Computer-implemented methods for a user-friendly and self-managed CAPTCHA system. Aspects include storing a copy of an image selected from a set of images as a source image. Aspects further include generating a reference image by applying an image obfuscation technique to the image and a challenge image by applying a different image obfuscation technique to the image. Aspects include dividing the challenge image into partitions and placing the partitions randomly on a virtual canvas. Aspects include displaying the reference image and the virtual canvas on a user device requesting to access a protected resource. Aspects include receiving a solution image comprising the partitions of the challenge image arranged by a user from the user device. Aspects also include generating a similarity score by comparing the source image and the solution image. Aspects further include determining that the similarity score is below a threshold value and performing a security action.

User-friendly and self-managed challenge-response authentication

An approach is provided for protecting data stored by a non-volatile solid-state memory from an unauthorized access. In response to a trigger event indicating an increased probability of the unauthorized access, the memory is destroyed by directing through the memory an electric current exceeding a rated current of the memory, and testing an operability of the memory, where the destruction is completed when the test indicates lacking operability of the memory.

Protecting a non-volatile solid-state memory from an unauthorized access

An approach is disclosed that determines that a change is needed to a remote system that is managed by a change management system that manages changes to many remote systems. A change management time window when the change is scheduled to be performed at the selected remote system is identified and a monitoring request is sent to the remote system. The monitoring request causes the remote system to run a monitoring process. The change management system receives an activity notification that was identified by the monitoring process. In response to the activity notification matching the change needed, the change scheduled at the selected remote system is canceled by the change management system.

Automatic identification of changes on servers with scheduled maintenance

Embodiments relate to preventing access of removed users to messages shared in a group chat with an end-to-end encryption. An aspect includes, responsive to creation of a group having members for communicating using encryption keys, receiving a request to remove a given member of the members from the group, the given member being associated with a computer system, at least one message of the group being accessible to the given member. An aspect includes identifying the encryption keys associated with the given member and causing a deletion on the computer system of the encryption keys associated with the given member in response to the request. An aspect includes confirming the deletion of the encryption keys on the computer system associated with the given member. The deletion of the encryption keys on the computer system prevents access of the computer system to at least one message of the group.

The exemplary embodiments disclose a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for managing user commands. The exemplary embodiments may include a user giving one or more commands to one or more devices, collecting data of the one or more commands, extracting one or more features from the collected data, and determining which one or more of the commands should be executed on which one or more of the devices based on the extracted one or more features and one or more models.

In an approach for multifactor authorization on hardware calls of resources, a processor receives a request for a hardware resource from a plurality of hardware resources being monitored. A processor calculates a risk level associated with the hardware resource of the request based on a respective risk level data repository. A processor, in response to a determination the risk level requires multifactor authorization, determines that a user associated with the request is logged in. A processor identifies a mechanism used by the user to log in. A processor determines whether a challenge associated with the multifactor authorization based on the mechanism is successful. A processor, in response to a determination the challenge associated with the multifactor authorization is successful, enables access to the hardware resource of the request.

Multifactor authorization on accessing hardware resources

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to three-dimensional (3D) printing and, more particularly, to robotic support for 3D prints. For example, a computer-implemented method includes identifying, by the computing device, at least one structure in the 3D object source file requiring support for printing the at least one structure by a 3D printer; adding, by the computing device, to a 3D print file an instruction to request deployment of a support structure at a particular location to support the at least one structure by the 3D printer; and providing to the 3D printer, by the computing device, the 3D print file with the instruction to request deployment of the support structure at a particular location to support the at least one structure by the 3D printer.

A random password policy for a specific user associated with an entity is generated based on a global password requirement. A new password created by the specific user based on the generated random password policy is identified. That the new password complies with a set of requirements specified by the generated random password policy is confirmed.

Unique password policy creation

A dynamic user interface (UI) input system and method for smart glasses based on availability states of a user is provided. In embodiments, a method includes determining, by a computing device of smart glasses, an initial availability state of a user's hands for a user interface (UI) navigation event based on incoming image data; selecting, by the computing device, a UI configuration and a control profile for the UI navigation event from stored UI configurations and control profiles of the user based on the initial availability state of the user's hands; and initiating, by the computing device, the UI navigation event based on the selected UI configuration and the control profile, wherein content is displayed in a virtual UI of the smart glasses according to the UI configuration, and UI navigation by the user is controlled based on the control profile.
