Disclosed are systems and methods for secure selection of a user profile in a shared context. For example, a method may include: determining, by one or more processors, an association between a user device and a shared user profile; determining, by the one or more processors, that the user device is within a predetermined proximity of a multiuser device; determining, by the one or more processors, the shared user profile associated with the user device as a result of determining that the user device is within the predetermined proximity of the multiuser device; receiving, by the one or more processors, biometric verification from the first user; and activating, by the one or more processors, the first specific user profile associated with the first user on the multiuser device as a result of determining that the first user has successfully provided biometric verification.

Systems and methods are disclosed for cryptographic signing of content requests. One method includes receiving, at a content network, a content request from a publisher website, the publisher website purporting to be associated with a publisher domain. At the content network, a public key may be received associated with the publisher domain. At the content network, at least one policy may be received associated with the publisher domain. It may be determined whether the content request comprises a cryptographic signature. If it is determined that the content request does not comprise a cryptographic signature, content may or may not be provided to the publisher website according to the policy from the publisher domain. If it is determined that the content request comprises a cryptographic signature, the cryptographic signature of the request may be validated using the public key. Upon successfully validating the cryptographic signature of the content request, content maybe provided to the publisher website according to the content request.

Disclosed are systems and methods for managing online identity authentication risk in a nuanced identity system. For example, a method may include receiving a request by a user for a transaction on an electronic platform; determining a risk associated with the requested transaction; determining a current level of assurance associated with the user on the electronic platform; determining that the risk exceeds the current level of assurance; adjusting the current level of assurance such that the adjusted level of assurance exceeds the risk; and executing the requested transaction on the electronic platform after adjusting the current level of assurance.

Systems and methods for enhanced SSO, which can avoid faults in known protocols and standards for access delegation. For example, the enhanced SSO can use a shared security mechanism, such as a keychain or keystore, for sharing vendor identity over mobile applications without some of the pitfalls of using cookies. And, a connector code can bind the mobile applications to each other so that only the enhanced SSO is required for a user to log in to the mobile applications and remain logged in to the applications on one or more mobile devices.

Native single sign-on (SSO) for mobile applications

Computer implemented methods are disclosed for providing geographical information to a user. One method includes observing, via location information generated or obtained through a user's mobile electronic device, a user traverse a preferred user route from the start location to the destination, and saving the preferred user route in relation to the user. The method may predict, based on past behavioral information for the user, a predicted start time of a future trip to the destination and may identify one or more routes from the start location to the destination. In addition, the method may compare, at a time relative to the predicted start time of the future trip, a duration or distance associated with traversing the preferred user route to a duration or distance associated with traversing the fastest route or the shortest route from the start location to the destination.

Systems and methods for authorizing an Internet of Things (IoT) application of an IoT device (such as a smart TV or a set-top box microconsole). Examples can include establishing, by the IoT application, a connection with a mobile application of a mobile device. The connection can be a wireless link that has a maximum range less than or equal to 400 meters (such as a Bluetooth or a near-field communication (NFC) link). Examples can also include sending, by the IoT application, a request to a remote server to return a connector code. The request can include an identification of the wireless link. Examples can also include receiving, by the IoT application, the connector code from the remote server or a second server, and transferring, by the IoT application, the connector code to the mobile application via the wireless link.

A method and system for populating identities in a message service involves registering a user of a first messaging service with a second messaging service. User identities for users other than the registered user may be identified. These user identities may be associated with the first messaging service and may be stored in a list associated with the registered user. It is determined if each identified user identity has a matching user identity associated with the second messaging service. If so, a database associated with the second messaging service is populated with the matching user identities. Determining whether a matching user identity exists may be performed, for example, by making character strings comparisons between user identities or using a database that stores a mapping of first messaging service user identities to second messaging service user identities. The mapping database may be generated as corresponding user identities are discovered.

Enabling identification of online identities between different messaging services

A method for identifying a result responsive to a current location of a client device includes receiving, form a client device and at a host, a search query that includes a point of interest and a current location of the client device. The method also includes automatically updating the search query as the current location of the client device changes and instructing the host to identify a potential location associated with the point of interest and located within a user-defined proximity from the current location of the client device.

User registration notification between different communication services

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a meta-social graph. In accordance with one implementation, a computerized method comprises collecting a plurality of different online identities of a first online user, each of the different online identities corresponding to a unique social network system. The method also includes collecting a plurality of communication data associated with the first user and determining bi-directional connections of the first user with other users from the collected communication data. In addition, the method may also include creating a meta-social graph from the determined bi-directional connections and the plurality of different online identities and generating a global identifier for the first user. The method also includes storing, in at least one memory device, the meta-social graph with at least one of the generated global identifier, the determined bi-directional connections, and the collected communication data.
