G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707732, 707771

Abstract:

A computing device includes a processing unit, and a system memory connected to the processing unit. The system memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to create: a demographic identification module that retrieves demographic profile information associated with a user and identifies a relevant demographic category based on the demographic profile information; a population search module that categorizes search information from other users within the relevant demographic category as the other users search for information, the search information including search terms used by the other users and destination content reviewed by the other users; and a search result module that filters a search query from the user by applying the categorized search information for the relevant demographic category and presents filtered search results to the user.

Abstract:

Techniques to perform federated authentication are described. An apparatus may comprise a resource server may have an authentication proxy component to perform authentication operations on behalf of a client. The authentication proxy component comprises an authentication handling module operative to receive an authentication request to authenticate the client using a basic authentication protocol. The authentication proxy component also comprises an authentication discovery module communicatively coupled to the authentication handling module, the authentication discovery module operative to discover an identity server for the client. The authentication proxy component further comprises an authentication manager module communicatively coupled to the authentication discovery module, the authentication manager module operative to retrieve authentication information from the identity server using an enhanced authentication protocol, and authenticate the client to access resource services using the authentication information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
