  • Patent number: 11966488
    Abstract: Methods and systems of data de-tokenization are described herein to provide solutions to utilizing tokenized data files. A de-tokenization service controller may extract instances of tokenized data by determining a schema associated with a tokenized file, wherein the schema identifies which fields contain tokenized data. A decryption system may decrypt the tokens and send decrypted sensitive values to the de-tokenization service controller. The de-tokenization service controller may then generate a de-tokenized data file comprising a plurality of records corresponding to the plurality of original tokenized records, using the decrypted sensitive values in place of the instances of tokenized data. In some embodiments, the methods may further comprise generating a validated file by adding one or more fields indicating the results of validation based on a set of validation rules.

  • Patent number: 11954230
    Abstract: A system protects personally identifiable information (PII) by implementing an unconventional key management scheme. In this scheme, the system uses a set of keys rather than an individual key for encrypting PII. Different portions of the PII are encrypted using different keys from the set of keys. In this manner, even if a malicious user were to access a key, that key would not give the malicious user the ability to decrypt all of the PII. Additionally, the system generates a new set of keys periodically (e.g., once a month). The system also deletes sets of keys that are too old (e.g., six months old). As a result, even if a malicious user were to access a key, the usefulness of that key would be time limited.

  • Patent number: 11943356
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token.

  • Patent number: 11909745
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for utilizing sender-recipient pair data to establish sender-level trust in future communication. One method comprises receiving raw communication data over a network and testing the received raw communication data against trained machine learning data to predict whether the raw communication data is associated with expected communication data. The raw communication data is sorted for expected communication data, which is further analyzed for sender-recipient pair data and assigned an expected communication pair data score. Senders associated with an expected communication pair data score that meets or exceeds a threshold are labeled and stored in a database as trusted. As a result of the sender-recipient pair analysis, recipients at-risk for being scammed can be identified, senders misidentified as spammers can be properly classified, and machine learning techniques utilized for analyzing raw communication data can be fine-tuned.

  • Patent number: 11893117
    Abstract: A system facilitates detection of malicious properties of software packages. A generic application which comprises known functionality into which a software package has been included is analyzed through a static analysis and/or dynamic analysis, which is performed based on executing the generic application in a controlled environment. The static analysis and/or dynamic analysis are performed to determine whether one or more properties associated with the software package comprise deviations from the known behavior of the generic application. Behavior deviations identified based on the static and/or dynamic analysis are associated with a score. An aggregate score is calculated for the software package based on the scores which have been assigned to the identified behavior deviations and may be adjusted based on a reputation multiplier determined based on metadata of the software package. If the aggregate score of the software package exceeds a score threshold, the software package is flagged as malicious.
