Particular embodiments described herein provide for a network element that can be configured to receive, from an electronic device, a request to access a network service. In response to the request, the network element can send data related to the network service to the electronic device and add a test link to the data related to the network service. The network element can also be configured to determine if the test link was successfully executed and classify the electronic device as untrusted if the test link was not successfully executed.

Security service for an unmanaged device

Methods, systems, and media for storing and retrieving data from distributed vaults are provided. In some embodiments, a method for storing and retrieving data from distributed vaults is provided, the method comprising: generating, by a first user device, a plurality of pieces of a data item, wherein a count N of the plurality of pieces equals a count of vault devices in a group of vault devices, wherein the data item can be reconstructed from a subset of the plurality of pieces, and wherein the data item corresponds to a key to access secure content; for each piece of the data item, transmitting the piece of the data item to a unique vault device; requesting, by a second user device, the subset of the plurality of pieces; generating the data item using the subset of the plurality of pieces; and using the data item to access the secure content.

Methods, systems, and media for storing and retrieving data from distributed vaults

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an Orchestrator to commission a point of presence (PoP) node based on receiving an internet protocol (IP) address, the IP address associated with a geographic location; and a global routing manager for assigning a client device to a PoP node based on the received IP address. Embodiments also include a performance manager to acquire performance information about each PoP node.

Establishing nodes for global routing manager

A collection of wearable communicating devices generates signals that may be detected and analyzed to produce a fingerprint of the collection of wearable devices. An analysis unit may recognize patterns or other information in detected signals and generate a fingerprint of a body area network corresponding to the collection of wearable devices. The fingerprint may be fuzzy fingerprint, matchable with a fingerprint of a similar, but not necessarily identical, collection of wearable devices that has been previously generated or obtained. The fingerprint may be used for tracking or other purposes. Some embodiments may allow the generation of additional signals that modify the fingerprint.

Fuzzy fingerprinting of communicating wearables

Methods and systems for assigning reputation to communications entities include collecting communications data from distributed agents, aggregating the communications data, analyzing the communications data and identifying relationships between communications entities based upon the communications data.

Multi-dimensional reputation scoring

A system allows just-in-time checking of information about an email in which a hyperlink is embedded. Upon receipt of the email containing the hyperlink, the resource locator of the hyperlink is modified to allow checking the reputation of the email upon traversal of the hyperlink. At traversal of the hyperlink, the current reputation of the resource locator and the current reputation of the email are both determined, and one or more actions are performed responsive to the determination.

Just-in-time, email embedded URL reputation determination

A brokered authentication request is received corresponding to an interaction between a particular user and a particular online entity. An identity provider corresponding to the particular user is identified that stores user data identifying the particular user. Confirmation is received that the identity provider has authenticated the particular user to a user profile maintained by the identity provider and a unique persistent user identifier is generated for the particular user that is unique within a system to a pairing of the first user with the first entity. The user identifier is caused to be communicated to the first entity for authenticating the first user in interactions with the first entity.

Privacy broker

A request is received for a brokered shipment from a particular entity to an anonymous user. A shipping identifier is obtained from a shipping entity, on behalf of the particular entity, for the shipment from the particular entity to the anonymous user. The shipping identifier is communicated to the particular entity and the shipping identifier is associated with a unique user identifier unique, within a system, to a pairing of the anonymous user with the particular entity. Address information of the anonymous user is unknown to the particular entity, and address information is obtained from the shipping entity for the anonymous user. In some aspects, address information of the particular user is received from a second entity and applied to the shipment identifier in connection with delivery of the shipment to the particular user.

Anonymous shipment brokering

Systems and methods are disclosed for allowing an authority to monitor a computer user's information in a most palatable manner for the computer user. The authority is provided access to information with encrypted user identification information and the user is notified if decryption is facilitated. The systems and methods also include a novel key production system whereby large numbers of deterministic key pairs may be created for use in the monitoring system.

Data protection using programmatically generated key pairs from a master key and a descriptor

A distributed proxy server system is operable to receive a request for Internet data from a user, obtain the user's identity, store at least one cookie on the user's web browser identifying the user, and filter undesired content before forwarding requested Internet data to the user. A master cookie is associated with the proxy server including user identity information, and an injected domain cookie is associated with the domain of the requested Internet data including user identity information.
