  • Patent number: 11563723
    Abstract: A plug-in module, which, in combination with a host module, prevents unauthorized copying—like screen captures, screenshots, or screen recordings—of the streaming content provided to a participant in an online content-sharing session via an Instant Messenger (IM) service. The plug-in module may be a part of an IM application running on the participant's system or the host module may transmit a self-installing plug-in module to the participant's system upon receiving an indication that a user is hosting the online session. The plug-in module provides kernel-specific interface of the participant system's Operating System (OS) to the host module, which, then sends an OS-specific instruction to the plug-in module to trigger the OS to disable or control the copying of the streaming content as specified in a privacy preference received from the user hosting the online session. In this manner, sensitive and critical business data may be conveniently and securely shared online.

  • Patent number: 11558371
    Abstract: Authentication processing is provided which includes generating an authentication parameter as a function of a time-dependent input using a predetermined transformation having an inverse transformation. Multiple authentication modes are supported, with a bit-length of the time-dependent input of one authentication mode being different from a bit-length of the time-dependent input of another authentication mode. Generating the authentication parameter is dependent, in part, on whether the time-dependent input is of the one authentication mode or the other authentication mode, and includes performing multiple rounds of transformation of the time-dependent input. A time-dependent password including a character string is generated from the authentication parameter using another predetermined transformation having another inverse transformation. The time-dependent password is forwarded within the authentication system for authentication by an authenticator.

  • Patent number: 11531754
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media related to fraud detection. Fraud detection is achieved using a flexible scripting language and syntax that simplifies the generation of fraud detection rules. The rules are structured as conditional IF-THEN statements that include data objects referred to as Anchors and Add-Ons. The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The generated rules with distinct data paths are then converted using a transpiler from the scripting language into native language source code (e.g., PHP, Java, etc.) for deployment in a particular environment. The rules are then executed in real-time in the environment to detect potential fraudulent activity.

  • Patent number: 11483135
    Abstract: An application server sends a public key from an asynchronous key-pair to a user system to encrypt a user encryption secret that forms part of a first encryption key. The application server uses a second encryption key provided by a key derivation server to encrypt a private key from the asynchronous key-pair. The application server then deletes the second encryption key to prevent decryption of the user encryption secret received from the user system. The application server receives the encrypted user encryption secret from the user system and sends a request to the key derivation server to re-encrypt the user encryption secret. The key derivation server uses a key encryption secret to generate the second encryption key and decrypt the private key. The key derivation server uses the decrypted private key to decrypt the user encryption secret and then re-encrypts the first encryption secret to prevent decryption by the application server.

  • Patent number: 11477169
    Abstract: A method of securely transmitting a message from a sending entity to a receiving entity via a network. A Processing String Engine is communicatively coupled to the sending and receiving entities. The sending entity requests the Processing String Engine to provide a network routing path for message transmission from the sending entity to the receiving entity and to provide a processing string for the message transmission. The Processing String Engine identifies a network path and generates a processing string. The sending entity appends the processing string to the message and sends the message to the receiving entity. The message is unreadable while the processing string is appended thereto. Upon receipt of the message with the appended processing string, the receiving entity requests removal the processing string. Upon successful verification of the receiving entity, the processing string is removed, and the message is returned to the receiving entity.
