Abstract:
An approach for ensuring the gaze of a user is directed towards a camera during a video conferencing session is described. A gaze detection platform determines a visual focal point of a user with respect to a display based on gaze tracking information, eye-tracking information, or a combination thereof, wherein the user is engaged in a video-based communication session presented on the display. The gaze detection platform further calculates an adjustment to the visual focal point to create a perceived visual focal point of the user with respect to a camera used by the user for the video-based communication session. The adjustment includes adjusting a use of an optical device, a change in a placement of content on the display, a physical movement of the camera, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
One or more first servers may receive a token, generated by a second server based on the second server validating an authorization parameter received by a third server; receive, from the second server, a token parameter, associated with the token and being associated with the authorization parameter and identifying a credential associated with the third server; receive, from the third server, a request to update the credential, the request including the token; validate the token; form an updated credential based on the token parameter and based on validating the token; and provide the updated credential to the third server. The credential may be replaced, by the third server, with the updated credential without interaction with a user of the third server.
Abstract:
A system may be configured to request, from a user device, consent for an application server to output one or more messages to the user device. When requesting the consent, the system may output a consent message associated with the application server. The system may receive, from the user device, an indication of consent, the indication being sent by the user device based on the consent message; and enforce, by the consent gateway device, the consent indicated by the user device. When enforcing the consent, the system may allow or disallow application traffic, from the application server, based on the indication of consent. The application traffic may be associated with the user device.
Abstract:
A device may receive a certificate, such as an X.509 certificate, that includes authentication information. The authentication information may uniquely identify a customer equipment. The device may authenticate the customer equipment using the authentication information. The device may obtain configuration information, associated with configuring the customer equipment to receive a service, based on authenticating the customer equipment using the authentication information. The device may provide the configuration information to permit the customer equipment to be configured to receive the service. The device may provide the service to the customer equipment based on authenticating the customer equipment.
Abstract:
A device may determine that a user device should be authenticated; and determine a confidence measurement based on an established activity pattern of the user device. The confidence measurement may relate to a likelihood that an authorized user of the user device is in possession of the user device. The device may authenticate the user device based on the confidence measurement.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein may provide for affiliation and disaffiliation of devices, such as office communication devices, associated with a user. The affiliation/disaffiliation may be performed using a mobile device (e.g., a smart phone). In one implementation, a method may include receiving a request to affiliate a user with one or more office devices; and receiving context data, from a mobile device, relating to a current context of the mobile device. The method may further include determining, based on the context data, to authorize the affiliation of the user with the one or more office devices; and provisioning, based on the determination to authorize the affiliation, the one or more office devices to customize the one or more office devices for the user.

Abstract:
An approach for enabling multi-factor biometric authentication of a user based on different data capture modalities of a mobile device is described. A biometric enabler receives a request for authentication of a user via a network at a mobile device of the user. The biometric authentication further initiates a capture of media associated with the user at the mobile device based on the request, wherein the capture is based on a capture condition. The biometric enabler also determines, in response to the request, whether the media is associated with different types of biometric information of the user as maintained in association with a resource that requires authentication of the user.
