permit access to the secured area without requiring a real-time connection to a credential management system and/or an administrative system.

Methods and systems are provided for a browser in a client device that receives a user interface script-code snippet from a web page. A chain logic engine determines whether an in-memory map indicates an output value of prior execution of the UI script-code snippet. If the in-memory map does indicate the output value, it is returned from the in-memory map to generate the user interface. If not, the engine determines whether an in-local storage map indicates the prior executed snippet output. If the in-local storage map indicates the prior executed snippet output, it is returned from the in-local storage map to generate the user interface, and it is stored in the in-memory map. If not, the UI script-code snippet is executed to generate the output value, which is used to generate the user interface, and is stored in the in-memory map and in the in-local storage map.
