  • Patent number: 11848925
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable program code executable by a processor to receive a transaction request from a user interface, and receive a user-identifier from the user interface, and the user-identifier associated with a user. The program code may be executable to send a first non-audible sound signal to initiate a multifactor authentication process during a first interval, and send a second non-audible sound signal during a second interval, where the second non-audible sound signal comprises a predetermined frequency pattern, associated with the user. The program code may also be executable to receive a third non-audible sound signal, where the third non-audible sound signal, at least in part, is utilized to determine whether to complete the transaction request or not. The first non-audible sound signal, the second non-audible sound signal, and the third non-audible sound signal may comprise a frequency greater than 15 kHz.

  • Patent number: 11799634
    Abstract: IoT frameworks require flexible and scalable communication and security schemes that can be deployed on devices of low computational capabilities and memory (e.g., resource-constrained devices). A system is provided including a mesh network of resource-constrained devices creating a self-organizing and collaborative communication topology between the devices, and an attribute-based encryption security scheme integrated with the mesh network that enables the resource-constrained devices to communicate securely in unsecured channels by defining an access policy that can only be satisfied by the authorized resource-constrained devices. In order to integrate the attribute-based encryption scheme with the mesh network of resource-constrained devices, a serializer and deserializer are provided that prepare all communications to go through the attribute-based encryption scheme by converting all data and metadata into a suitable format for transmission over the network.

  • Patent number: 11785019
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for verifying a suspicious electronic communication. To this end, a secure communications service may detect an electronic communication comprising an identifier of a purported originator of the electronic communication and an identifier of an intended recipient, and determine that an attribute of the electronic communication corresponds to a suspicious attribute. Responsively, the service may intercept the electronic communication and storing the electronic communication in purgatory memory, so as to prevent the electronic communication from being populated in a private repository of the intended recipient, transmit a verification message, and receive a reply to the verification message that verifies the authenticity of the electronic communication.

  • Patent number: 11722503
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide centralized and coordinate learning techniques for identifying malicious e-mails while maintaining privacy of the analyzed e-mails of different organizations. One or more models may be generated and configured to construct feature sets that may be used to characterize e-mails as malicious or safe. Feedback associated with one or more models trained by a first organization (and other organizations) may be shared with a modelling device to modify parameters of the one or more models, where the modified parameters are configured to improve identification of malicious e-mail threats. The feedback provided by the first organization may not include e-mails received by the first organization, thereby enabling the privacy of the e-mails received by the first organization to be maintained in an confidential manner even though the updated parameters may be shared with a second organization.
