Patent number: 12254288Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2024Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Synchrony BankInventors: Richard Carrasco, David Chau, Nitish Asgekar

Publication number: 20250045752Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: Synchrony BankInventors: Viveka Vardhan Ravi, Tushar Divecha, Deborah Bernert, Jonathan M.

Patent number: 12219065Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2024Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Synchrony BankInventors: Shaoyen Chang, William Mahoney, Chidhambaram Mathevan Pillai, Seulkee Park, Jeremy T.

Patent number: 12177353Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: SYNCHRONY BANKInventors: William Mahoney, Chidhambaram Pillai
