    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing a network through use of a security device that includes, or has access to, a blockchain node. The security device may manage a network of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices in a home or other environment. The security device may act as an intermediary to manage secure, trusted communications between the IoT device(s) and external service(s). The security device may also provide network security features such as a network firewall. In some implementations, the security device may run a blockchain node, and the blockchain could be used to establish a verifiable home identity. The security device may interact with external resources and/or services, such as utility services, e-commerce services, and so forth, through this secure mechanism.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for account access security at a network access device. The method includes receiving data indicating that a particular user has initiated a particular request at an access point; obtaining sensor data that is generated by one or more sensors of the access point proximate to a time that the particular user initiated the particular request; classifying the particular request as a particular type of request; in response to determining that the particular request is classified as the particular type of request, initiating an exception processing mode in which requests that are initiated by the users at the access point result in the generation and output of inaccurate completion data to mimic completion of the request; processing the particular request using the exception processing mode; and providing the inaccurate completion data generated by the access point for the particular request.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, using smart contract(s) on a distributed ledger (e.g., blockchain). Smart contract(s) executing on a distributed ledger may control access to one or more devices in a home or other environment. The smart contract(s) may employ information stored on the distributed ledger and information in a transaction sent to the smart contract(s) to determine whether particular user(s) and/or process(es) may access the device(s), issue commands to the device(s), access data generated by the device(s), and/or control the device(s). The smart contract(s) may provide a secure portal through which user(s) and/or service(s) may access device(s) for command and control of such device(s), and secure access may be based on permission information that is specified or provided by an owner or operator of the device(s) and that is stored on the distributed ledger.

    Abstract: A system that detects and reduces impaired driving includes a first sensor that detects information indicative of a sleep pattern of a user, and a second sensor that detect vehicle operation information. The system also include a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The mobile electronic device includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine that the user is impaired based on the information indicative of the sleep pattern of the user, and determine that a vehicle is in operation based on the vehicle operation information. The instructions also cause the processor to perform an action to reduce impaired driving in response to determining that the user is impaired and that the vehicle is in operation.
