Patent number: 11036835Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating attacks that exploit vulnerabilities of a website are provided, according to various embodiments described below and herein. A computing device issues a request for a web page that is stored on a server. The server receives a request and issues a response that includes the requested web page and interceptor code injected into the response. The computing device receives the response, renders the web content and generates an interceptor from the interceptor code. The interceptor intercepts requests, responses to dynamically update the webpage and responses containing a challenge. When a computing device issues a request to the server to dynamically update the webpage, the server issues a response to the computing device that includes a challenge. Once computing device issues a request that includes an answer to the challenge, the server validates the answer and issues a response that dynamically updates the webpage.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Srinivasan Raman, Venkateswara Rao Karri, Sanjeev Koranga

Patent number: 11030840Abstract: A wearable device is used to authenticate a user into a user account at a user device of the user. In particular, the wearable device may include a sensor configured to detect whether the wearable device is worn by or is with the user. If so, the wearable device may send a signal to the user device and the user device may authenticate the user based on the signal received from the wearable device. For example, when the sensor detects that the wearable device is worn by the user, the wearable device may send a unique signal periodically, such as every five seconds or every 10 seconds. Based on whether the unique signal from the wearable device is received, the user device may authenticate the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Megan Marie Williams, Michael Hwang, Michelle Serrano

Patent number: 11032210Abstract: A load balancer receives a sequence of requests for computing service and distributes the requests for computing service to a computing node in an ordered list of computing nodes until the computing node reaches its maximum allowable compute capability. Responsive to an indication that the computing node has reached its maximum allowable compute capability, the load balancer distributes subsequent requests for computing service to another computing node in the ordered list. If the computing node is the last computing node in the ordered list, the load balancer distributes a subsequent request for computing service to a computing node other than one of the computing nodes in the ordered list of computing nodes. If the computing node is not the last computing node in the ordered list, the load balancer distributes a subsequent request for computing service to another computing node in the ordered list of computing nodes.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Rema Hariharan, Sathyamangalam Ramaswamy Venkatramanan, Ashok Srinivasa Murthy, Rami El-Charif

Patent number: 11017070Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for visual data processing of mimed images for authentication. Authentication may be required for a user and/or an account of the user, for example, to verify the identity of the user or allow the user to access and use the account of the user. As an additional factor to authentication, increased authentication may be accomplished through who and what the user is, such as through facial recognition and biometrics of the user. During authentication, the user may be presented with a set of images or icons, such as digital emojis, that convey and emotion or idea. The user may be asked to mimic the emojis during authentication, where the user's facial expression is recorded. To authenticate the user, the recorded data may be compared to past data through facial recognition processing and image analysis to find similarities.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Srivathsan Narasimhan

Patent number: 11017055Abstract: Techniques for identifying weaknesses in a probabilistic model such as an artificial neural network using an iterative process are disclosed. A seed file may be obtained and variant files generated therefrom. The variant files may be evaluated for their fitness, based upon the ability of the variant files to cause the probabilistic model to fail. The fittest variants, which may refer to those variants that are most successful in causing the model to fail, may be selected. From these selected variants, a next generation of variant files may be created. The next generation of variant files may be evaluated for their fitness. At each step of fitness evaluation or at the end of the iterative process, a map of the fittest variants may be generated to identify hotspots. These hotspots may reveal segments of code or a file that are problematic for the model, which can be used to improve the model.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Yuri Shafet, Shlomi Boutnaru, Artum Zolotushko, Eyal Ben Simon, Amit Benbassat
