Abstract: A system for implementing header enrichment or header injections in proprietary networks for authenticating users, conducting user risk assessments, and obtaining user information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for managing a service associated with a service provider. The method includes receiving from at least one classification provider, a request for registration as classifying authority with a platform, wherein the platform is associated with a digital store, approving the received request for registration of the at least one classification provider, classifying the service and/or the service provider by the registered at least one classification provider to generate classification information pertaining to the service and/or the service provider, and hosting the classified service by the platform. The system includes a computing device associated with a platform provider, at least one device associated with at least one classification provider registered as a classification authority with the platform to classify the service and/or the service provider, and a service provider device associated with the service provider of the classified service.

Abstract: A device may receive a request to access a bundling service that manages access to an over-the-top service provided by an over-the-top service provider. The device may receive information that identifies a third party service provider and a user credential associated with the third party service provider. The third party service provider may be different from the over-the-top service provider, and the third party service provider may not provide the over-the-top service. The device may provide an authentication request, including the user credential, to a third party device associated with the third party service provider. The device may receive an authentication response from the third party device. The authentication response may indicate whether the third party device successfully authenticated the user credential. The device may selectively provide access to the bundling service based on receiving the authentication response.

Abstract: A secure payment agent assist (“SPAA”) feature provides assistance to a contact center agent during a payment transaction, where payment information provided by the remote party is maintained in secure manner, so that the agent is not exposed to the payment information. The agent is assisted by being provided with a pop-up window that allows the agent to invoke a “recollect” and “cancel” function during the transaction. The pop-up window also provide information to the agent making the agent aware of the progress of the transaction as the remote party interacts with an interactive voice response (“IVR”) unit. In other embodiments, a configuration parameter allows the prompts for the payment information to be provided by the agent or the IVR.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards protecting against polymorphic cheat codes in a video game environment. A detour analyzer analyzes game code in client memory for possible hooks to parasite code. For each detected hook to parasite code, hook and/or parasite information is determined to generate a hook/parasite signatures, which are sent to a remote network device. Based on the hook/parasite signatures a weighted combination of scores are generated that is useable to determine a probability value that the parasite code is cheat code. If the determined probability value indicates cheat code, the user of the client device may be banned from future game play. Additionally, the hook/parasite signature information may be used to update the data store to detect polymorphic changes in the cheat code.

Abstract: Described processes include: obtaining a first amount of cryptographic tokens transferred to burn addresses by members of a first set of entities; determining a second amount of instances of the first type of cryptographic token to be minted; determining portions of the second amount of instances of the first type of cryptographic token to be allocated to members of a second set of entities, wherein: the portions are determined based on effects determined to be caused by members of the second set of entities on performance of a computer-implemented network in which both the first set of entities and the second set of entities participate, and the effects on network performance are quantified by metrics reported by members of the first set of entities; appending to the first distributed ledger, records indicating the respective portions are transferred to respective accounts of corresponding members of the second set of entities.

Abstract: Techniques for routing to content within a mesh network based on a blockchain are provided. An electronic device can receive data from a mesh network to establish the device as a node on the mesh network. The established node can generate a cryptocurrency wallet that can be loaded with an amount of cryptocurrency. A blockchain can store searchable transactions related to content stored within the mesh network. The established node can search the blockchain to locate content and can transmit a request for certain content. The established node may issue a payment to a node hosting the requested content and/or to any intermediate nodes facilitating the established node's access to the content.
