A computer implemented method, device and computer program device are provided including a processor; a storage medium to store a user defined password (UDP) factor and program instructions accessible by the processor; wherein, responsive to execution of the program instructions, the processor to: generate a first machine generated indicia (MGI) code indicative of the UDP factor; and generate a second MGI code indicative of a time-based one-time password (TOTP) factor; and a display to display the first and second MGI codes during an authentication operation.

Devices and methods to validating multiple different factor categories

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for adding devices to a network via a zero-knowledge protocol are disclosed. One method includes implementing, by a processor, a zero-knowledge protocol configured to establish digital trust relationships between the processor and computing devices attempting to join a network and adding each computing device to the network that successfully establishes a respective digital trust relationship with the processor via the zero-knowledge protocol. Apparatus and computer program products that include hardware and/or software that can perform the methods for adding devices to a network via a zero-knowledge protocol are also disclosed herein.

Adding devices to a network via a zero-knowledge protocol

Restriction-compliant data replication including receiving a request to replicate a dataset of a database that is stored in a cloud-based data warehouse at a first region of a plurality of geographic regions to a second region of the plurality of geographic regions, wherein the second region is subject to persistent storage restrictions different from restrictions of the first region; selecting a replication policy, applicable to the second region, wherein the replication policy specifies replication restrictions that conform to the persistent storage restrictions of the second region; and replicating the dataset from the first region to the second region, including applying the replication policy to the dataset.

Restriction-compliant data replication

In one aspect, a first device includes a surface onto which objects are placeable and plural wireless chargers electrically connectable to each other. The plural wireless chargers are disposed beneath the surface so a second device can be charged while resting on the surface at various locations.

Systems, apparatus, and methods that can elect a broker on a Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) bus are disclosed. One system includes an MQTT bus and a set of client devices on the MQTT bus. Each client device maintains a set of attributes for each other client device and casts one or more votes for a particular client device on the MQTT bus to elect the particular client device as a new broker on the MQTT bus in response to a current broker on the MQTT bus becoming unavailable. The votes cast for the particular client device are based on a first value corresponding to one or more attributes for the particular client device relative to respective second values to the corresponding attribute(s) for each of the other client devices on the MQTT bus as calculated by each respective client device on the MQTT bus.

For detecting and preventing cipher key disclosure, a method detects software code in a copy buffer. In response to detecting the software code, the method detects a cipher key in the software code. In response to detecting the cipher key, the method communicates a cipher alert that the cipher key is in the software code.

Detecting and preventing cipher key disclosure

In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to access a first frame of RGB video content corresponding to a first time, access a first frame of IR video content corresponding to the first time, and access data from a depth sensor corresponding to the first time. The instructions may also be executable to determine whether at least a portion of the first frame of the RGB video content correlates to at least a portion of the first frame of the IR video content and/or the data from the depth sensor. Responsive to a determination that it does, the instructions may be executable to authenticate the RGB video content and indicate the RGB video content as being authenticated via a graphical user interface.

Authentication of RGB video based on infrared and depth sensing

For wireless peripheral connection, a method establishes a plurality of wireless video connections between at least one computer and a breakout device. At least one of the plurality of wireless video connections is inactive. The method polls the at least one inactive wireless video connection within a specified time interval. The method maintains the at least one inactive wireless video connection in response to the polling.
