  • Patent number: 10069824
    Abstract: A biometric authentication system may include a centralized database including stored biometric signature information for authenticating a user of one or more external systems. The biometric authentication system may extract data attributes from a biometric signature of the user and compare them to the stored biometric signature information in the database. The biometric authentication system may identify user identifier information associated with a signature key stored of the stored biometric signature information that matches the data attributes to authenticate the user to access secure information.

  • Patent number: 10055605
    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: 20170139659
    Abstract: A device identifier for a user device may be identified from multiple device identifiers corresponding to multiple user devices. The device identifier is stored in a database in a memory location of a first set of memory locations including the device identifiers. The memory location may be associated with a separate memory location including a user identifier corresponding to the user. Application information is retrieved for web-based applications and stored in a second set of memory locations associated with the memory location including the device identifier. Customization information is retrieved for the web-based applications. The customization information includes location information for the web-based applications and corresponding secure information. A request for the secure information may be made to different systems and corresponding databases including the secure user information.

  • Publication number: 20160352524
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160335638
    Abstract: A transmission pairing system may include a transmission pairing stored in a secure database. The system may generate a transmission pairing by receiving a selection of a destination for the secure information from the secure database and determining a transmission type corresponding to the selected destination. The system may populate a list of available sources of the secure information based on the transmission type. A selected source may be received and paired with the selected destination to generate the transmission pairing. The transmission pairing may be used to initiate an electronic transmission based on a parameter that is modifiable to determine the secure information transmitted from the source to the destination.
