  • Patent number: 11917069
    Abstract: Secure user authentication using a OTP involve pre-storing an application on a first device for generating a valid OTP for the user responsive to receiving entry of a valid PIN, no part of the valid PIN is stored on the first device and pre-storing on a back-end server the valid PIN and a valid shared secret for the user. Upon receiving entry of a purported PIN, a purported shared secret is dynamically synthesized on the first device by the application based on the purported PIN and a purported OTP is generated on the first device. When entry of the purported OTP is received by the server in an attempt to log on the server from a second device, the server cryptographically calculates a window of OTPs, and logs on to the server from the second device is allowed if the calculated window of OTPs corresponds to the received OTP.

  • Patent number: 11842349
    Abstract: Multifactor authentication systems and methods employ an online payment server processor that authenticates a user in an online session with a merchant website server processor based on data representing one or more predefined authentication factors received from a user device processor over a communication network and sends data representing a secure user login cookie to the user device processor over the communication network based on the authentication of the user in the online session with the merchant website server processor. Thereafter, the online payment server processor authenticates the user in a subsequent online session with the merchant website server processor based in part on identifying the data representing the secure user login cookie on the user device and in part on data representing a second predefined authentication factor received from the user device processor over the communication network.

  • Publication number: 20230388123
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for end-to-end encryption for session-less communications. A first server may receive, from a second server, a request to retrieve keys for a customer device to access a service. The request may include a device identifier and a first token encrypted using a first encryption key. The first server may determine, responsive to validating, that the customer device is to be issued a second token. The first server may identify least a portion of the first token decrypted using the first encryption key. The first server may generate a set of second encryption keys to be used by the customer device. The first server may package the second token to include (i) at least the portion of the first token and (ii) the set of second encryption keys. The first server may transmit, to the second server, a response including the second token.

  • Patent number: 11805127
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for processing tokens in identity assertions for access control to resources. A server may receive, via an interface from a gateway, a request to permit a customer device to access a resource associated with the server. The request may include an identifier for the customer device and a first token used to authenticate the customer device at the gateway. The server may generate, responsive to validating the first token, a second token to be used to authorize the customer device at the server for access to the resource. The server may store, on a database, an association identifying the identifier, the first token, and the second token. The server may perform the server, an action to permit the customer device access to the resource associated with the server based on the association maintained on the database.

  • Patent number: 11736493
    Abstract: A network system to provide mutable access tokens for access requests that eliminate a need for token replacement. The system allows an access token to be changed to update data in the token. When data stored with the token changes, such as when a user or partner has a change in status, a new token is not required to be requested, generated, dispersed, or stored. Conventional systems refuse the API call request and require the new token be provided. The described system instead completes the request while simultaneously notifying the user to subsequently retrieve an updated access token. Requesting, generating, communicating, and presenting a new token requires additional time, bandwidth, computing capacity, and system interactions. While performing new token acquisition in conventional systems, devices are forced to perform additional interactions, which may result in a time delay or in one or more devices exceeding capacity, becoming overloaded, and seizing.

  • Publication number: 20230080686
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems to identify and redact personally identifiable information (PII). A PII sensitivity detection framework includes multiple layers where each layer corresponds to a computer model. The disclosed framework analyzes data stored within different data tables and predicts whether a data column includes PII. The first layer corresponds to an artificial intelligence model that analyzes each column metadata and predicts a first score indicative of a first likelihood of PII existence. The second layer corresponds to a rule-based computer model that uses various rules to determine a second score indicative of a second likelihood of PII existence for each column. The third layer corresponds to a column content model that analyzes content of each column using various natural language processing techniques to generate a third score indicative of a third likelihood of PII existence.

  • Patent number: 11429725
    Abstract: Systems and methods involve a database function of an ATM processor on which rules database records for positive transition flows of ATM hardware or software activities are stored, a security agent function of the ATM processor that extracts data points from a transition flow for every succeeding ATM activity, and an algorithm function of the ATM processor that generates a rules database record for the transition flows for succeeding ATM activity based on the extracted data points and discards any generated rules database record that is identical to a rules database record already stored on the rules database function. A discovery phase of the algorithm function stores new rules database records, rules database function, and a protection phase of the algorithm function selects a risk protocol, when a generated record is not identical to a record already stored.

  • Patent number: 11244289
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for managing financial institution customer transaction accounts involves issuing a relationship presentment card with a relationship identifier unique to the customer that is linked to a plurality of the customer's financial institution transaction accounts via pre-defined parameters for determining to which of the customer's linked accounts to post particular transactions with the relationship presentment card. Thereafter, when data for a transaction with the card is received by a processing platform of the financial institution via a merchant acquirer and a card association processing network, the card processing platform of the financial institution identifies a particular financial institution account of the customer to which the transaction should be posted according to the pre-defined parameters based on the transaction data and posts the transaction to the identified financial institution account of the customer.
