A display diagnostic system and method include a sensor configured to monitor a parameter of a light emitter of a display device. The light emitter is configured to emit light to illuminate a display screen of the display device. The light emitter is powered by an inverter of the display device. The system and method include one or more processors that receive a sensor signal generated by the sensor. The sensor signal is indicative of the parameter of the light emitter monitored by the sensor at a first time. The one or more processors are configured to determine that the light emitter is inactive at the first time based on the sensor signal, and, responsive to determining that the light emitter is expected to be active at the first time, generate a control signal indicating a fault state of the inverter.

Display diagnostic system and method

The system and method provide a technique for providing an information handling device with increased access to secure data by detecting the location of an information handling device on a surface in relation to at least one sensor located within the physical surface, and determining that the information handling device is an authenticated device based upon a communication between the at least one sensor and the information handling device. An orientation of the at least one sensor(s) present in the physical surface, or a sensor trigger area of the physical surface, may align with previously associated sensors coupled to the information handling device. Subsequent to determining the position of the sensors coupled to the device aligns with the at least one sensor trigger area, the information handling device may be authenticated which results in increased access to the device.

Device authentication utilizing sensor trigger areas

In one aspect, an apparatus may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify a live physical attribute of a device, where the live physical attribute may be related to the device's orientation or another aspect of the device. The instructions may also be executable to visually present, in virtual space, a representation of the device. The representation may be presented according to the live physical attribute of the device.

Apparatus, methods, and computer program products that recommend connecting on a platform based on participant interaction are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to track interaction between a pair of participants of a digital environment conducted on a first platform and recommend that the pair of participants connect on a second platform in response to the interaction between the pair of participants exceeding a predetermined threshold of interactions. Methods and computer program products that include and/or perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Recommending connecting on a platform based on participant interaction

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor assembly and storage accessible to the processor assembly. The storage includes instructions executable by the processor assembly to receive input from at least one sensor on a first device and to determine, based on the input, that a user is asleep. The instructions are also executable to, based on the determination, disable at least a first type of authentication usable to unlock a second device.

Disablement of device authentication based on user sleep state

The management of web page content includes maintaining an auditable log of trust verification relating to the web page content. The management further includes an attestation of a source of the web page content. The attestation relates to a security practice of the source, computer code provided by the source, a reputation of the source, and a history of the source. A modified version of a Verkle Tree is then applied to the auditable log and the attestation of the source.

Methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for blocking input/output (I/O) access to a computing system. A method includes establishing a portion of the machine-readable instructions as sole controller of the system responsive to the machine-readable instructions and preventing unauthorized replacement of the machine-readable instructions. The method also includes blocking user access to internal resources of the computing system and preventing predefined input/output (I/O) of the computing system.

Methods, systems, and program products for securely blocking access to system operations and data

A computer implemented method, device and computer program device are provided including a processor; a storage medium to store a user defined password (UDP) factor and program instructions accessible by the processor; wherein, responsive to execution of the program instructions, the processor to: generate a first machine generated indicia (MGI) code indicative of the UDP factor; and generate a second MGI code indicative of a time-based one-time password (TOTP) factor; and a display to display the first and second MGI codes during an authentication operation.

Devices and methods to validating multiple different factor categories

Methods, apparatus, and program products that can predict misconfigurations in a computing system using machine learning are disclosed herein. One method includes labeling one or more graph nodes or link nodes of a data graph of a computing system that includes one or more security vulnerabilities with a node label or link label, respectively, in which each node label represents the first security vulnerabilities associated with a particular graph node and each link label represents the second security vulnerabilities associated with a particular link node. The method further includes utilizing the graph node(s) or the link node(s) to train a machine learning algorithm to predict one or more misconfigurations in the computing system based on the security vulnerabilities and determining one or more modifications to the computing system for mitigating the one or more misconfigurations. Apparatus and program products that include and/or perform the methods are also disclosed herein.

Predicting system misconfigurations using machine learning

A process for transmitting a file from a sender device to a receiver device includes generating a random symmetric session key for the sender device, and randomly selecting a private ephemeral key for the sender device. The private ephemeral key is associated with a corresponding first public key. A public ephemeral key is randomly selected for the receiving device. The public ephemeral key is associated with a corresponding first private key. A random value is generated, an encrypted session key is calculated, and the file is encrypted using symmetric encryption. The sender device includes a first public X509 certificate comprising a second public key and a corresponding second private key that is signed by a service provider, and the receiver device includes a second public X509 certificate comprising a third public key and a corresponding third private key.
