Disclosed are various examples for an application settings module that provides uniform access to diverse types of data, such as mobile device settings. A client device, such as a mobile device, can be configured through execution of program instructions to access a schema file comprising a definition of a plurality of keypaths, where individual ones of the plurality of keypaths uniquely correspond to one of a plurality of device settings and the keypaths are defined in the schema file in association with a plurality of methods. The client device can identify a function invoked using one of the keypaths to read or write a corresponding one of the device settings, whether stored locally or remote, and, in response to the function being invoked, execute a portion of the methods corresponding to the one of the keypaths in the schema file and return a result to a requesting process.

Uniform access to diverse structured information for client applications

Systems and methods are included for creating an assured record of a user interaction. An application on a user device can receive an agreement. The agreement can include a specification with instructions for assuring the user interaction. The application can pass the agreement to an assured module installed in the application. The assured module can present the agreement to a user in an interface. The assured module can receive user input indicating acceptance or rejection of the agreement. The assured module can generate a confirmation file that confirms the user interaction. The assured module can sign the confirmation file with a digital signature that can be used by other entities to verify the authenticity of the confirmation file.

Application module for creating an assured record of a user interaction

A method of controlling access to data on a first electronic device, the method comprising steps of establishing a shared encryption key with a first software application instance running on a second electronic device, receiving a 'begin session' command sent by the first software application instance and responsive to the 'begin session' command, creating a storage location in a data store of the electronic device, obtaining a data encryption key, receiving data, encrypting the data using the data encryption key and storing the encrypted data in the storage location, receiving an &#x2018;end session&#x2019; command sent by the first software application instance and responsive to the &#x2018;end session&#x2019; command, discarding the shared encryption key, and deleting the encrypted data from the storage location.

Processing data on an electronic device

A method and system for negotiating a secure device-to-device communications channel between a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a first user and the second computing device is associated with a second user. The method comprises receiving, at a server, a first connection request comprising first address data and a first cryptographic key associated with the first computing device, the first connection request being received over a first secure communications channel, and receiving, at the server, a second connection request comprising second address data and a second cryptographic key associated with the second computing device, the second connection request being received over a second secure communications channel.

Secure communication channels

Methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for virtualizing a physical device using an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) virtualized or partially virtualized device (an AR/VR device) are provided. In particular, first data of a user interaction with the physical device is received by the AR/VR device from the physical device. The first data of the user interaction with the physical device is converted into second data for representation of the user interaction with the physical device in a virtual representation of the physical device. The virtual representation of the physical device and the representation of the user interaction with the physical device are outputted by the AR/VR device.
