  • Patent number: 11922383
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for verifying an identity of a user through contextual knowledge-based authentication. The system described uses contextual knowledge-based authentication. By verifying an identity of a user through contextual knowledge-based authentication, the verification is both more secure and more intuitive to the user. For example, by relying on confidential and/or proprietary information, the system may generate verification questions, the answers to which are known only by the user.

  • Publication number: 20240070669
    Abstract: Aspects discussed herein may relate to techniques for authenticating a user using transaction-based authentication questions. The transaction-based authentication questions may be provided to the user. The user may provide audible responses to the transaction-based authentication questions that may be captured by a smart device, such as an always on listening device. Authentication of the user may be based on voice analysis of the audible responses to the transaction-based authentication questions and/or based on the answers to the transaction-based authentication questions.

  • Publication number: 20240073214
    Abstract: In some embodiments, validation of network operations related to use of a token via a token request based on entity characteristics may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a token request indicating use of a token to access an item associated with an entity may be detected, where the token is bound to one or more entity characteristics. Based on the token request, an entity identifier associated with the entity may be obtained. Using the entity identifier, one or more item characteristics of items available via the entity may be determined. Determining whether the entity satisfies the one or more entity characteristic to which the token is bound may be determined based on the one or more item characteristics. Access to the item associated with the entity may be validated based on the determination indicating that the entity satisfies the one or more entity characteristics to which the token is bound.

  • Publication number: 20240070648
    Abstract: A device may receive an authorization request, associated with a transaction made by a user device as part of a checkout procedure of a website, that includes a virtual transaction card identifier of a virtual transaction card that is being used for the transaction, and a first merchant identifier for a merchant associated with the website. The device may perform a first authorization procedure to determine whether the first merchant identifier, included in the authorization request, satisfies a threshold level of similarity with a second merchant identifier associated with a request to generate the virtual transaction card that occurred prior to receiving the authorization request. The device may determine whether to forego a second authorization procedure based on a result of the first authorization procedure, and cause an authorization response, that includes an indication of whether the transaction is approved, to be provided to another device associated with the merchant.

  • Patent number: 11915313
    Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.

  • Publication number: 20240061846
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe customizing searching. Search queries may be customized according to a user's preferences. A user may emphasize or indicate that additional weight should be given to one or more terms in a search query. Terms that are weighted higher may have a larger impact on the results that are returned in response to the search query. In addition to changing the terms in a search query, a user may provide a weight for each term. Each term in a search query may be weighted to varying degrees, giving a user more control over the results that are returned. The weights may be used with machine learning techniques to generate a vector representation of a search query. The vector representation of the search query may be compared with vector representations of search objects to determine results that match the search query.

  • Publication number: 20240062210
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow transactions to be authenticated based on images taken at the transaction site. For example, a computing device may decline a transaction request based on a first category of the transaction indicated in the category information violates a transaction category restriction of the user account. The computing device may send, to a user device associated with the user account, an instruction to upload one or more photos that depict a physical environment where the transaction is requested. If the photos indicate the requested transaction belongs to another category that does not violate the transaction category restriction, the system may approve the transaction based on the photos.

  • Publication number: 20240062211
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for authenticating access to an account using questions which allow users to provide textual information about transactions conducted by an account. A machine learning model may be trained to predict the guessability of merchants. A request for access to an account may be received, and transaction data for that account may be received. An authentication question may be presented. For example, a user may be prompted to list places they have shopped recently. A user response comprising text data may be received. The text data may be processed to identify one or more merchants. If the one or more merchant(s) are represented in the transaction data, the machine learning model may be used to determine the guessability of the one or more merchants. An authentication score may be determined based on the guessability, and access to the account may be provided.

  • Patent number: 11907343
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving the accuracy of authentication questions using transaction limitations provided by users. A request for access to an account associated with a user may be received from a user device. An account restrictions database may be queried to determine one or more transaction rules associated with the account. The one or more transaction rules may have been created by the user and indicate limitations on financial transactions that may be performed via the account. An authentication question may be generated that is associated with a violation of the one or more transaction rules. The authentication question may be provided to the user device, and a response to the authentication question may be received. Access to the account may be provided to the user device based on the response.
