  • Patent number: 11985262
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing the secure transfer of assets between blockchain networks. The system can include a storage device that can store a bridge program that is programmed to perform (i) lock operations that lock native assets from a first blockchain network and mint synthetic assets representing the native assets in a second blockchain network, and (ii) unlock operations that unlock the native assets by transferring the native assets to an address in the first blockchain network in response to the synthetic assets being returned or destroyed. The system can include a computer system that loads and executes the bridge program in a secure computing enclave that provides a trusted execution environment. The computer system can then perform the lock operations and the unlock operations to provide a bridge between the first blockchain network and the second blockchain network.

  • Publication number: 20240086520
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing an application trusted execution environment. Various aspects may include performing attestation of each application enclave of a plurality of application enclaves for a plurality of applications. Aspects may also include receiving a request from a client. Aspects may also include selecting a load balancer to forward the request to the application enclaves. Aspects may also include determining a sensitivity level of the request that is associated with a secured environment parameter. Aspects may include routing, by an enclave server of the load balancer, the request to an application enclave according to the sensitivity level for execution of an application of the plurality of applications in the application trusted execution environment.

  • Publication number: 20240062301
    Abstract: A system for providing an exchange in a trusted execution environment can include an exchange program that is configured to provide a digital exchange for digital assets and a computer system with a secure enclave that is configured to provide the trusted execution environment within which processing of programs is secure from observation and manipulation by other operations outside of the secure enclave. Execution of the exchange program in the secure enclave can include loading the exchange program into secure memory within the secure enclave, performing an attestation operation on the exchange program loaded into the secure memory within the secure enclave, the attestation operation configured to validate the exchange program, and outputting results of the attestation operation to identify whether the exchange program loaded in the secure enclave is valid.

  • Publication number: 20240029157
    Abstract: In one implementation, a system to provide a secure crossing network for trading digital blockchain assets outside of an exchange can include a crossing network program that is configured to provide a crossing network for the digital blockchain assets and a computer system with a secure enclave that is configured to provide the trusted execution environment within which processing of programs is secure from observation and manipulation by other operations outside of the secure enclave. The execution of the crossing network program in the secure enclave receiving, from client devices, crossing network orders to trade assets within the crossing network; matching at least a portion of the crossing network orders in an order book; obtaining, using a pricing oracle, pricing information for transactions in the exchange; and determining a reference price for the matched orders within the crossing network based on the pricing information from the exchange.

  • Publication number: 20230390796
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to touchless dispensers that include features that are adjustable or selectable to receive various sized and shaped dispensers. For example, the dispensers may include a container and a dispense portion (e.g., a spray mechanism, a pump mechanism, or some other dispense mechanism). The touchless dispensers include a controller in electrical communication with a sensor and an actuator. When the sensor detects an object, the sensor sends a signal to the controller, and the controller interprets and reviews the signal from the sensor. If the controller determines an object is present, the controller sends a signal to the actuator, and the actuator moves in response to push against the dispenser. The actuator pushing against the dispenser causes the dispense portion to be depressed and to be dispense or expelled out of the touchless dispenser.

  • Patent number: 11763306
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying users in connection with transactions using biometric payment card devices are disclosed. One exemplary biometric payment card device generally includes a card body, a fingerprint sensor, a modem, and a processor coupled to the modem and the fingerprint sensor, where each of the fingerprint sensor, the modem, and the processor are disposed on the card body. The processor of the payment card device is configured to capture, via the fingerprint sensor, a fingerprint of a user associated with the payment account, compare the captured fingerprint to a reference fingerprint stored in memory in communication with the processor, and then compile and transmit, by the modem, an authentication result to an issuer of the payment account and/or a payment network associated with the payment account in response to the user being authenticated, or not, based on the comparison of the captured fingerprint and the reference fingerprint.
