Title: Authentication management
Inventor: PIPES STEPHEN DAVID
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2014-08-26
Abstract: A method of managing user authentication levels during a user session comprises the steps of: operating a user session for a specific user S2.1; maintaining a user authentication level for the user session S2.2; monitoring one or more factors relating to the user's activity S2.3; applying one or more rules to the monitored factors S2.4; detecting that a rule has indicated the user's current authentication level is too high S2.5; and lowering the user's authentication level, without ending the user's session S2.5 (i.e. keep the user logged in). Monitored factors may include the users current task or the users current location. The users authentication level will be automatically reduced when it is detected to be higher than it needs to be for the users current task, for example, or when the user leaves a safe territory such as his/her home. A visual indication may be output for the current authentication level. The arrangement avoids having to rely on manually stepping-down an authentication level by the user after (manually) stepping-up the authentication level to perform a particular task e.g. online bank transfer. The method acts as a transparent background process to monitor whether the current authentication level is too high.

A gearbox (28) may be used to change the shafts orientations. A multiple of chain or belt loops (13) are mounted to the shafts (11 & 12) at a suitable spacing in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle travel direction (04). The active elements (14) have means to bias them to return to their non-activated position after activation. The active elements (14) may operate further active elements having a means of one direction transmission of force to cause the chains or belts (13) to displace.
