Techniques to provide evidence-based dynamic scoring to limit guesses in knowledge based authentication are disclosed herein. In some aspects, an authenticator may receive an input from a user in response to a presentation of a personal question that enables user access to a restricted resource. The authenticator may determine that the input is not equivalent to a stored value, and thus is an incorrect input. The authenticator may then determine whether the input is similar to a previous input received from the user. A score may be assigned to the input. When the input is determined to be similar to the previous input, the score may be reduced. Another request for an input may be transmitted by the authenticator when a sum of the score and any previous scores of the session is less than a threshold.

Systems and methods that establish a secured compartment that manages sensitive user transactions/information on a user's machine. The secured compartment qualifies user interaction with the machine, and separates such qualified interaction from other user activity on the machine. A user is switched to such secured compartment upon occurrence of a predetermined event, such as in form of: an explicit request (e.g., a secure attention sequence); an implicit request (e.g., inference of user activities); and presence of a peripheral device that is bound to the secured compartment (e.g., a USB)—wherein such actions typically cannot be generated by an application running outside the secured compartment.

Confidential information is provided to a proxy computer in communication between an unsecured computer and a computer having information desired by a user. The proxy computer receives the confidential information in either an encrypted form or having arbitrary information combined therewith. The proxy computer ascertains the confidential information and forwards it to the computer having the information desired by the user.

A system and method for data distribution is disclosed. A bulletin board is employed to maintain a list of requests from nodes in the system. The requests indicate data requested and identify the node making the request. Nodes are able to post requests for data as long as they maintain a minimum performance level. Additionally, the nodes periodically check in with the bulletin board and receive the list of requests from the bulletin board. On determining to satisfy a particular request by a node, the node (serving node) contacts a requesting node (identified in the request) and transfers the requested data to the requesting node. After successful completion of the transfer, the requesting node reports to the bulletin board that the node has filled the request and the request is removed from the list of requests.

A computer-implemented method and apparatus are provided for populating an electronic form from an electronic image. The method and apparatus identify a size, orientation and position of an object within the electronic image, and identify information elements from pixels within the image that correspond to the object. Fields of the electronic form are displayed to a user along with the identified information elements through a graphical user interface. The information elements are parsed into tagged groups of different information types. At least some of the fields of the electronic form are populated with the tagged groups to produce a populated form. The user is allowed to edit the populated fields through the graphical user interface.

A popularity determination module (PDM) is described which reduces the effectiveness of statistical guessing attacks. The PDM operates by receiving a password (or other secret information item) from a user. The PDM uses a model to determine whether the password is popular among a group of users. If so, the PDM may ask the user to select another password. In one implementation, the model corresponds to a probabilistic model, such a count-min sketch model. The probabilistic model provides an upper-bound assessment of a number of times that a password has been encountered. Further, the probabilistic model provides false positives (in which passwords are falsely assessed as popular) at a rate that exceeds a prescribed minimum rate. The false positives are leveraged to reduce the effectiveness of statistical guessing attacks by malicious entities.

摘要:
Systems and methods that resist malicious attacks on an intelligent storage device via an access control component that supplies security at a dual layer of defense. Such dual layer defense encompasses both resistance to brute force (e.g., unauthorized users), and resistance to a replay attack (e.g., a malicious code residing on a machine that hosts the intelligent storage device.) Accordingly, an access control component includes an anti malicious user component and an anti malicious code component, which can resist malicious attacks from both a person and a host unit with a malicious code residing thereon.
