摘要:
There is disclosed a method and system for use in authenticating an entity in connection with a computerized resource. An authentication request is received from entity for access to computerized resource. An input signal is received from a communications device associated with entity. The input signal comprises current location of communications device. The current location of communications device is derived from input signal. A location history in connection with communications device is captured. The location history comprises a record of discrete locations visited by communications device over a period of time. An analysis is performed between current location of the communications device and location history in connection with communications device. An authentication result is generated based on analysis between current location of communications device and location history in connection with communications device. The authentication result can be used for authenticating entity.

A method, system and computer program product for use in managing policies is disclosed. Policies associated with a communications device are correlated with respective locations. The location of the communications device is determined. The policy correlated with the determined location is applied to the communications device.

There is disclosed a method, system and a computer program product for use in authenticating an entity. An authentication request is received from the entity. Information in connection with the entity is acquired from an external source. Based on the information, a risk score is set such that the riskiness of the authentication request can be readily deduced therefrom.

There is disclosed a method and system for use in authenticating an entity. An authentication request is received from the entity. An input signal is received from a communications device associated with the entity. The input signal comprises the current location of the communications device. The current location of the communications device is derived from the input signal. Based on the current location of the communications device, an event is detected at substantially the same location as the current location of the communications device. An analysis is performed between the current location of the communications device and the event. An authentication result is generated based on the analysis between the current location of the communications device and the event. The authentication result can be used for authenticating the entity.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method and system for use in authenticating an entity. An entity location history is stored comprising a historical record of locations visited by the entity. An authentication request is received from the entity. A pattern of recent locations visited by the entity indicative of irregular behavior is detected. An analysis is performed between the pattern of recent locations indicative of irregular behavior and the entity location history for establishing the riskiness of the authentication request. An authentication result is generated based on the analysis between the pattern of recent locations indicative of irregular behavior and the entity location history.

Embodiments relate to the generation of alerts in an event management system based upon risk. When an event device associated with the event management system, presents a logon page to a client device, the event device includes a beacon as part of the page to monitor and collect web device profile characteristics related to the client device. In response to a logon attempt by the client device, an event management device receives a notification regarding logon attempt and a risk assessment associated with the web device profile characteristics of the client device. Based upon a correlation of the notification and the corresponding risk assessment, the event management device can generate an alert, such as a SIEM alert, and can include an indication of priority, whether relatively low or high, and/or a confidence factor, whether or not the alert can be suppressed as part of the alert.

An improved technique authenticates a user based on an ability to corroborate previous transaction data sent by a user device. Along these lines, the improved technique makes use of an independent information source for verifying the accuracy of previous transaction data obtained by a given collector. For example, when a collector of location data is a GPS unit of a cell phone, an independent information source may be a cell tower closest to the cell phone at the time of the transaction. While location data provided by the cell tower may not be as precise as that provided by the GPS unit, such data is useful for corroborating the location data from the GPS unit. In this scenario, if the data provided by the cell tower fails to corroborate that provided by the GPS unit, then the GPS unit adds significant risk to authenticating the user.

A method is used in validating association of client devices with sessions. Information of a client device executing a user agent is gathered by a server for creating a device identifier for the client device upon receiving a request from the user agent for establishing a session between the user agent and the server. The device identifier includes information identifying the client device. The device identifier is associated with the session. The client device is validated by the server upon receiving subsequent requests from the client device during the session. Validating the client device includes gathering information of the client device sending each subsequent request for creating a device identifier for the client device and comparing the device identifier created from the information gathered during each subsequent request with the device identifier associated with the session.

A method is performed by a computer in communication with a hardware security module (HSM). The method includes (a) running a process virtual machine (PVM) on the computer, the PVM being configured to execute portable bytecode instructions within a PVM environment and (b) executing, within the PVM environment, instructions for (1) reading encrypted instruction code from data storage of the computer, (2) sending the encrypted instruction code to the HSM, (3) in response, receiving decrypted instruction code from the HSM, and (4) injecting the decrypted instruction code within an application running in the PVM environment for execution by the PVM. Embodiments are also directed to analogous computer program products and apparatuses.

A modular virtualization platform is provided for secured communications between a user device and an application server. A client-side computing device performs secured communications during a virtual session with an application server across a network. The client-side computing device loads a virtual machine client; and selects a remote module to serve as a virtualization server for the virtual session based on one or more performance factors. The virtual session is established with the selected module, and secured communications can occur between the client-side computing device and the application server via the virtual session of the selected module. The performance factors can be collected from a plurality of modules using a peer-to-peer gossip-based state notification process. A route list preferably stores the performance factors for a plurality of modules. The route list can contain pointers to a plurality of remote modules in a plurality of virtualization platforms, to increase reliability.
