  • Publication number: 20230221952
    Abstract: In some implementations, a server device may receive, from a client device, a script identifier, that identifies a script, and an indication of whether the script was successfully executed by the client device. The server device may determine whether a condition associated with disabling the script is satisfied based on the script identifier, the indication of whether the script was successfully executed by the client device, and stored information determined based on a plurality of indications of whether the script was successfully executed by a plurality of other client devices. The server device may selectively cause a data structure to be updated to indicate that the script is disabled based on determining whether the condition is satisfied. The data structure may be used to indicate whether the script is enabled prior to execution of the script.

  • Publication number: 20230169504
    Abstract: A toll transponder may receive transaction card data identifying a transaction card associated with a transaction account. The toll transponder may provide to a toll server device, and via a toll antenna of a toll collection system, a request for a transaction amount for a vehicle toll, and may receive a response requesting authorization for payment of the transaction amount. The toll transponder may determine, based on the response, an authorization request cryptogram for payment of the transaction amount, and generate an encrypted signal identifying the authorization request cryptogram, the transaction card data, and a toll transponder identifier identifying the toll transponder. The toll transponder may provide the encrypted signal to the toll server device via the toll antenna, and may receive from the toll server device, via the toll antenna, data indicating whether the transaction amount for the vehicle toll is approved.

  • Patent number: 11636276
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to improving card security by providing a user a contactless card with no sensitive card information, such as card number, card verification value, and expiration date, printed thereon, and displaying the sensitive card information relative to the card in augmented reality (AR) based on successful NFC-based user authentication. According to examples, the NFC-based user authentication may be performed by one-tapping or single tapping the contactless card to user mobile device. One or more portions of the sensitive card information may be obfuscated to further enhance card security. Moreover, the user can interact with AR elements including the sensitive card information to perform various actions.

  • Publication number: 20230105474
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells that have been engineered with genetic circuitry which allow the recombinant bacterial cells to sense a patient's internal environment and respond by turning an engineered metabolic pathway on or off. When turned on, the recombinant bacterial cells complete all of the steps in a metabolic pathway to achieve a therapeutic effect in a host subject. These recombinant bacterial cells are designed to drive therapeutic effects throughout the body of a host from a point of origin of the microbiome. Specifically, the present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells that comprise a uric acid catabolism enzyme, e.g., a uric acid degrading enzyme, for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with uric acid, including hyperuricemia and gout, in a subject. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating disorders associated with uric acid, such as hyperuricemia.

  • Publication number: 20230099864
    Abstract: A user profile scoring platform may analyze a transaction log of a transaction account of a user to determine, based on transactions of the transaction log, a qualification status of the user, wherein the qualification status indicates that a characteristic of the user satisfies a threshold qualification metric. The user profile scoring platform may determine, based on the qualification status, a transaction-based score associated with the user, wherein the transaction-based score is determined using a transaction log analysis model. The user profile scoring platform may obtain, based on receiving the access information, a user score associated with a user transaction history that is associated with a plurality of transaction accounts that are associated with the user and different from the transaction account. The user profile scoring platform may perform an action based on the transaction-based score and the user score.

  • Publication number: 20220417024
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for cryptographic authentication to control access to storage devices. An applet executing on a processor of a contactless card may receive, via a wireless communications interface of the contactless card, a request to access a storage device of the contactless card, where the storage device is in a locked state. The applet may generate a cryptogram based on the request and transmit the cryptogram to a computing device via the wireless communications interface. The applet may receive, from the computing device, an indication specifying that a server decrypted the cryptogram. The applet may transmit, to a controller of the storage device and based on the indication specifying that the server decrypted the cryptogram, an indication specifying to unlock the storage device. The controller may transition the storage device from the locked state to an unlocked state based on the indication received from the applet.
