  • Publication number: 20230077289
    Abstract: A system is provided for electronic data artifact testing using a hybrid centralized-decentralized computing platform. In particular, the system may comprise an artifact testing platform that may be accessed by users and computing devices within a network. Users may upload a data artifact to the artifact testing platform to be validated by the system. The system may then use a number of different validators (e.g., artificial intelligence-based modules) that may read the data artifact and/or the associated metadata and generate a confidence level based on the characteristics of the data artifact. The confidence levels from each validator may be aggregated to generate a final trust score for the data artifact. In this way, the system may provide a secure way to perform validation of data artifacts within a network environment.

  • Patent number: 11599523
    Abstract: A system is provided for computing system configuration file state identification using decentralized multidimensional snapshots. In particular, the system may generate multiple configuration file and/or system state snapshots from various different computing systems within the network environment. Accordingly, each snapshot taken may represent a unique perspective or dimension of the configuration files and/or system states based on the computing system that is executing the snapshot, and/or the time interval at which the snapshot is executed. Based on the snapshots, the system may use data analytics to compare the snapshots against one another to establish a baseline configuration file and/or system state such that deviations from the baseline may be subsequently detected. In this way, the system provides an effective way to detect changes in configuration files and system states.

  • Patent number: 11601136
    Abstract: A system is provided for electronic data compression by automated time-dependent compression algorithm. In particular, the system may track instances in which a particular dataset is used, copied, or accessed over time. For certain datasets (e.g., datasets that have not been accessed for a threshold amount of time), the system may use a time-based compression algorithm that progressively removes the least significant bits of such datasets as time passes. The compression of the datasets may continue until the system detects that further compression would cause the dataset to be unreadable or unrecoverable. In this way, the system may minimize the computing resources allocated to storing datasets that are not frequently accessed.

  • Patent number: 11601418
    Abstract: A system is provided for increasing authentication complexity for access to online systems. In particular, the system may use a hidden or obscured method for creating and enforcing a multi-factor authentication scheme. In this regard, the system may introduce authentication logic to a particular application in the network environment such that one or more “invalid” login credentials are generated by a local agent using a pre-shared key and/or algorithm. A back-end authentication system may be calculate its own set of “invalid” login credentials based on the same pre-shared key and/or algorithm, then subsequently compare the calculated incorrect credentials with the incorrect login credentials received from the local agent. If a match is detected, the system may permit a valid set of authentication credentials to be provided to authorize access to the target application and/or online system.

  • Patent number: 11593807
    Abstract: A system for verifying a user operating an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) sends an authentication media item to a user device associated with the user when the ATM receives a transaction request. The system receives, from the ATM, a first image of the authentication media item when the authentication media item is presented to the ATM. The system compares the first image of the authentication media item with a second image of the authentication media item stored in a user profile associated with the user. The system extracts a first unique code from the first image of the authentication media item, and a second unique code from the second image of the authentication media item. The system determines whether the first unique code corresponds to the second unique code. The system approves the transaction request if it is determined that the first unique code corresponds to the second unique code.

  • Publication number: 20230028290
    Abstract: A system is provided for electronic data encryption and decryption using a consensus draft process. In particular, the system may use a custom encryption algorithm that generates an array with a number of entries that is dependent on the number of computing devices that participate in the encryption process. The encryption algorithm may cause a first computing device to open and read the array, randomly select and remove an entry, and pass on the remaining entries to a second computing device. The second computing device may then open and read the array, randomly select and remove an entry, then pass the remaining entries to a third computing device. The process may be executed in a reiterative manner until the entire array is distributed among the participating computing devices. In this way, encryption of data may be performed without revealing shared information among the participating computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20230028339
    Abstract: A homomorphic encryption-based testing computing system provides a risk-based, automated, one-directional push of production data through a homomorphic encryption tool and distributes the encrypted data to use in testing of applications. Data elements and test requirements are considered when automatically selecting a homomorphic encryption algorithm. A decisioning component selects an algorithm to use to homomorphically encrypt the data set and a push mechanism performs one or both of the homomorphic encryption and distribution of the encrypted data set to at least one intended host. Once delivered, the testing software and/or testing procedures proceed using the encrypted data set, where results of the testing may be stored in a data store. A validation mechanism may validate the test data against production data and communicates whether testing was successful.
