  • Patent number: 12670495
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, instructions, and other implementations are described for network data management. One embodiment involves request data received at a device associated with a digital lockbox, where the request data includes identifying information for an originating device associated with a location and is associated with a user device. A unique token is generated with the identifying information. The unique token can be used to tokenize a network link to create a secure one-time link. The system transmits the one-time link, which can then be used to facilitate secure communications between a computing system associated with the originating device and the user device.

  • Patent number: 12659159
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a dynamic encryption model in which dynamic encryption keys are associated with an access token having an expiration time. The access token is generated for a user session of a user application seeking to make API calls to a service provider system. When the access token expires, or becomes otherwise invalid, the dynamic encryption keys are discarded, and any further API calls are made using an updated access token and updated dynamic encryption keys. The dynamic encryption keys are used to encrypt specially designated fields of API calls and/or API call results.

  • Patent number: 12602688
    Abstract: Examples describe data security and routines structured to avoid conflicts. One example includes accessing data for a merchant website including a framework with a first routine for a function, and accessing an account security element for the merchant website with a second routine associated with an account security system for the function. The second routine is optimized to avoid conflicts with the first routine. The framework is automatically updated while the second routine is maintained with no changes. The merchant website data is then transmitted with the updated first routine and the account security element with the second routine, where the updated first routine and the second routine facilitate data security on the client device without framework conflicts when the updated first routine for the function and the second routine for the function operate concurrently on the client device.

  • Patent number: 12572331
    Abstract: Data selection systems and techniques are described. For instance, a system receives a data set with a plurality of data elements. The system generates a plurality of random values. The system generates a ranking of the plurality of random values. The system selects a subset of the plurality of data elements based on a comparison between the ranking and a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold is based on a predetermined proportion of the plurality of data elements to be included in the subset. The system outputs a randomization scheme that includes the ranking and the predetermined proportion, wherein a second selection of a second subset of the plurality of data elements is based on the randomization scheme. The system output an indication of the subset and the second subset.

  • Patent number: 12518276
    Abstract: Examples describe data security for communication systems. One example includes validating a merchant system using merchant data and generating a set of merchant credentials. The set of merchant credentials is then used in authentication to facilitate a secure transaction, which involves automatically generating transaction data with a tokenized client account number associated with the secure transaction. A refund request associated with the secure transaction is received with the set of merchant credentials that are used for automatically authenticating the merchant system. The example then involves accessing a database that includes the transaction data for automatically facilitating settlement of a refund payment using the authenticated merchant system and the transaction data.

  • Patent number: 12511681
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predictive gift subscriptions are provided. A gift subscription service may store a gift subscription and a profile associated with a gift recipient. The gift subscription service may then identify a time to send a gift to the gift recipient and associate a computational model with the gift recipient and the profile. When the gift subscription service determines a change in the profile, the gift subscription service may then update the computational model associated with the gift recipient in real-time by applying a machine learning algorithm to the change in the profile and use the updated computation model to formulate a prediction for the gift recipient that may then be used to identify a set of gifts to present to the gift recipient. The gift subscription service may then present the set of gifts to the gift recipient.
