  • Patent number: 11954218
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and apparatuses for addressing the above problems through the use of access rules that involve analyzing historical access request result data for various data elements individually and in combination over a predefined time interval. An automated determination can be made for whether a transaction can be authenticated based upon the historical access request result data (e.g., ultimately, deciding whether the data element or set of data elements are associated with a valid access request).

  • Patent number: 11954197
    Abstract: A user may conduct a plurality of access requests with a plurality of resource provider computers. A processor server computer may determine whether resource provider computers store access data associated with the user in various ways, including detecting patterns in sets of a plurality of access requests conducted between the user and each of the plurality of resource provider computers. Upon detecting that access data has changed, the processor server computer may automatically send the updated access data to each of the identified resource provider computer.

  • Patent number: 11954517
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to Application Programming Interface (API) framework that discloses a computer implemented method, polling service system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing dynamic endpoints for performing data transactions with a corresponding candidate application server. The method has two phases: a polling phase and a transaction phase. In the polling phase, the polling service system receives a first API request from one or more source devices and provides a dynamic endpoint for the one or more source devices to interact with the corresponding candidate application server of their requirement. In the transaction phase, the corresponding candidate application server receives a second API request from the one or more source devices through the dynamic endpoint generated during the polling phase, and performs data transactions.

  • Patent number: 11948147
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for fallback authorization routing. A merchant processor may receive authorization requests from one or more merchant systems. These authorization requests may be to authorize a transaction. The merchant processor may transmit these authorization requests over a first communication channel to an acquirer processor, which may then forward the requests to a payment network. If the merchant processor determines that the acquirer processor is not receiving the authorization requests, or is otherwise unavailable, the merchant processor may, as a fallback, transmit the authorization requests directly to the payment network through a second communication channel, thereby bypassing the acquirer processor. When the merchant processor receives some indication that the acquirer processor is available to process authorization requests, new authorization requests can be transmitted to the acquirer processor via the first communication channel.

  • Patent number: 11947650
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method. The method may include transmitting, by a first device, an encrypted first biometric template generated from a first biometric sample of a user of the first device to a second device, wherein the second device inputs the encrypted first biometric template and a second biometric template generated from a second biometric sample of the user into a function to generate an encoded output. The first device may receive the encoded output from the second device, and may decode the encoded output to recover the encrypted first biometric template and the second biometric template of the user. Upon determining a match result between first and second biometric templates, the first device may transmit unique data to the second device.

  • Patent number: 11948064
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for cleaning noisy data from unlabeled datasets using autoencoders. A method includes receiving training data including noisy samples and other samples. An autoencoder network is trained based on the training data to increase a first metric based on the noisy samples and to reduce a second metric based on the other samples. Unlabeled data including unlabeled samples is received. A plurality of third outputs is generated by the autoencoder network based on the plurality of unlabeled samples. For each respective unlabeled sample, a respective third metric is determined based on the respective unlabeled sample and a respective third output, and whether to label the respective unlabeled sample as noisy or clean is determined based on the respective third metric and a threshold. Each respective unlabeled sample determined to be labeled as noisy is cleaned.

  • Patent number: 11941591
    Abstract: In order to make it more difficult to obtain numbers that can be used to conduct fraudulent transactions, a portion of a real account number is encrypted. The encrypted portion of the account number is used to generate a new account number, a new expiration date, and a new verification value. This information can be determined using processor that may reside in a point of sale terminal, a smart card, or a computer operated by a user. The new account number, the new expiration date, and the new verification value can be used in a payment transaction. A server computer in a central payment processing network may determine that the new account information is not the real account information, and may subsequently generate a modified authorization request message using the real account information and may send it to an issuer for approval. The transmission of data is more secure, since real account information is not sent from the merchant to the payment processing network.

  • Patent number: 11943363
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques for enabling biometric authentication without exposing the authorizing entity to sensitive information. In some embodiments, the system receives a biometric template from a user device which is encrypted using a public key associated with the system. The encrypted biometric template is then provided to a second entity along with a biometric identifier. Upon receiving a request to complete a transaction that includes the biometric identifier and a second biometric template, the second entity may encrypt the second biometric template using the same public key associated with the system and perform a comparison between the two encrypted biometric templates. The resulting match result data file is already encrypted and can be provided to the system to determine an extent to which the two biometric templates match.
