Patent number: 11985254Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a secured framework for facilitating electronic transactions using a multi-party computation approach. Under the multi-party computation approach, the task of authenticating a transaction conducted through a user account is distributed among multiple computer nodes. One or more secrets and shares of a secret are distributed among the multiple computer nodes. An authentication process is implemented such that at least a portion of the multiple computer nodes, including one or more required nodes, exceeding a predetermined number of nodes are needed to perform a set of computations using the corresponding secret(s) and/or shares of the secret in order to generate a digital signature for the user account. By verifying the digital signature using a public key of the user account, it can be determined that the participation requirement has been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Hubert Andre Le Van Gong, Khai Hanh Tang, Shanshan Hua, Siew Hoon Lim

Patent number: 11977528Abstract: Data streaming applications may need to provide high reliability, particularly depending on the nature of the data being streamed. A framework is described that allows a data streaming application to ensure high reliability both during update operations and during ordinary operations. A unique event ID count can be recorded that reflects messages being sent from a source to the streaming application. After an update and service restart, the count can again be collected to see if data is flowing through the streaming application as expected. Unique database record counts can be reviewed (e.g. after a restart or during ordinary operations) to ensure that no records are being unexpectedly dropped. Data content sampling can also be performed to see that any data transformations are functioning properly. Corrective actions (after a restart or during ordinary operations) can also be taken, including replay of database messages that are dropped, or sending an alert.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Siddharth Anand, Anisha Nainani, Jianliang Chen

Patent number: 11971976Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a sentence based automated Turing test for detecting scripted computing attacks. A computing may request access to a service or data from a service provider, where the service provider may be required to determine that the device is used by a user and not a bot executing a scripted or automated process/attack against the service provider. To authenticate that the device is used by a user, the service provider may determine and output a challenge that queries the user to fill in one or more missing words from a sentence. Acceptable answers may be based on past messages and internal data that is specific to the service provider, as well as an external corpus of documents. The service provider may also further authenticate the user based on the user's response and a likely user response for that user.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Yuri Shafet, Bradley Wardman, Nahman Khayet

Patent number: 11966923Abstract: System and method for facilitating account access delegation are provided. Login credentials are authenticated for a first account of a first funding source of a first user. A request from the first user to delegate, to a second account of a second user, access to the first funding source is received. A redirected login request from a merchant web application is further received. The redirected login request corresponds to the second account. A determination is made, based on the received request, that the second account is permissioned to use the first funding source.

Patent number: 11967298Abstract: A system or a method may be provided that may detect a movement or activity of a user via the user's mobile and/or wearable devices. The system may adjust the display interface based on the user's detected movement or activity. When a user is very active (biking or jogging), the user may have very limited amount of time or attention to interact with a display interface. The movement or activity of the user may be detected by a motion detection device installed on the mobile device or on the wearable device. When the user is active, the display interface may adjust to enlarge the information to make it easier for the user to view, read, or interact with. The system may also select and display important information, without other peripheral information (less important information) when the user is active.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Megan Marie O'Neill
