  • Patent number: 12170661
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for augmented authentication using acoustic devices. The method includes receiving a transfer request including an NFT identifier from one of one or more acoustic devices. The NFT identifier corresponds to an acoustic device NFT associated with the given acoustic device and a device user. The method includes comparing the NFT identifier with one or more stored NFT identifiers to determine the given acoustic device associated with the NFT identifier. The method further includes confirming that the identity of the voice command user matches the device user associated with the acoustic device. The method still further includes causing an authentication of the transfer request upon confirming the acoustic device is associated with the voice command user.

  • Patent number: 12170657
    Abstract: Dynamic security queries are generated based on historical records for purposes of knowledge-based authentication. The dynamic nature of the queries and answers means that once generated, the queries and the answers are exclusively stored in temporary memory (i.e., Random Access Memory (RAM) or the like). As such, the queries and answers are permanently erased from RAM after they have been presented to the user or, at a maximum, are erased from RAM once the computing session is terminated. Moreover, since the queries/answers are determined from dynamic user-specific datasets compiled at the time of authentication, the present invention is able to generate knowledge-based queries that are not capable of identification by other parties from any level of personal record searching.

  • Patent number: 12169824
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for improving transaction security at a self-service kiosk are provided. A blank smart payment card may avoid storing sensitive identification data in an EMV chip or a magnetic stripe. The blank card may include a housing, with a wireless communication interface, microprocessor, and battery embedded in the housing. A card issuer may identify a dataset of sensitive information and apply dynamic clustering and encryption. The blank card may connect wirelessly to the issuer to obtain the encrypted clusters and store them in temporary storage. The blank card may self-authenticate to a kiosk by transmitting the encrypted clusters via a secure NFC connection. The kiosk may obtain a separate encryption key for each cluster from the issuer to decrypt and reconstruct the dataset. After every transaction, the issuer may apply new dynamic clustering to the dataset and replace the encrypted dataset stored on the blank card.

  • Patent number: 12169559
    Abstract: A system for improving data security for computing devices receives a data input stream indicating changes to data security threats posed to the computing devices. The system detects, based at least in part on the changes to the data security threats, a new data security threat posed to the computing devices. The system determines one or more available data security controls that align with the new data security threat. The one or more available data security controls comprise security countermeasures available to the computing devices for resolving the new data security threat. After determining that a security vulnerability rating is greater than a threshold value, at least one of the one or more available data security controls may be automatically implemented at the computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20240414155
    Abstract: Leveraging secure tokenization, such as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), for purposes of multifactor and/or elevated user authentication. In this regard, an authentication NFT is generated based at least on a user's authentication credentials. Subsequently, the authentication NFT is verified/validated via a private distributed trust computing network and stored, in a deactivated state, on a distributed ledger. Once the user is confronted with an elevated and/or multifactored authentication process, the user may initiates use of the authentication NFT by checking-out the authentication NFT from the distributed ledger and moving the authentication NFT from the deactivated state to an activated state, in which the user credentials are accessible to the user for purposes of authentication.

  • Publication number: 20240414010
    Abstract: A system is provided for authenticating peer-to-peer resource exchanges using non-fungible tokens. In particular, the system may store, on a distributed register, a secure token (e.g., a non-fungible token) associated with a particular resource. Subsequently, a user who may be the owner of such resource and/or the associated token may wish to execute a peer-to-peer exchange of the resource for a second resource. The system may, in response to receiving the second resource from a second user, initiate a process to transfer ownership of the secure token to the second user. In this way, the system provides an efficient and secure way to conduct peer-to-peer resource exchanges.

  • Patent number: 12165080
    Abstract: Big data searches, statistical computation and artificial intelligence is leveraged to determine the likelihood that a user will renounce an object post-resource event. Specifically, the present invention relies on object-identifying data and user data to key a plurality of data mining searches of big data sources. In response to extracting responsive data from the big data sources, the present invention implements statistical computing to determine a go/no-go indicator that indicates either that (i) the user is unlikely to renounce (i.e., abandon, fail to use and/or return) the object post-resource event, or (ii) the user is likely to renounce (i.e., abandon, fail to use and/or return) the object post-resource event. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to analyze previous likelihood of renunciation determinations to determine a confidence level which is used in the statistical computation of the go/no-go indicator.
