A system, apparatus, method, and machine readable medium are described for performing advanced authentication techniques and associated applications. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: receiving a policy identifying a set of acceptable authentication capabilities; determining a set of client authentication capabilities; and filtering the set of acceptable authentication capabilities based on the determined set of client authentication capabilities to arrive at a filtered set of one or more authentication capabilities for authenticating a user of the client.

Advanced authentication techniques and applications

A system, apparatus, method, and machine readable medium are described for performing client risk assessment for authentication. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a client risk assessment agent to perform an assessment of client configuration data to determine a risk level associated with a client device; and an authentication engine to performing authentication for a particular transaction in accordance with the risk level.

System and method for collecting and utilizing client data for risk assessment during authentication

A system, apparatus, method, and machine readable medium are described for establishing trust using secure communication protocols. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: generating a first authentication-related communication at an authentication server on behalf of a relying party the first authentication-related communication being directed to a client device having one or more authenticators; signing the first authentication-related communication using a first key of a self-signed certificate from a decentralized public key infrastructure (PKI); establishing a first secure communication channel with a relying party app on the client device using a trusted secure communication infrastructure; transmitting the first authentication-related communication with the signature to the relying party app over the first secure communication channel; establishing a second secure communication channel with an authentication client on the client device using a trusted secure communication infrastructure; transmitting a second key of the self-signed certificate from the decentralized PKI to the authentication client over the second communication channel; providing the first authentication-related communication from the relying party app to the authentication client; and the authentication client using the second key to validate the signature generated over the first authentication-related communication with the first key.

System and method for establishing trust using secure transmission protocols

A user requests to store a file to a storage device and a DLP module receives the request. The DLP module receives data for the file, encrypts the data using an encryption key and stores the encrypted data to the storage device. Next, the DLP module determines whether the encrypted data in the file is in compliance with a DLP policy. To determine compliance, the DLP module decrypts the data using the encryption key and examines the decrypted data for compliance. If the decrypted data is not in compliance with the DLP policy, the DLP module deletes the encrypted data from the storage device.
