  • Patent number: 11963002
    Abstract: A method for recovering a network key, a method for transmitting a network key, and a method for managing recovery of a network key. The method for recovering a network key from a point of access to a network is implemented by a terminal, with the network key allowing the terminal to be associated with the point of access during the first connection of the terminal to the point of access. The recovery method includes receiving, by a terminal, a network key transmitted via a mediation server by a point of access, the terminal having been identified by the mediation server by using an association, prior to the first connection, of an identifier of the terminal and an identifier of the point of access. Thus, the key cannot be easily recovered by a third party and limits intrusions into the private network managed by the point of access.

  • Patent number: 11924234
    Abstract: A client device accesses content and performs actions at a remote application server via a user-agent application. The application server directs the user-agent application to a security verification system to retrieve and perform security tests. The security verification system receives information from the user-agent application describing characteristics of the user-agent application, and the security verification system selects a set of security tests to be performed by a security module executing in the user-agent application to verify that the user-agent application is accessing the application server consistent with the described user-agent application. The security verification system compares a set of test results with other user-agent applications and provides a token to the user-agent application to access the application server. The security module may also monitor and actions on the user-agent application to permit the security verification system to revise or revoke the token.

  • Patent number: 11888851
    Abstract: A server transmits to a third-party application a request for a resource that is received from a client. The server receives an authentication request from the client device that has been generated by the third-party application. The server transmits an identity provider selection page to the client device that allows the client device to select an identity provider. The server causes the client device to transmit a second authentication request to a selected identity provider. The server receives an authentication response that was generated by the identity provider that includes the identity of the user. The server enforces access rule(s) including identity-based rule(s) and/or non-identity based rule(s). If the user is permitted to access the third-party application, the server causes an authentication response to be transmitted from the client device to the third-party application that indicates the user has successfully authenticated.

  • Patent number: 11829999
    Abstract: A system and method for generating and provisioning payment credentials to a mobile device lacking a secure element includes receiving and storing by the mobile device a card profile from a remote system. The card profile may include payment credentials corresponding to a payment account and a profile identifier. The mobile device may receive a mobile personal identification number (PIN) input by a user of the mobile device and transmit a key request to the remote system. The mobile device may receive a single use key which may include an application transaction counter and a generating key from the remote system. The mobile device may generate a payment cryptogram valid for a single financial transaction based on the received single use key and the mobile PIN and transmit the payment credentials and the generated payment cryptogram to a point-of-sale terminal for use in a financial transaction.

  • Patent number: 11824965
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables packet handling based on user information included in packet headers. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, in a gateway to a network environment, establishing a first connection with a first connection endpoint outside of the network environment. The first connection is established based on authentication of user information received from the first connection endpoint. The method further provides adding the user information to a packet header of one or more first packets carrying a request to establish a second connection between the gateway and a second connection endpoint within the network environment. Also, the method provides transferring the one or more first packets towards the second connection endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11822437
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to dynamic shadow operations configured to dynamically shadow data-plane resources in a network device. In some embodiments, the dynamic resource shadow operations are used to locally maintain a shadow copy of data plane resources to avoid having to read them through a bus interconnect. In other embodiments, the dynamic shadow framework is used to provide memory protection for hardware resources against SEU failures. The dynamic shadow framework may operate in conjunction with adaptive memory scrubbing operations. In other embodiments, the dynamic shadow infrastructure is used to facilitate fast boot-up and fast upgrade operations.

  • Patent number: 11824992
    Abstract: Technologies are shown for secure token refresh where a client receives a first access token from an authentication service, generates an asymmetric key pair, stores the first access token in association with a private key, and sends a public key to the authentication service. The service stores the public key in association with the first access token. The client sends a refresh token request to the service with the first access token. The service responds with a verification request with proof data. The client signs the proof data with the private key and sends the signed proof data to the service. The service verifies the signed proof data using the public key associated with the first access token, creates a second access token that is stored in association with the public key, and sends the second access token to the client, which stores it in association with the private key.

  • Patent number: 11818584
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for discovery and onboarding in an interconnected network framework of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are described. In an example, a technique for onboarding and provisioning a device onto an interconnected network framework includes operations to: receive a unique temporary device identifier from a device instance, the device instance indicating availability for onboarding onto a network; onboard the device instance onto the network; establish a secure session with the device instance via the network; receive, in the secure session, a secure device identifier; and initiate provisioning of the device instance in a secure directory based on the secure device identifier. In a further example, techniques are provided to securely identify and provision a second device instance (a doppelganger device instance) operating on a physical device that hosts both the first device instance and the second device instance.

  • Patent number: 11818140
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for targeted authentication queries based on detected user actions. A user may perform various actions during a day, including online, electronic, or digital actions, such as social networking, messaging, and media consumption, as well as real-life actions, such as exercise, travel, and purchases. The actions may be used to determine a user history for the user by a service provider. When the user wishes to login to an account or otherwise authenticate the identity of the user, the user may provide login or authentication credentials. The credentials may be used to look up the user history and cause the service provider to generate an authentication—query for the user based on events associated with the user in the user history. The query may be utilized to further authenticate the user by requiring the user to respond with the event associated with the user.
