Abstract:
Apparatus, systems and methods may provide a browser interface to detect an attempt by web content to manipulate data in a local data store. In addition, the data may be classified into a category if the data is remotely accessible. Additionally, a security policy may be applied to the data based on the category. In one example, a separator may separate the data from other data based on the category, the data may be encrypted/decrypted based on the category, and/or context information and user input may be determined to apply the security policy further based on the context information and the user input.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure describes a continuous authentication confidence module. A system may include user device including processor circuitry configured to determine presence data; a confidence factor including at least one of a sensor configured to capture sensor input and a system monitoring module configured to monitor activity of the user device; memory configured to store a confidence score and an operating system; and a continuous authentication confidence module configured to determine the confidence score in response to an initial authentication of a specific user, update the confidence score based, at least in part, an expectation of user presence and/or selected presence data, and notify the operating system that the authentication is no longer valid if the updated confidence score is within a tolerance of a session close threshold; the initial authentication configured to open a session, the confidence score configured to indicate a current strength of authentication during the session.

Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure describes technologies for securely storing and using biometric authentication information, such as biometric reference templates. In some embodiments, the technologies include a client device that stores one or more biometric reference templates in a memory thereof. The client device may transfer such templates to an authentication device. The transfer may be conditioned on verification that the authentication device includes a suitable protected environment for the templates and will execute an acceptable temporary storage policy. The technologies may also include an authentication device that is configured to temporarily store biometric reference templates received from a client device in a protected environment thereof. Upon completion of biometric authentication or the occurrence of a termination event, the authentication devices may delete the biometric reference templates from the protected environment.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for facilitating context-based access control of resources for according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes receiving a first request to access a resource of a plurality of resources. The first request may be associated with one or more contexts corresponding to a user placing the first request at a computing device. The method may further include evaluating the one or more contexts. The evaluation of the one or more contexts may include matching the one or more contexts with one or more access policies associated with the requested resource. The method may further include accepting the first request if the one or more contexts satisfy at least one of the access policies.
