    Abstract: A system and method that detects malicious account creation in a web-based platform. A method includes detecting suspicious events associated with an account creation process using a username classifier that evaluates a username used to create a new account, an IP address classifier that evaluates an IP address used to create the new account, and a domain classifier that evaluates a domain from an email address used to create the new account; analyzing each detected suspicious event with a density analysis classifier to determine if each detected suspicious event comprises a malicious event based on a density of detected suspicious events from a collections of account creation processes; and determining an alert condition based on at least one malicious event detection.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining physical locations associated with activities detected on mobile devices is disclosed. The method includes accessing at least one enterprise rule set which is based on a plurality of security vulnerability events, and for monitoring at least one application used on the mobile devices. Device data indicative of one or more actions performed on a mobile device and a time associated with each action is used to detect whether actions performed on the mobile device breach a rule of the enterprise rule set. Geolocation information associated with the mobile device at the time associated with the breach is received based on an identifier associated with the mobile device or with wireless network access points in range of the mobile device. The received geolocation information, enterprise rules, and device data is used determine if a security vulnerability is associated with the mobile device.

    Abstract: Methods described herein relate to identifying an audio rogue base station intercept of a call using a modified distance bounding algorithm. Methods may include: establishing a shared resource for a session with a remote end device; selecting a nonce and provide the nonce to the remote end device; generating a sequence of bits; dividing the sequence of bits into a predetermined number of sub-sequences; performing a bit exchange with the remote end device using dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones; determining, from the bit exchange, an average time of transmission; and identifying the presence or absence of an adversary intercepting the session.

    Abstract: Wireless communication between two electronic devices may be used to determine a distance between the two devices, even in the presence of an otherwise-disruptive attacker. A wireless receiver system of one device may receive a true wireless ranging signal from a first transmitting device and a false wireless ranging signal from an attacker. The wireless receiver system may correlate the wireless signals with a known preamble sequence and perform channel estimation using the result, obtaining a channel impulse response for the wireless signals. The wireless receiver system may filter the channel impulse response for the plurality of wireless signals by removing at least part of the channel impulse response due to the false wireless ranging signal while not removing at least part of the channel impulse response due to the true wireless ranging signal. The receiver system may perform a wireless ranging operation using the filtered channel impulse response.

    Abstract: Systems and methods include a kiosk that performs an electronic payment transaction based on instructions received from a portable device of a user. The system further includes a transmitting device electrically coupled to the kiosk. The transmitting device is configured to transmit a first signal to the portable device at a first direction. The system further includes a receiving device electrically coupled to the kiosk. The receiving device is configured to receive a second signal from the portable device at a second direction. The transmitting device and receiving device are positioned such that the first and second direction enable determination of a position of the user, where the processor enables the electronic payment transaction to be processed only when the portable device is at a location relative to the kiosk. The location is disposed within a transmission path coextensive with both the first direction and the second direction.
