  • Systems and methods for communications channel authentication
    Patent number: 11082416
    Abstract: A user may access an institution system via more than one communications channel, either by the same device (e.g., a mobile device accessing the institution system via a voice channel and a data channel) or by different devices (e.g., a personal computer via a web channel and a phone via a voice channel). If a user is not currently authenticated to a communications channel and attempts to access the institution system via a communications channel, the user may be authenticated using strong authentication. If the user is currently authenticated to the institution system via a communications channel and would like to engage a second communications channel to access the institution system, the user may authenticate to the second communications channel using both communications channels and weak authentication, such as single factor authentication or a challenge question.

  • System and method for secure multitenant operations of a distributed computing cluster
    Patent number: 11070590
    Abstract: A system and a method for secure operator onboarding and creating an ingest job agent for secure multitenant operations of a distributed computing cluster are provided. Embodiments automate multitenant operations for distributed computing clusters. These operations include automation of operator onboarding, creation of logically segregated distributed data stores within the distributed computing clusters for the on-boarded operator, and creation of ingest agents with security isolation for transfer of large quantities of files into the distributed computing clusters.
