A method including encrypting, by a processor associated with a user device, first factor authentication information associated with determining a first authentication factor; enabling, by the processor, encryption of second factor authentication associated with determining a second authentication factor; detecting, by the processor, an attempt by the user device to access a service to be provided by a service provider; determining, by the processor based at least in part on detecting the attempt, the first authentication factor based at least in part on decrypting the first factor authentication information; determining, by the processor, the second authentication factor based at least in part on enabling decryption of the second factor authentication information; and enabling, by the processor, authentication of the user device with the service provider based at least in part on utilizing the first authentication factor and the second authentication factor is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Optimized authentication system

A request is received from a user device. In response to the request, respective penalty scores for VPN servers are calculated. A respective penalty score for a VPN server is calculated based on a time of creation of the VPN server such that a first VPN server of the VPN servers having a first creation time that is earlier in time than a second creation time of a second VPN server of the VPN servers is assigned a higher weight than the second VPN server. One or more of the VPN servers are selected based on the respective penalty scores. Respective internet protocol (IP) addresses of the one or more of the VPN servers are transmitted to the user device.

Using creation times in identifying optimal VPN servers

A method for configuring a first user device to generate a sharing encryption key based at least in part on combining a folder access private key associated with a folder and an assigned public key associated with a second user device; configuring the first user device to encrypt the folder access private key associated with the folder utilizing the sharing encryption key; and configuring the first user device to transmit the encrypted folder access private key to enable the second user device to access the folder is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Sharing data in an organized storage system

A method including determining, by a first device, an assigned key pair including an assigned public key and an assigned private key; determining, by the first device for a folder associated with encrypted content, a folder access public key and a folder access private key; determining, by the first device for a group, a group access public key and a group access private key; encrypting, by the first device, the folder access private key by utilizing the assigned public key; encrypting, by the first device, the folder access private key by utilizing the group access public key; and accessing, by a second device, the folder based on decrypting the folder access private key by utilizing the group access private key or based on decrypting the folder access private key by utilizing the assigned private key, the first device being different than the second device. Other aspects are contemplated.
