  • Patent number: 12363089
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to authentication. More specifically, some embodiments relate to systems and methods for mobile application infrastructure and framework for application authentication. Currently, methods and systems for authentication are not flexible or dynamic and over-authentication has become a solution because it is cheap and easy. In contrast, in accordance with some embodiments of this application, the methods and systems can analyze authentication challenges and non-authentication challenges received from a server over a network in a client side infrastructure. The client side infrastructure can determine a customized, flexible, and dynamic plan for responding to authentication challenges in manner that avoids over-authentication on the client side.

  • Patent number: 12355747
    Abstract: Techniques are described for client registration for authorizing an aggregator service to access data on behalf of an application, through self-registration of an application client identifier and issuance of authorization token(s) based on the application client identifier. Implementations provide a technique for dynamic client registration that avoids the need for manual vetting and manual generation of the client credential grant. Additionally, the implementations described herein enforce domain values around the scope and/or purpose of the client grant. This allows for support of application providers through a single point of registration that supports multi-layer and channel. This also allows for support of a scalable authorization solution for any suitable number of clients. The dynamic client registration process adds an additional layer of security through the OAuth client grant and mutual authentication.

  • Patent number: 12346975
    Abstract: To enable efficient processing of an insurance claim that is submitted by a client, the presently disclosed embodiments include systems and methods that enable an insurance computing system to autonomously assess the risk of fraud associated with a claim by generating a risk score. The risk score may provide an indication of a likelihood of fraud associated with the claim based on similar insurance claims in the same geographical area, client information indicative of a likelihood to commit fraud, and/or a type of the claim. The insurance computing system may compare the risk score with a threshold number, and if the threshold number is exceeded, the insurance computing system may prompt the client to contact a service representative to further process or validate the claim. Otherwise, if the threshold number is not exceeded, the insurance computing system may continue processing the claim autonomously.

  • Patent number: 12339991
    Abstract: Provided is a data protection system that operates to shield private data from detection or communication over a network. In an embodiment, the system includes a shielding device that, when active, provides a shielding output that shields, e.g., obscures, detection of private data by sensors of smart devices. The shielding may be selectively activated such that active sensors of the smart devices may operate or detect environmental events normally during times outside of the shielding. A data protection tool of the system may remove or shield private data generated by a user device, e.g., by modifying captured image data.
