  • Patent number: 10536466
    Abstract: A network interface device can (i) detect electronic communications from a telecommunications network; (ii) extract an access request for protected data; and (iii) extract browser information about a browser on a user device used by a user to initiate the access request. The access request can include a network address of a device from which the electronic communications were transmitted. The browser information can indicate a time zone associated with the browser. The network address and the browser information can be independent of data about the user and of data transmitted from the network interface device. The network address and stored data about network addresses can be used to determine a time zone for the device. A result of comparing the time zones can be used to determine a level of authentication to require before allowing the protected data to be transmitted to the user device.

  • Patent number: 10372933
    Abstract: A method of the present disclosure includes a host system authenticating a user of the user device to access secure host information associated with the user in a database. A request may be transmitted to a third-party system to access secure third-party information stored by the third party based on third-party authentication information. The host system may receive the secure third-party information and store the secure third-party information in a memory location of the database that is associated with a different memory location including the secure host information. The memory location and the different memory location may be associated in the database based on a common information type. The host system may generate a graphical user interface that positions the secure host information and the secure third-party information in the graphical user interface based on their respective location in the database.

  • Publication number: 20190158295
    Abstract: An authentication system may receive a request signature corresponding to a user request to view secure user information on a user device and generate a server-side signature matching the request signature to authenticate the user device to receive the secure user information without authenticating the user. The request signature may include a device identifier corresponding to the device, a token code generated by the authentication system and stored by the user device, a timestamp corresponding to the transmission time of the request signature, and a version of the device identifier, the token code, and the timestamp encrypted using a signature key provided to the user device by the authentication system. The authentication system may generate the server-side signature using the timestamp and stored copies of the device identifier, the token code, and the signature key.
