    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are described to manage password security. An example apparatus includes a hardware processor to implement a transmission delay manager to invoke a provisional transmission block of a candidate password in response to detecting entry of the candidate password and a vault hash manager to determine hash values of a set of passwords of a list of passwords. The hardware processor further implements a parity verifier to compare the determined hash values to a hash value of the candidate password to determine a count of a number of instances the hash value of the candidate password matches one of the hash values and an alarm action engine to identify a service category type associated with the candidate password, the service category type associated with a threshold and release the provisional transmission block of the candidate password when the count satisfies the threshold.

    Abstract: Technologies for sensor privacy on a computing device include receiving, by a sensor controller of the computing device, sensor data from a sensor of the computing device; determining a sensor mode for the sensor; and sending privacy data in place of the sensor data in response to a determination that the sensor mode for the sensor is set to a private mode. The technologies may also include receiving, by a security engine of the computing device, a sensor mode change command from a user of the computing device via a trusted input/output path of the computing device; and sending a mode command to the sensor controller to set the sensor mode of the sensor based on the sensor mode change command, wherein the sending the mode command comprises sending the mode command over a private bus established between the security engine and the sensor controller. Other embodiments are described herein.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with provision and receipt of virtual sensor service, are disclosed. In embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a virtual sensor server configured to provide virtual sensor service to one or more mobile client devices to virtualize one or more sensors of each of the one or more mobile client devices. Virtualization of the one or more sensors of each of the one or more mobile client devices may comprise provision of sensor data to each of the one or more mobile client devices, or reporting of sensor data to one or more recipients external to the one or more mobile client devices on behalf of respective one or ones of the one or more mobile client devices. The provision or the reporting supersedes the corresponding sensor on the respective one or more of the mobile client devices. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage password security. An example apparatus includes means for invoking a provisional transmission block of a password associated with a user in response to detecting entry of the password, the password identified as new or changing and means for identifying a service category type associated with the password, the service category type associated with a threshold, the threshold determined by a security risk for the service category. The apparatus further includes means for retrieving a list of password hash values associated with previously used passwords associated with the user, means for comparing the list of password hash values to a hash of the password to determine a count of a number of times the hash value of the password matches a hash value on the list of password hash values. The apparatus further includes means for invoking a permanent block of the password when the count does not satisfy the threshold and means for releasing the provisional block of the password when the count satisfies the threshold.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage password security. An example apparatus includes a password field identifier to: monitor a computing device to detect entry of password information for web services, the password field identifier to identify when the password information for a first one of the web services is new or is changing. When the password information is new or is changing, capture the entered password associated with the first one of the web services. The example apparatus further includes a password linkage monitor to store a hash value of the captured password in a password vault and associate the stored hash value of the captured password with the first one of the web services.
