An approach for determining repeat website users via browser uniqueness tracking includes receiving browser information from a server based on a browser accessing a website. The approach includes creating a browser identifier based on the browser information. The approach includes determining the browser is one of a new visitor and a repeat visitor to the website by comparing the browser identifier to other browser identifiers associated with the website. The approach includes transmitting a message to the server indicating the browser is one of a new visitor and a repeat visitor to the website based on the determining.

Determining repeat website users via browser uniqueness tracking

A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for wireless establishment of identity via bi-directional radio-frequency identification (RFID). The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable for sending device data including at least a username and a password to a transceiver. The method also includes receiving an identifier of an access point in a wireless network from the transceiver, the transceiver sending the device data to the access point via a security server. The device data is sent to the access point based on the identifier of the access point, the access point establishing a secure connection to the computer infrastructure based on the device data received from the transceiver and the computer infrastructure.

Wireless establishment of identity via bi-directional RFID

A system and a method for preventing and/or limiting use of mobile devices are provided. The method includes receiving, by a mobile device, a message indicating that the mobile device is in a certain location, and determining a user-configured security policy of the mobile device based on the certain location. The method further includes at least one of disabling and enabling, by the mobile device, one or more functions of the mobile device based on the determined user-configured security policy.

System and method for preventing and/or limiting use of a mobile device

A tool for establishing a wireless connection from a mobile device to another device in proximity to the mobile device. The mobile device receives requests for data, such as a user profile, medical records, etc. from the device. The mobile device has the ability to register/preapprove the requesting device allowing the device to access the requested data. The mobile device also has the ability to give varying devices different authorization levels. The mobile device has the ability to store the data on another system, and in response to the request, validate the requesting device and the device's authorization level, request the data from the other system through a network, and return the data to the requesting device.

Data management with a networked mobile device

A CAPTCHA challenge tool for determining if a user of a computer is a human or an automated program. The tool presents a set of images. At least a portion of the set of images suggests a chronological sequence when organized correctly. The tool receives a suggested order from the user of the computer. If the suggested order matches the correct order, the tool assumes that the user is a human, if the suggested order does not match the correct order, the tool assumes the user is an automated program.

Advanced CAPTCHA using images in sequence

A CAPTCHA challenge tool for determining if a user of a computer is a human or an automated program. The tool presents to the user a set of audio clips. At least a portion of the set of audio clips suggests a chronological sequence when organized correctly. The tool receives a suggested order from the user of the computer. If the suggested order matches the correct order, the tool assumes that the user is a human, if the suggested order does not match the correct order, the tool assumes the user is an automated program.
