  • Patent number: 11626980
    Abstract: A client may transmit an authentication request to a server. The server may initiate a key agreement process using a short-lived private key generated at the server and a public key of the device, generate a shared secret, and derive a symmetric key. The symmetric key may be used to encrypt a random challenge. Further, the server initiates a key agreement process for the client using the partial private key that was generated for the client and the short-lived public key generated at the server. A partial key agreement result and the encrypted random challenge may be transmitted to the client. The client may complete the key agreement process using the partial key agreement result and a respective portion of the private key. The client may derive the encryption key and decrypt the random challenge. An indication of the random challenge may be transmitted to the server, which authenticates the client.

  • Patent number: 11621844
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for securely providing identity attributes. A server computer may receive, from a relying entity, a request for identity attributes associated with a target entity, wherein the request for identity attributes includes a session identifier associated with the target entity and an identifier of the relying entity. The server computer may validate the request based on the session identifier. The server computer may identify, based on the identifier of the relying entity, a package defining types of identity attributes for the relying entity and a data access token associated with the package. Based on validating the request, the server computer may transmit, to a digital identity provider, a request for a set of identity attributes corresponding to the package, the request comprising the data access token. The server computer may receive, from the digital identity provider, the set of identity attributes.

  • Patent number: 11606357
    Abstract: A method for pervasive resource identification includes receiving an authentication request from a first application service. The authentication request requests authentication of a user of a user device. The method includes obtaining device information associated with the user device of the user and generating a unique opaque identifier for the user device based on the device information. The method includes obtaining authentication credentials from the user device. The authentication credentials verify an identity of the user. In response to receiving the authentication credentials from the user device, the method includes generating an authentication token and encoding the unique opaque identifier into the authentication token. The method also includes transmitting the authentication token to the first application service.

  • Patent number: 11601429
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies of network service control for remote access to wireless radio networks are provided herein. In an embodiment, a client network can be provided by a network access point that can include a processor that is configured to detect a guest user equipment and determine whether the guest user equipment is a recognized device. In response to determining that the guest user equipment is not a recognized device, the processor can create an identity verification request message that seeks approval from a host device to allow the guest user equipment to access the client network. The processor can provide the identity verification request message to the host device and receive a trigger response message. The processor can create a network access package that provides the guest user equipment with access credentials to access the client network and provide the network access package to the guest user equipment.

  • Patent number: 11586714
    Abstract: A machine trains an artificial intelligence engine to facilitate authentication of a request to verify a user. The machine accesses a reference set of obfuscated geolocations generated from actual geolocations from which a device submitted requests to verify the user. The machine groups the obfuscated geolocations into geographical clusters based on a predetermined cluster radius value and calculates a corresponding representative geolocation for each geographical cluster and a corresponding variance distance from the representative geolocation for each geographical cluster. The machine then generates a reference location score based on the representative geolocations of the geographical clusters and on the variance distances of the geographical clusters. The machine trains an artificial intelligence engine to output that reference location score in response to the reference set being input thereto. The trained artificial intelligence engine may then be provided to one or more devices.

  • Patent number: 11576045
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and software for operating particle sampling devices in a user-restrictive manner include a tag and a particle sampling device. The device includes a tag reader and a processor in communication with the tag reader. The processor: receives device configuration data and reads operational and/or user data from the tag having that data encoded thereon. Based on the data read from the tag, the processor may either grant or deny access to a user for performing device operations. Alternatively, for a headless particle sampling device configured for minimal user interaction during operation, the device is removably attached to a supporting structure proximate the tag positioned in or on the supporting structure. In the headless configuration, the processor reads device configuration parameters including network communication information from the tag following device power up.

  • Patent number: 11570157
    Abstract: Information is removed from data transmitted over networks and stored in data storage facilities by generating non-informational data as an output from a series of nodes (routers, computing devices or logical routing applications) by using a function that applies random data to the data received at each node. The function may be an XOR and the random data may be a pseudorandom string of the same length as the informational data. The non-informational data may be managed normally without concern for security. When the informational data is needed it can be re-generated using the non-informational data and a cascade of the random data from the series of nodes as inputs to an inverse function (XOR is its own inverse). The random data may be generated from a smaller random seed.

  • Patent number: 11569986
    Abstract: A device may receive client cipher information, associated with initiating a secure session, identifying at least one key exchange cipher supported by a client device associated with the secure session. The device may determine, based on the client cipher information, that a Diffie-Hellman key exchange is to be used to establish the secure session. The device may determine whether a server device, associated with the secure session, supports use of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The device may manage establishment of the secure session using a first decryption technique based on determining that the server device does not support the use of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, or manage establishment of the secure session using a second decryption technique based on determining that the server device supports the use of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange or being unable to determine whether the server device supports the use of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
