    Abstract: Secure interactions between a client device executing an application and a remote server associated with the application are enabled without credentials such as passwords. The application may acquire an encryption key pair, store a first key of the pair on the client device, and secure access to it by associated biometric data. The second key of the pair is stored on the remote server in association with the user's account. Responsive to a request on the application for an action that requires authentication with the remote server, the user must input biometric data which, only if verified, enables access to use the first key. The first key is then used to encrypt authentication data for submission to the remote server. The server accesses the public key and uses it to decrypt the data and verify the source of the request. If verified, the server then authorizes the requested action.

    Abstract: A variety of different mobile computing devices, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone, may be used in a mixed set of computing environments. At least some of the computing environments may be hostile computing environments where users of the mobile computing devices may be exposed to unknown risks. Furthermore, the mobile computing devices may be unable to determine if a network in a particular computing environment is in fact the network the mobile device determines it to be. A beacon device may be attached to a network and provide mutual authentication for mobile devices in the computing environment. Various security policies may be adjusted as a result of the user device and the beacon device successfully authenticating the other device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to bootstrapping user authentication. A first security credential is received for a user account from a user. A first application is then authenticated with another computing device using the first security credential. After authenticating the first application, a bootstrap request is then sent to the other computing device for a second security credential to authenticate a second application without using the first security credential. The bootstrap request specifies a bootstrap session identifier. The second security credential is then received from the other computing device.

    Abstract: A digital content provider is configured to identify, based at least in part on various customer user profiles, digital content that is to be pre-loaded onto one or more customer computing devices in advance of the digital content being available for at least one mode of consumption by the one or more computing devices. The digital content provider may use these user profiles, as well as other external information, to identify one or more customers that are to receive the digital content. Subsequently, the digital content provider may download the digital content onto each identified customer's one or more computing devices in advance of the at least one mode of consumption becoming available to the customers. Once the mode of consumption is made available, the digital content provider may enable the use of the pre-loaded digital content.
