  • Patent number: 11943215
    Abstract: Machines, devices, and other objects are configured to use authorization tokens to verify object identities without human input. In examples, the object uses a password to validate the object's identity to an authorization server to obtain an access token for use in multiple applications. In another example, the object uses a certificate to validate the object's identity to an authorization server to obtain an access token. In other examples, any other suitable identifying data may be used to validate the object's identity to an authorization server to obtain an access token. The process of using passwords, certificates, or other validation processes to obtain tokens or other authorization mechanisms allows the object to authenticate themselves without human interaction and to use a single identity to access services from multiple service providers that trust a central authorization server.

  • Patent number: 11736293
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for binding web components to protect accessing of resources. A first server may receive, from a second server, a request to provide access to content for a first web component on a web application of a customer device. The first server may determine whether to issue an identifier to the customer device responsive to validating the request. The first server may generate, responsive to the determination, the identifier to bind the first web component with a second web component to permit access to the content for the first web component on the web application. The first server may transmit, to the second server, a response including the identifier and the content.

  • Patent number: 10951633
    Abstract: Systems and methods involve an input layer function of a function-as-a-service (FaaS) pipeline that receives trigger data from a trigger layer function of one or more processors of enterprise processing systems, calls one or more processors of an enrich layer function of the FaaS pipeline that adds enriching context to the trigger data, and creates an event based at least in part on the enriched trigger data. A route layer function of the FaaS pipeline invoked by the input layer function creates an action based on the event created by the input layer function. An action layer function of the FaaS pipeline invoked by the route layer function creates a command based on the action created by the route layer function, and the action layer function sends a remediation action to a command layer function of the enterprise processor based on the action created by the route layer function.

  • Patent number: 10074089
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein allow an electronic transaction to be performed upon determining, via biometric data, that an authorized individual is conducting the transaction. This may involve receiving, by a computer system, a request to authorize an electronic transaction for an account. The computer system is configured to access a phone number, which is stored in computer memory and associated with the enrolled user of the account. An automated and outward call to the phone number is performed by the computer system. The computer system is configured to capture a voiceprint in association with voice data received from the automated call. The captured voiceprint is compared to a registered voiceprint, which is stored in the computer memory in association with the enrolled user. The computer system responds to the request to authorize the secure electronic transaction based on said comparison.

  • Patent number: 9654466
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing electronic transactions using dynamic password authentication involve, for example, sending, using a backend processor, a unique random or pseudorandom character string to the user's mobile device processor. Thereafter, also using the backend processor, a user identifier and a challenge string consisting at least in part of the user identifier and the random or pseudorandom character string encrypted with a unique encryption key may be received from the user's mobile device processor. Using the backend processor, a cipher input consisting at least in part of the user identifier and the random or pseudorandom character string is encrypted with the unique encryption key. The received encrypted challenge string is authenticated if the received encrypted challenge string matches the encrypted cipher input.
