Aspects of the present disclosure relate to applying access control to streamed media content. A log-in request to a media streaming service is received. A biometric sample is received from a user. The biometric sample is compared to a biometric template to determine whether the user is an authorized user. In response to determining that the user is an authorized user, the biometric sample is analyzed to determine an age of the user. Access control is then applied to media content accessed through the media streaming service based on the determined age.

A method and system for improving a router based search query is provided. The method includes identifying a Web page retrieved during a Web query received from a network router device and analyzing historical Web pages retrieved during historical search queries associated with a search engine router and the network router device. The Web page is ranked with respect to the historical Web pages and the Web page is tagged with a first domain comprising a topic associated with the Web page. An address for the network router device is tagged with the first domain and additional domains comprising additional topics associated with additional Web pages accessed via the network router device. In response, the Web page is re-ranked with respect to the historical Web pages.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for cloud integration for autonomous vehicles is provided. An embodiment may include receiving a location for the autonomous vehicle from a global positioning system, may also include determining a rule area in which the autonomous vehicle is located based on the received location, may include identifying a traffic rule set associated with the determined rule area, may also include, in response to determining that the identified traffic rule set is not available for the determined rule area, transmitting a manual mode alert to a user, and may include enabling a manual mode in the autonomous vehicle.

Dynamic security questions. In an embodiment of the invention, a security question and one or more rules for generating an answer to the security question are received. The security question and the rules for generating and answer to the security question are associated with security credentials of a user. For authentication, a first answer to a security question associated with a user is received. One or more rules for generating an answer to the security question are retrieved. A second answer to the security question is generated, based on the retrieved rules. The first answer is compared with the second answer, and the user is authenticated, based on the first answer matching the second answer.

Providing access to electronic information. A first password string associated with a user is received. A second password string associated with the user and a rule for configuring and generating a third password string from the second password string is retrieved from a database. The rule specifies a dynamic element to insert in the second password string based on first contextual information associated with the user. The value of the specified dynamic element is determined based on second contextual information associated with the user. Based on the rule, the third password string is configured and generated from the second password string. It is determined that the first password string matches the third password string. Access to the electronic information is granted.

Dynamic password generation

Providing access to electronic information. A first password string and a rule for configuring and generating a second password string from the first password string, are received from a user. The rule specifies a dynamic element to insert at a position in the first password string, based on first contextual information associated with the user. The value of the specified dynamic element is determined based on second contextual information associated with the user. Upon receiving a third password string, the second password string is configured and generated from the first password string, based on the rule, by: selecting the specified dynamic element based on the first contextual information; inserting the selected dynamic element in the first password string; and determining the value of the selected dynamic element based on the second contextual information. If the third password string matches the second password string, access to the electronic information is granted.

Generating and authenticating a dynamic password. A first password string is received from a user. One or more string generation rules with corresponding reference character positions of the first password string are received. The first password string, the string generation rules, and the corresponding reference character positions of the first password string are associated with login credentials of a user. For authentication, a first password string associated with a user is received. A second password string is generated, based on a partial password string and one or more string generation rules, with corresponding reference character positions of the partial password string, all associated with the user. The first password string is compared with the second password string, and the user is authenticated if the strings match.

An embodiment of the invention pertains to a method that includes an operating system, program components running on the operating system, and a file system associated with one or more files. Responsive to a write request sent from a specified program component to the operating system, in order to write specified data content to a given file, the method determines whether the write request meets a criterion, which is derived from the identity of at least one of the specified program component, and the given file. If the criterion is met, a message is immediately sent to release the specified program component from a wait state. Data portions of the specified data content are then selectively written to a storage buffer, and subsequently written from the buffer to the given file.
