  • Patent number: 11645399
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for searching encrypted data. A search query containing a plaintext key can be received from a client device or other application. A request can then be sent to a storage engine for a ciphertext key of a node of a binary tree, the node representing an encrypted key-value pair that includes the ciphertext key. The ciphertext key can be decrypted using a cryptographic key to generate a decrypted ciphertext key. Then, the decrypted ciphertext key can be compared to the plaintext key. A determination can then be made as to whether the encrypted key-value pair represented by the node of the binary tree satisfies the search query based at least in part on a comparison of the decrypted ciphertext key to the plaintext key.

  • Patent number: 11645070
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for enforcing requirements that documentation be up to date. In response to initiation of a build process for an application, a source-code file associated with the application is evaluated to determine an identifier and a location for a corresponding documentation file. A determination can be made regarding whether the documentation file exists at the location. Another determination can be made regarding whether each function specified in the source-code file has a corresponding entry in the documentation file. The build process can be halted in response to determining that at least one function specified in the source-code file fails to have the corresponding entry in the documentation file. If the build process is halted, a message can be displayed on the computing device, the message identifying the at least one function specified in the source-code file that fails to have the corresponding entry in the documentation file.

  • Publication number: 20230123759
    Abstract: Systems and methods of improving the operation of a transaction network and transaction network devices through use of a digital wallet fraud guard system are disclosed. A digital wallet fraud guard system may comprise various modules and engines, wherein the probability that a transaction is fraudulent may be evaluated for establishing better secured usage of transaction instruments. For instance, a triggered alert indication may visually indicate to an account user a fraud risk associated with a potential transaction prior to the exposure of the transaction instrument. In this manner, the transaction network more properly functions according to approved parameters by diminishing the risk of data loss and lessening the value of the transaction network as a target for fraud and thus network intrusions and disruptions.
