Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for controlling access to an electronic device based on biometric input are described. An example of such a method includes receiving a current biometric input, determining template similarity scores for the current biometric input, if at least one template similarity score satisfies a template similarity score criterion, then updating a false user counter value in a first numerical direction and performing an authentication process on the current biometric input, else, determining stored biometric input similarity scores for the current biometric input, if at least one stored biometric input similarity score satisfies a stored biometric input similarity score criterion, then maintaining the false user counter value, else, replacing a previously stored biometric input with the current biometric input, and updating the false user counter value in a second numerical direction opposite to the first numerical direction.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for providing security for an electronic device are described. An example of a method includes monitoring, by the electronic device, a status of the electronic device for one or more threats to a security of the electronic device, detecting, by the electronic device, the one or more threats to the security of the electronic device based on the status of the electronic device and on one or more security policies associated with the electronic device, and self-enforcing, by the electronic device, the one or more security policies by implementing one or more targeted security actions, as indicated by the one or more security policies, to selectively alter the status of the electronic device, based on the detected one or more threats to the security of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A mobile device may include a plurality of sensors and a processor. The processor may be configured to determine trust data for an asset based upon inputs from the plurality of sensors, determine whether an asset is accessible or not accessible based upon evaluating the trust data with a trust determination algorithm, and continuously update the trust data to continue to allow access to the asset or revoke access to the asset based upon the inputs from the plurality of sensors.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems are provided for image processing. For instance, a process can include obtaining, from one or more image sensors, an image of an environment. The process can further include detecting a first visual code in the image; decoding the first visual code; verifying safety of contents of the first visual code; determining that the contents of the first visual code contain a uniform resource locator (URL); and prefetching data linked by the URL based on verifying the safety of the contents of the first visual code.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating self-managed trust in Internet-of-Things networks are disclosed herein. An example method of trust management at a network manager includes enrolling a network endpoint with a network managed by the network manager. The example method also includes receiving trusted reference information for the network endpoint based on enrolling the network endpoint. Additionally, the example method includes performing verification of the network endpoint based on at least one of the trusted reference information or an attestation received from the network endpoint. Further, the example method includes enforcing policies to the network endpoint based on a result of the verification. Such trust management may improve privacy and security at the network, as well as reduce latency in responding to trust incidents.
