Patent number: 11190518Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of an improved multi-domain management system. The innovation provides mitigation of uncontrolled privilege and access, lacking defined roles for at user. The innovation mitigates risk of inadvertent error while not diminishing desired trans-domain user capability. Functions such as creating user and/or service accounts, group creations, group memberships, host memberships, and the like, may thus be undertaken from a single high level location, based on controlled user rules at that level, and may do so without regard or limitation to the specific domains or master server controls at the specific domains. Agnostic aspects are coupled with scalability regardless of number of domains.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.Inventors: Robyn Alexis Alexander, Patrick James Bair, Zachery Phillip Hostens, Arian Adolfo Amador, Joseph Gregory Acklin, Raymond Lawson Gump, Robert Patrick Smith

Patent number: 11188630Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a dynamic biometric enrollment system. The dynamic biometric enrollment includes a processor and instructions stored in non-transitory machine-readable media. The instructions are configured to cause the server system to receive at least one biometric authentication sample from the user. The at least one tokenized biometric enrollment sample has been generated by tokenizing at least one biometric enrollment sample captured from a user associated with a unique user identifier. At least one biometric authentication sample captured from the user is retrieved. The at least one tokenized biometric enrollment sample is detokenized to retrieve the at least one biometric enrollment sample. The at least one biometric enrollment sample is processed using a biometric processing algorithm to generate a dynamic biometric reference template. It is determined whether the at least one biometric authentication sample matches with the dynamic biometric reference template.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Phillip H.
