    Abstract: A technique uses a managed computing device to extend management control by an organization to IoT (Internet of Things) devices in a local environment of the computing device. The computing device discovers any local IoT devices and participates in a communication with a server to bring one or more of the IoT devices under management control. In some examples, extending management control involves enrolling selected IoT devices into a management framework of the organization and directing communications between the server and the respective IoT devices through the managed device, which provides a point-of-presence for administering management of the selected IoT devices in the local environment.

    Abstract: A technique for managing computerized access includes a first computing device that receives location information from a second computing device that shares its network connection with the first computing device. The first computing device applies the location information received from the second computing device when requesting access to a resource on the network. The first computing device thus effectively leverages the presence of the second computing device and its location information to increase authentication strength and/or to facilitate the administration of access rights.

    Abstract: A technique for performing authentication includes a first device receiving security data from a second device that shares its network connection with the first device. The first device applies the security data received from the second device when requesting authentication to a secured resource on the network. For example, the security data may include a token code or other data that may be used as a token, such as identification information about the second device.

    Abstract: A technique for managing communications over a network maintains multiple network paths simultaneously, exchanging the same data redundantly through the network paths and allowing a receiver to select one of the network paths as its source of data. In the event that a first, currently-selected network path becomes weak, for example, the receiver automatically and seamlessly switches its source of data to a second network path, while the first network path remains operational.
