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 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:
An approach is provided for automated user authentication for a priority communication session. An authentication platform receives a session request for establishing a priority communication session over a data network between a user device and a service platform. The authentication platform determines network information and device information associated with the session request and the user device, respectively. The authentication platform further determines user history information regarding one or more prior communication sessions of a user of the user device. The authentication platform authenticates the user based on the network information, the device information, and the user history information for establishing the priority communication session.

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:
A server is configured to receive a query from a first device, the query including an identifier, associated with a second device, information regarding a geographic radius, and information regarding a geographic position. The server is further configured to determine a first proximity based on the information regarding the geographic radius and based on the information regarding the geographic position; determine a second proximity, associated with the second device; determine a value based on the first proximity and the second proximity. The value may indicate a likelihood that the first proximity is within the second proximity. The server is further configured to provide proximity information to the first device, the proximity information including the value.
Abstract:
A device may receive a connection request including a digital certificate from an endpoint for establishing a secure connection for a communication, the digital certificate including a digital certificate chain identifying one or more certificate authorities associated with the digital certificate. The device may determine whether the digital certificate is valid based on the digital certificate chain identifying one or more certificate authorities trusted by the device. The device may determine whether the connection request includes a valid token. The device may generate a token based on the digital certificate being valid and an absence of a valid token included in the connection request. The device may associate the token with the digital certificate. The device may distribute the token to the endpoint. The device may establish the secure connection with the endpoint using the token associated with the digital certificate.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for causing an extension of secure emergency network resources via one or more trusted point of presence. The approach involves determining a networking context, wherein the networking context initiates a request to join an extension mesh network to a currently trusted network. The approach also involves determining a target network trust level associated with the networking context, the currently trusted network, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves selecting the extension mesh network based on the target network trust level. The approach also involves initiating a joining of the extension mesh network to the currently trusted network.
Abstract:
A device may receive a request for a collaboration session. The device may authenticate a user for the collaboration session. The device may generate a trust-score associated with the collaboration session based on authenticating the user. The trust-score may be associated with a security level for the collaboration session. The security level may be associated with one or more capabilities of the collaboration session. The device may assign the user to a session role associated with the collaboration session. The session role may be associated with the one or more capabilities of the collaboration session. The device may provide information associated with the collaboration session based on the security level for the collaboration session and/or the session role assigned to the user.
Abstract:
An approach for multi-sensor multi-factor identity verification. An identity verification platform determines biometric data associated with a user from one or more sources. The one or more sources are associated with one or more respective network sessions. The platform generates one or more respective trust scores for the one or more sources, the one or more respective network sessions, or a combination thereof based on one or more contextual parameters associated with the user, the one or more sources, the one or more respective network sessions, or a combination thereof. Then the platform verifies an identity of the user based on the biometric data and the one or more respective trust scores.
