  • Patent number: 11100279
    Abstract: A method, a system and a machine-readable data carrier, which are intended to classify input fields and groups of input fields of a webpage, are described. The method for classifying input fields and groups of input fields of a webpage may include a browser extension that contains program elements Content Script and Background Script and a program recognition module. The method may form a hierarchy of HTML-documents of a webpage. A multicomponent system for classifying input fields and groups of input fields of a webpage may include a processor device and a storage, and a set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to form a hierarchy with grouped fields and a report file for HTML-documents of the webpage. The instructions may also identify elements of the HTML-documents on the webpage.

  • Publication number: 20180158137
    Abstract: An intermediary service provider is established to automatically request a corresponding security freeze at each of many redundant credit bureaus upon the enrollment of a particular consumer with the service provider. Each request of a security freeze to each credit bureau prompts that respective credit bureau to generate a unique identification code. Only the return of the correct respective unique identification code will enable the respective security freeze to be released. Accordingly, with the automated support of the service provider, the particular consumer seizes control of their security freeze credentials from each credit bureau before an identity thief can wreck havoc.

  • Patent number: 9858567
    Abstract: A system and method for providing card verification values for card-not-present transactions is described. In one example, a user's computing device stores single-use CVVs to be provided from a secure wallet. The secure wallet may be software running on the user's computing device. Alternatively, it may be an external device connectable to the user's computing device, which accesses the external device to obtain the single-use CVV.

  • Patent number: 9848324
    Abstract: Physical security methods and equipment are applied to mobile devices that use multi-factor authentication mobile apps. Herein, a password management mobile app physically escrows each encrypted password that must be stored into two parts. These are then distributed between two separate, independent physical devices. Only one of those parts is kept only in a separate user gadget like a keyfob. Any reconstitution of each password after decryption requires that the user have on-hand both the mobile device and the separate user gadget. Such reconstitution is one password at a time, and only as needed, and released for use in remote authentication with a master user password entry.

  • Patent number: 9705865
    Abstract: A system for secure information storage and delivery includes a vault repository that includes a secure vault associated with a user, wherein the secure vault is associated with a service level including at least one of a data type or a data size limit associated with the secure vault, the secure vault being adapted to receive and at least one data entry and securely store the at least one data entry if the at least one of a size or a type of the at least one data entry is consistent with the service level. A mobile vault server coupled to the vault repository creates a mobile vault on a mobile device based on the secure vault and is capable of authenticating the mobile device based on user authentication information. The mobile vault server includes a mobile device handler that communicates with the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8601557
    Abstract: A system for secure information storage and delivery includes a vault repository that includes a secure vault associated with a user, wherein the secure vault is configured to receive at least one data entry. A mobile vault server coupled to the vault repository creates a mobile vault on a mobile device based on the secure vault and is capable of authenticating the mobile device based on user authentication information. The mobile vault server includes a mobile device handler that communicates with the mobile device. A synchronization utility determines whether the at least one data entry on the secure vault is transferable to or storable on the mobile vault. and transfers the data entry from the secure vault to a corresponding data entry on the mobile vault if the at least one data entry on the secure vault is determined to be transferable to or storable on the mobile vault.

  • Publication number: 20080208726
    Abstract: An enterprising identity thief may open new credit accounts in a consumer's name and then place a credit freeze on a consumer's credit file, thus making it more difficult to detect or remedy the identity theft. This problem may be solved by automatically requesting a security freeze at each of the three main credit bureaus upon the enrollment of a consumer with the service provider. The requesting of the security freeze may result in the credit bureau generating an identification code for the consumer at each of the credit bureaus. The service provider then may immediately request that the security freeze be removed. Accordingly, the consumer may gain control of the security freeze credentials from each credit bureau before the identity thief.
