  • Publication number: 20220060430
    Abstract: Systems and methods of dynamic resource allocation. The system may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor-executable instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to: receive a signal representing a resource allocation request; determine a projected resource availability based on a resource model and a second data set including at least one data record unrepresented in batched historical data sets, the batched historical data sets including data records representing at least one of recurring or non-recurring resource allocations, and wherein the resource model is prior-trained based on the batched historical data sets; and generate an output signal for displaying the projected resource availability corresponding with the resource allocation request.

  • Publication number: 20220029987
    Abstract: An approach for increasing security of biometric templates is described. An improved system is adapted to split a full set of features or representations of a trained model into a first partial template and a second partial template, the second partial template being stored on a secure enclave accessible only through zero-knowledge proof based interfaces. During verification using the template, a new full set of features is received for comparison, and a model is loaded based on the available portions of the model. Comparison utilizing the second partial template requires the computation of zero-knowledge proofs as direct access to the underlying second partial template is prohibited by the secure enclave.

    Abstract: Systems (100), methods, and machine-executable data structures for the processing of data for the secure creation, administration, manipulation, processing, and storage of electronic data useful in the processing of electronic payment transactions and other secure data processes. Aspects of such systems (100) include trusted platforms (120) by which networked communication devices (110) and merchant systems (130) may registered as trusted entities 110?, 130. Information associated with particular payment means, such as accounts or payment tokens, can be stored on device(s) secure data sets known as virtual or electronic wallets (112), or in the form of secure payment tokens. Common application programming interfaces executed by devices (110) may facilitate push and pull processes between electronic wallets (112) and other secure data stores (136, 120, 160). Users (190) may thereby initiate and complete electronic transactions directly from within applications on trusted devices (110?).
