  • Patent number: 11921842
    Abstract: In an approach for multifactor authorization on hardware calls of resources, a processor receives a request for a hardware resource from a plurality of hardware resources being monitored. A processor calculates a risk level associated with the hardware resource of the request based on a respective risk level data repository. A processor, in response to a determination the risk level requires multifactor authorization, determines that a user associated with the request is logged in. A processor identifies a mechanism used by the user to log in. A processor determines whether a challenge associated with the multifactor authorization based on the mechanism is successful. A processor, in response to a determination the challenge associated with the multifactor authorization is successful, enables access to the hardware resource of the request.

  • Patent number: 11886618
    Abstract: Systems and processes for improved processing of biometric data may include a hash controller including a processor, a server, and a registry. The hash controller can receive biometric information, such as a biometric scan, and apply an EGH transformation to convert the biometric information into an irreversible, unlinkable, and revocable EgHash. The EGH transformation can include blending biometric information with non-biometric information and permuting the biometric representation for additional security. The permuted biometric representation can be projected based on a randomly generated matrix and the output permuted to obtain an EgHash. The resultant EgHash can be lossy such that the EGH transform causes an irreversible loss of biometric information between the original biometric information and the EgHash. The EgHash can be compared and retrieved at speed and scale by the processor to support operations including, but not limited to, verification, identification, and database deduplication.

  • Patent number: 11849028
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to method and system for secure IoT device onboarding using a blockchain network. Internet of Things (IoT) device onboarding is a challenging problem as it needs to be securely connected to its actual final owner, with minimal manual intervention. Onboarding provides provisioning the IoT devices with credentials for accessing a network resource and assigning appropriate permissions. The present disclosure establishes a mutual authentication between at least one IoT device from the one or more IoT devices and a TIMS. Further, based on the verified authentication the TIMS enables the device to identify its current owner using a blockchain network. Further, the IoT device authenticating parameter is computed for authentication of the TIMS with at least one IoT device from the one or more IoT devices.
