  • Patent number: 11461456
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, resource allocation related to records may be facilitated by generating and using modified instances of such records. In some embodiments, a set of records associated with a user may be stored in a memory area, where each such record includes a record identifier. In response to obtaining one or more commands related to a resource transfer from a user device associated with the user, a new set of records associated with the user may be generated such that each record of the new set is (i) a modified instance of a corresponding record of the record set and (ii) includes a record identifier different from the record identifier of the corresponding record. In one use case, the new records and its data may then be utilized to perform operations related to the user commands. In another use case, the new records may replace its older corresponding records.

  • Patent number: 11431756
    Abstract: A DNS server receives from a receiving email system, a DNS query for an email domain stored at the DNS server, the DNS query including identifying information of a sender of an email. The DNS server extracts the identifying information of the email sender from the DNS query and identifies one of a plurality of delivering organizations from the information. The DNS server determines whether the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain. In response to determining that the identified delivering organization is authorized to deliver email on behalf of the email domain, the DNS server generates a target validation record based on the identity of the authorized delivering organization and the email domain, the target validation record including one or more rules indicating to the receiving email system whether the delivering organization is an authorized sender of email for the email domain.

  • Patent number: 11418516
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a consent conversion optimization system is configured to test two or more test consent interfaces against one another to determine which of the two or more consent interfaces results in a higher conversion percentage (e.g., to determine which of the two or more interfaces lead to a higher number of end users and/or data subjects providing a requested level of consent for the creation, storage and use or cookies by a particular website). The system may, for example, analyze end user interaction with each particular test consent interface to determine which of the two or more user interfaces: (1) result in a higher incidence of a desired level of provided consent; (2) are easier to use by the end users and/or data subjects (e.g., take less time to complete, require a fewer number of clicks, etc.); (3) etc.

  • Patent number: 11397826
    Abstract: Row-level security (RLS) may provide fine-grained access control based on flexible, user-defined access policies to databases, tables, objects, and other data structures. A RLS policy may be an entity or object that defines rules for row access. A RLS policy may be decoupled or independent from any specific table. This allows more robust and flexible control. A RLS policy may then be attached to one or more tables. The RLS policy may include a Boolean-valued expression.

  • Patent number: 11368477
    Abstract: A method to monitor integrity of webpages. The method may include obtaining a destination of outgoing network traffic resulting from rendered code of a webpage. The rendered code may be generated using source code of the webpage that is obtained in response to a request to a webserver that hosts the webpage. The method may also include obtaining a previous destination of previous outgoing network traffic resulting from previous rendered code of the webpage. The previous rendered code may be generated before the request is sent to the webserver for the source code used to generate the rendered code. The method may also include comparing the destination and the previous destination to determine a change in integrity of security of the webpage. In response to the change in the integrity of security of the webpage, an alert regarding the integrity of security of the webpage may be generated.
