  • Patent number: 11676610
    Abstract: Acoustic signatures can be used in connection with a voice-enabled computer system. An acoustic signature can be a specific noise pattern (or other sound) that is played while the user is speaking and that is mixed in the acoustic channel with the user's speech. The microphone of the voice-enabled computer system can capture, as recorded audio, a mix of the acoustic signature and the user's voice. The voice-enabled computer system can analyze the recorded audio (locally or at a backend server) to verify that the expected acoustic signature is present and/or that no previous acoustic signature is present.

  • Patent number: 11676138
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for enabling a transaction using a token associated with a first payment network to be conducted using a second payment network. When a transaction using a token is submitted to a payment network, the payment network can determine the payment network associated with the token. If the token is associated with a second payment network, a token verification request including the token can be sent to the second payment network. The second payment network can then return a token verification response including a primary account identifier such as a primary account number (PAN) corresponding to the token and a validation result. The transaction may then be processed using the primary account identifier.

  • Patent number: 11677729
    Abstract: A requestor and a responder may conduct secure communication by making API calls based on a secure multi-party protocol. The requestor may send a request data packet sent in a API request to the responder, where the request data packet can include at least a control block that is asymmetrically encrypted and a data block that is symmetrically encrypted. The responder may return a response data packet to the requestor, where the response data packet can include at least a control block and a data block that are both symmetrically encrypted. The requestor and the responder may derive the keys for decrypting the encrypted portions of the request and response data packets based on some information only known to the requestor and the responder. The secure multi-party protocol forgoes the need to store and manage keys in a hardware security module.
