Publication number: 20240119457Abstract: Methods and server systems for computing fraud risk scores for various merchants associated with an acquirer described herein. The method performed by a server system includes accessing merchant-related transaction data including merchant-related transaction indicators associated with a merchant from a transaction database. Method includes generating a merchant-related transaction features based on the merchant-related indicators. Method includes generating via risk prediction models, for a payment transaction with the merchant, merchant health and compliance risk scores, merchant terminal risk scores, merchant chargeback risk scores, and merchant activity risk scores based on the merchant-related transaction features. Method includes facilitating transmission of a notification message to an acquirer server associated with the merchant.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Smriti Gupta, Adarsh Patankar, Akash Choudhary, Alekhya Bhatraju, Ammar Ahmad Khan, Amrita Kundu, Ankur Saraswat, Anubhav Gupta, Awanish Kumar, Ayush Agarwal, Brian M.

Publication number: 20240071543Abstract: A TPM with programmable fuses in an SOC includes an on-die RAM storing a blown-fuse count and a TPM state read from off-die NV memory. During initialization, if the blown-fuse count is greater than a TPM state fuse count, a TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is incremented, thereby thwarting a replay attack. If a PIN satisfies a PIN failure policy, and if a TPM state previously-passed-PIN indicator is set to true, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count incremented depending on the PIN being incorrect, but if the TPM state previously-passed-PIN indicator is set to false, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count incremented independent of whether the PIN is correct or incorrect. The TPM state fuse count is set equal to the blown-fuse count. If a counter cleared before processing the PIN remains cleared during the next initialization, a fuse voltage cut is detected and a penalty imposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ling Tony CHEN, Felix DOMKE, Ankur CHOUDHARY, Bradley Joseph LITTERELL

Patent number: 11860999Abstract: A TPM with programmable fuses in an SOC includes an on-die RAM storing a blown-fuse count and a TPM state including a PIN-attempt-failure count and a fuse count, read from off-die NV memory. During initialization, if the blown-fuse count is greater than TPM state fuse count, TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is incremented, thereby thwarting a replay attack. A PIN is received for access, and if the TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count satisfies a policy, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count incremented. If the fuse blow fails, TPM activity is halted. If the fuse blow succeeds and the PIN is correct, the TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is cleared, but if the PIN is incorrect the TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is incremented. TPM state fuse count is set equal to the blown-fuse count, and the TPM state is saved to off-die NV memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ling Tony Chen, Felix Domke, Ankur Choudhary, Bradley Joseph Litterell

Publication number: 20230237154Abstract: A TPM is implemented in an SOC for thwarting PIN state replay attacks. Programmable fuses are used as a counter and an on-die RAM stores a blown-fuse count and a TPM state that includes a PIN-failure count and a fuse count. TPM initialization includes incrementing the TPM state PIN-failure count if the blown-fuse count is greater than the TPM state fuse count. Once a PIN is received, if the TPM state PIN-failure count satisfies a PIN failure policy and the PIN is correct, the TPM state PIN-failure count is cleared, and if the PIN is incorrect, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count is incremented. If the fuse blow fails, TPM activity is halted. If the fuse blow succeeds, the TPM state PIN-failure count is incremented and the TPM state fuse count is set equal to the blown-fuse count. The TPM state is saved to off-die non-volatile memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ling Tony CHEN, Felix DOMKE, Ankur CHOUDHARY, Bradley Joseph LITTERELL

Patent number: 11200213Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to techniques for dynamically aggregating data records from separate sources. The data merging process can be implemented by an aggregation computing resource that uses a lockstep paging system to query multiple database platforms for the same range of records, merges the records returned by the database platforms, and continues identifying a next range of records for which the database platforms should be queried until all records have been merged into a single listing. These techniques can be used to unify records during a database migration process.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Oscar Allen Grim Courchaine, Ankur Choudhary, Frank Harris, Alok Nath Katiyar
