Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information. A user additionally is able to have user data and third-party accounts of the user deleted from devices, applications, and third-party systems via a central portal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying an identity of a user. A method includes generating a tokenized biometric sample by tokenizing a biometric sample associated with the user by a computing system. The method further includes generating a digitally-signed tokenized biometric sample by digitally signing the tokenized biometric sample with a private key associated with the user by the computing system. The method further includes, responsive to a biometric reference template matching a signing party biometric sample associated with a signing party and a record, determining that the user matches the signing party by the computing system. The biometric reference template is based on biometric data extracted from the biometric sample. Authenticity and data integrity of the record is determined based on each of the record, the tokenized biometric sample, and a public key of a public/private key pair comprising the private key.

Abstract: Network entities of a network system are managed in an end-of-life context. A network system is scanned to determine network entities such as hardware devices and/or software applications. A network entity can be identified as vulnerable based on end-of-life data. A risk score for the vulnerable network entity is computed based on the end-of-life data and optionally other factors, and a potentially mitigating action is determined based on the risk score.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling a skew between multiple data lanes. In the method and apparatus, a first data lane control stage controls control outputting first data over a first data lane based on a first data lane clock and a second data lane control stage controls outputting second data over a second data lane based on a second data lane clock. In the method and apparatus, a first device is associated with a system clock and is configured to generate the first and second data for outputting over the first and second data lanes. A clock control stage causes the first and second data lane clocks to be offset from each other by a fixed time duration that is an integer fraction of a cycle duration of the system clock.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a high-voltage fault protection for an interface circuit. The interface circuit is transmitting data signals through an output driver to an external circuit coupled to a PAD contact. The output driver includes pull-up and pull-down drivers. The pull-up driver includes two series PMOS coupled between a voltage supply and the PAD. The pull-down driver includes two series NMOS coupled between the PAD and a ground node. A first safe signal is coupled to one PMOS. A first circuit scheme is designed to generate the first safe signal to be low-logical level voltage when the PAD voltage is lower than a threshold, while being high-logical level voltage when the PAD voltage is higher than the threshold. A second circuit scheme is designed to control one of the series NMOS to be in OFF state when the PAD voltage is higher than the threshold.
