  • Patent number: 12177247
    Abstract: Systems and methods for security engine audit rules to prevent incorrect network address blocking are disclosed. An entity such as a service provider may determine network traffic logs caused or generated by malicious web traffic and network communications, such as during a computing attack by a bad actor. The service provider may implement automated blocking controllers, which use detection rules to detect the malicious network traffic, and thereafter generate a network address blocklist that is distributed to devices, components, and servers of the service provider for network address blocking. To ensure the integrity of the detection rules, audit rules and a dynamic exclusion macro may be executed to detect when a detection rule is behaving abnormally and/or leading to anomalous results. If a detection rule is not properly blocking network addresses, the rule may be removed from execution until recovery.

  • Patent number: 12169813
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for facilitating token sharing with contract issuers based on processing of smart contract transactions. The framework provides a mechanism for allowing one or more computer nodes within a blockchain network to opt-in to a token sharing agreement with a contract issuer and a mechanism for an opted-in computer node to share tokens with the contract issuer in a decentralized manner. When a computer node has opted-in to the token sharing agreement, the computer node, by executing a smart contract, performs a set of computer procedures that is non-productive to the processing of the smart contract transaction. The execution of the set of non-productive computer procedures provides an additional amount of processing fee based on the processing of the smart contract transaction. The computer node then transfers a portion of the additional amount of processing fee to an account of the contract issuer as part of the processing of the smart contract.

  • Patent number: 12169688
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to natural language processing. In some embodiments, a computer system receives unlabeled content. In some embodiments, the computer system embeds, using a machine learning model, the unlabeled content, where the embedding generates an unlabeled vector. In some embodiments, the computer system determines, from a plurality of labeled vectors stored in a vector index, a first set of labeled vectors that match the unlabeled vector, where the first set of labeled vectors are generated from a set of labeled content stored in a database. In some embodiments, the computer system assigns a new label to the unlabeled content, where the new label is selected from the first set of labeled vectors. In some embodiments, the computer system stores the newly labeled content in the database. The disclosed techniques may advantageously provide for automatically labeling content based on its semantic rather than its syntactic meaning.

  • Patent number: 12143376
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to verifying that an alias value is unique across multiple different network regions. In various embodiments a server system located in a first network region may maintain an alias map that specifies encoded versions of alias values that are in use across multiple different network regions. For example, for a given alias value, the alias map may specify a corresponding encoded version of the alias value and an identifier for a given one of the network regions with which the given alias value is associated. In various embodiments, the server system may receive a user-provided alias value from a user during an account registration process and, using the alias map, determine whether the user-provided alias value is already in use in any of the network regions.

  • Patent number: 12143405
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for injecting computing code for detection of malicious computing attacks during suspicious device behavior. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may detect activities of a computing device when using computing services. The service provider may determine that those activities are suspicious or high risk. In order to determine if the computing device is being used by a malicious user, such as to perform an automated computing attack against the service provider, the service provider may determine one or more probes that may be inserted to a corresponding user interface displayable by the computing device. The probe may attempt to differentiate between real human users and automated and/or malicious users. Computing code for the probe may be injected into the computing code for the user interface and may be provided when the user interface is output.

  • Patent number: 12136044
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to dynamically determining a data load process usable with a decision service for responding to requests to the decision service. The data load process may be selected from either a full data load process that loads data needed for all the rules in the decision service, or a selective data load process that loads data needed for a subset of the rules in the decision service according to embodiments. The decision service may determine the data load process to implement based on an evaluation of a decision blueprint in response to receiving the request, where the decision blueprint includes a set of rules interconnected by flow paths. Evaluation of properties of the rules and flow paths based on input data in the request may be used to determine the data load process to implement. Overall, this results in faster execution times in various circumstances.

  • Patent number: 12136121
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for enhancing a merchant product webpage by providing additional content associated with a product being displayed on the merchant product webpage. A product catalog stores product records corresponding to data associated with different products. As a webpage is accessed by a user device, data is extracted from the merchant product webpage. The extracted data is used to identify one or more product records in the product catalog that are potential matches to the webpage. When multiple product records are identified, a remote server is used to access and interact with the webpage separate from the user device. Additional data is extracted from the webpage based on interactions by the remote server with the webpage. The additional data is used to determine a single product record for the webpage. The webpage is modified based on the single product record.
