Patent number: 10404701Abstract: Systems, software, techniques and apparatuses are disclosed herein for facilitating context-based possession-less access to secure information. More specifically, the systems, software, techniques and apparatuses described herein eliminate the need for enterprises to provide employees with direct access to confidential or sensitive enterprise information. Instead, the confidential or sensitive enterprise information can be indirectly provided to and hidden by an access systems used by the employees to request the information prior to being provided to a corresponding resource. For example, in some embodiments, the confidential or sensitive enterprise information is provided to an access system with formatting instructions for hiding the confidential or sensitive enterprise information in a browser session.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Onion ID Inc.Inventor: Anirban Banerjee

Patent number: 10396769Abstract: Various clock frequency dividers are disclosed. Each frequency divider includes cascaded flip-flops and a feedback logic gate. First data inputs of the flip-flops are for propagating logic values along the cascaded flip-flops and the feedback gate for generating valid states of a sequence in response to a clock signal. Each frequency divider includes an invalid state elimination circuit configured to detect an invalid state at the outputs of the flip-flops and change it into a valid state in response to the clock signal. In some implementations, the invalid state elimination circuit includes a NOR gate to detect an all-zero invalid state and generate a control signal to cause the flip-flops to output logic values associated with a valid state or to cause a multiplexer to introduce a logic value associated with a valid state. In other implementations, the invalid state elimination circuit instead includes an AND gate to detect an all-ones invalid state.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Mangal Prasad, Victor Git-Han Moy, Xiaobin Yuan, Anirban Banerjee

Publication number: 20190253428Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for facilitating invisible password reset protocols. More specifically, the techniques described herein eliminate the need for end users to have to periodically change their authentication information (e.g., password information). The mechanisms facilitate automated and invisible modification to a password without active participation by the end user. The mechanisms are made possible through the use of a credential-free or zero password login (ZPL) system. Among other benefits, the automation techniques discussed herein frequently change passwords and thus, reduce the chances that passwords are stolen and/or otherwise misused. As discussed herein, the credential-free or zero password login (ZPL) system also remembers and/or otherwise automatically provides users with authentication information (e.g., credentials) for a registered resource at the time of access time.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2019Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventor: Anirban Banerjee

Publication number: 20190251293Abstract: Techniques are disclose herein for facilitating secure user access to resources without user-provided credentials. More specifically, the techniques described herein eliminate the need for end users to remember and provide privileged resource authentication information (e.g., credentials) at the time of resource access. The system accepts and securely stores registration information for accessing privileged resources during a registration process. As discussed herein, the registration information can include identification and authentication information for each privileged resource. The authentication process can also include registration of one or more secondary authentication devices that are used to verify the identity of the end user in lieu of the end user providing credentials.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2019Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventor: Anirban Banerjee

Patent number: 10306539Abstract: An access point that implements operating modes in which beacons may be selectively disabled. Beacons may be disabled when no device is actively associated through the access point. Beacons may be enabled in response to one or more triggers, which may include events such as a client forming an association through the access point following a probe request message identifying the access point. In addition, active beaconing may be triggered by user input or may occur during periodic brief intervals that allow client devices to discover the network identifier for the access point. Selective control of beaconing may lead to more effective wireless communication, particularly in areas where users congregate with computers implementing soft APs for personal networks.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David A.

Publication number: 20160212100Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for facilitating dynamic risk assessment and automated triggering of supplemental authentication for protected access resources. More specifically, the techniques described herein provide security mechanisms that can be triggered in response to a risk assessment determined in response to request to establish a connection between an access system and a protected resource. Alternatively or additionally, the security mechanisms can transparently monitor an authenticated connection between an access system and a resource and automatically trigger supplemental authentication based on a dynamic risk assessment. In some embodiments, a feature set of the authenticated connection and commands initiated over the authenticated connection are monitored and underlying information captured to dynamically generate the risk assessment or score. The supplemental authentication can be triggered when the risk score exceeds a risk threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2016Publication date: July 21, 2016Inventor: Anirban Banerjee
