Abstract: A user device generates an initiate interaction request message comprising a state commitment. The user device provides the initiate interaction request message to a first server computer, which creates a verify state request message comprising an interaction index, an interaction index commitment, and a first commitment signature formed from the state commitment and the interaction index commitment. The user device receives the verify state request message, then generates a modified verify state request message comprising a user device public key, the state commitment, the interaction index commitment, and the first commitment signature. The user device provides the modified verify state request message to a second server computer. The second server computer verifies the state commitment, verifies the first commitment signature, and creates a second commitment signature formed from the state commitment and the interaction index commitment.

Abstract: In some embodiments, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) parameters may be used to bind access tokens to authorize web-browser-initiated network operations. In some embodiments, a user input at a data exchange gateway associated with a first website to perform a first network operation (e.g., a request to access resources associated with the first website) may be detected. In response to the detected user input, an access token may be generated based on user specific information associated with the user, where the access token is associated with one or more network operation parameters. In response to a use of the access token for authorizing the first network operation and successful authorization of the first network operation, the access token may be configured to be bound to a first URL identifier parameter associated with the first website.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for converting queries and scripts used in big data systems. A script conversion system converts a script and its queries from a first big data format to a second big data format. The script conversion system uses a configuration mapping that includes direct and/or indirect function mappings. For the direct mapping, the script conversion system replaces the function with a new function in the second big data format. For the indirect mapping, the script conversion system constructs an equivalent function in the second big data format using information extracted from parsing queries in the first big data format. The script conversion system also formats a converted query using a project mapping and/or generates a conversion report indicating successful or unsuccessful conversions. Scripts may be converted from an on-premises data warehouse system to a cloud-based data warehouse system.

Abstract: Dependency on limited availability of subject matter experts (SMEs) who are well versed in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) technology is a significant barrier to MDE utilized for generating conceptual models. In the present disclosure, MDE and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) operate in a symbiotic relationship complimenting respective strengths and overcoming limitations. The generative AI techniques lower the knowledge barrier and enable domain SMEs to construct purposive models by operating at natural language level instead of at MDE technology level, thereby simplifying the method of generating conceptual models that are purposive. When operating at natural language level, the method and system of the present disclosure ensures that the generative AI receives focused and well directed prompts to optimize the number of interactions and reduce computing power utilized.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for orchestrating application use while preventing unauthorized data sharing. For instance, an orchestration management system may provide orchestration logic to a computing platform system hosting a virtual environment configured to run an application on behalf of a data owner computing device. Once the orchestration logic is loaded thereon, a public key to and a location of the virtual environment may be provided to an application owner's computing device. The orchestration logic may enable the application owner's computing device to access the virtual environment at the location to load the application into the virtual environment utilizing a first key combination including the public key and a matching private key. At least the private key may then be disabled by the orchestration logic to prevent subsequent access to the virtual environment by the application owner to guarantee no unauthorized data sharing.

Abstract: A system is configured to determine whether a first exchange rate at the time of authorization is eligible to be used as the exchange rate at the time of clearing. The system evaluates the transaction with a scoring model and stores eligible transactions in a rate matching database. The system further evaluates the transaction with a cross-currency transaction policy, according to the currency exchange rate between a foreign currency and the domestic currency of the cardholder. The system queries the rate matching database to retrieve the first exchange rate stored at the time of authorization.

Abstract: Orders received by an electronic trading system are processed in batches based on the instrument to which an order relates. An incoming order is assigned to a queue of a queue set that makes up the batch according to a random process. Where orders are received from related trading parties, they are assigned to the same queue set according to their time of receipt. The batch has a random duration within defined minimum and maximum durations and at the end of the batch, the orders held in the queues are transferred to a matching thread of the trading system sequentially with one order being removed from each queue and a number of passes of the queues completed until orders have been removed.
