Patent number: 11922423Abstract: The invention provides one or more consortia of networks that identify and share information about users and/or user devices interacting with the consortia. User devices may be identified, at least in part, by a delta of time parameter between a user device used and a reference time. Other parameters may be analyzed to identify a computer user and/or device and noteworthy transactions. The invention may be used for identity-based applications such as network security, the detection of fraudulent transactions, identity theft, ratings-based communities and law enforcement. User may be permitted to register user devices in order to control access for performing transactions.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: THE 41ST PARAMETER, INC.Inventor: Ori Eisen

Patent number: 11750584Abstract: The invention provides one or more consortia of networks that identify and share information about users and/or user devices interacting with the consortia. User devices may be identified, at least in part, by tag-based computer information. Computers and other devices accessing the Web carry device tags with date and time information describing when they were issued by a security tag server. A server time stamp may be inserted into time based computer tags such as a cookies indicating when they were created. Such time stamp information can be encrypted and analyzed during future attempts to access a secure network such as a customer attempting to log into an online banking account. When the time stamp information from the tag is compared to other selected information about the user, device and/or account, including but not limited to last account log-in date/time or account creation date, the invention may be used to detect suspicious activity.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: The 41st Parameter, Inc.Inventor: Ori Eisen

Patent number: 11727471Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for detecting when an online session is compromised. A plurality of device fingerprints may be collected from a user computer that is associated with a designated Session ID. A server may include pages that are delivered to a user for viewing in a browser at which time device fingerprints and Session ID information are collected. By collecting device fingerprints and session information at several locations among the pages delivered by the server throughout an online session, and not only one time or at log-in, a comparison between the fingerprints in association with a Session ID can identify the likelihood of session tampering and man-in-the middle attacks.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: The 41st Parameter, Inc.Inventor: Ori Eisen

Patent number: 11683306Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for persistent cross-application mobile device identification. A mobile device may have a plurality of sandboxes in memory containing applications. The mobile device may have a shared storage which may accessible by applications from different sandboxes. A storage location identifier may be used to access information in shared storage. A universal device identifier may be stored in the shared storage to identify the mobile device and may be accessible by multiple applications and updates to applications. The universal device identifier may be used to track the mobile device for advertising, fraud detection, reputation tracking, or other purposes.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: The 41st Parameter, Inc.Inventors: Ori Eisen, Raz Yalov

Patent number: 11657299Abstract: Systems and methods for determining uniqueness of device identifiers are provided. The uniqueness of a device identifier may be indicated by a device quality score or grade that is calculated based on a plurality of parameters associated with a device identifier as well as evaluation rules derived based on historical data. The plurality of parameters may be associated with a network event or transaction associated with the device identifier. The evaluation rules may be derived using machine learning techniques. Based on uniqueness of a device identifier, a suitable action or measure may be taken.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: The 41st Parameter, Inc.Inventors: Raz Yalov, Ernest Mugambi

Patent number: 11301860Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for accessing records using derivative locators. An open financial transaction may be initiated by a consumer at a merchant. The merchant may provide information relating to the transaction, which may include information about the consumer's device, to a repository. The merchant may provide transaction information to the acquiring bank, which may provide transaction to the global financial network, which may provide transaction information to an issuing bank. One or more requesting party (e.g., one or more of the acquiring bank, global financial network, or issuing bank) may formulate a derivative locator based on the transaction information received. The derivative locator may function as an index through which records in the repository may be accessed by the requesting party.

Patent number: 11238456Abstract: A system, method and device for detecting keystroke entries in a field entered by keyboard in connection with an online transaction that may be fraudulent or erroneous. A score can be assigned to a keystroke based upon its distance from another keystroke. The scores of keystrokes in a string can be summed to obtain a string score. The string score can be normalized by dividing the string score by the number of keystrokes summed to obtain the normalized string score. A risk of fraud or error can be determined based upon the value of the normalized string score in comparison to a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: The 41st Parameter, Inc.Inventor: Ori Eisen
