  • Patent number: 12373884
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a customer a central location to manage permissions provided to third-parties and devices to access and use customer information maintained by a financial institution are described. The central location serves as a central portal where a customer of the financial institution can manage all access to account information and personal information stored at the financial institution. Accordingly, the customer does not need to log into each individual third-party system or customer device to manage previously provided access to the customer information or to provision new access to the customer information.

  • Patent number: 12373579
    Abstract: A system and method for data processing and storage using quantum and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) computing. The method includes receiving a request for a search data item. The request includes a first information represented by classical binary bits. The request is converted into a converted request. The converted request includes the first information represented by quantum bits. One or more servers are searched based on the converted request using a quantum search algorithm. Search results are generated. The search results are ranked according to ranking rules. A highest-ranked result includes a second information represented by quantum bits. The highest-ranked result is converted to a converted highest-ranked result. The converted highest-ranked result includes the second information represented by DNA bits. The converted highest-ranked result is encrypted to generate an encrypted and converted highest-ranked result. The encrypted and converted highest-ranked result is stored in one or more DNA strands.

  • Patent number: 12368701
    Abstract: This application relates to a subscription data management method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: a first network element receives, from a second network element, a request message for subscription data; obtains a security token of a terminal device, where the security token is used to verify permission to obtain the subscription data; provides the security token for a blockchain, and queries the blockchain about the subscription data; and if verification succeeds, obtains address information of the subscription data from the blockchain, and sends the address information of the subscription data to the second network element. In the method, the permission to obtain the subscription data is determined by using the blockchain, so that when a subscribed network device does not participate, a visited network device can still obtain the subscription data.

  • Patent number: 12348640
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for creating and retrieving an immutable digital testimony involving activating a process on a device with a unique identifier and authenticating the creator of an immutable digital testimony using a unique user ID registered with a testimony network. The device activates associated cameras to generate a media stream. Frames are hashed using a selected scheme to create stream hashes, forming a live stream hash, and capturing metadata to be recorded on a blockchain. The stream media and hashing scheme are transmitted to a cloud server for storage, with cloud or distributed file system (DFS) addresses retrieved to determine where the media is saved. The live stream media is encrypted and sent to the DFS, encrypted media addresses are received, and the stream media is saved locally on the device.

  • Patent number: 12300371
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for authenticating requestors and granting access to a permissioned blockchain network shared among enterprise entities. A decentralized registry of credentialled users, in which credentialled users guard their own access information by keeping a private key of a public-private keypair enables systems to avoid keeping information of a large number of users in large, vulnerable containers. A further method removes authenticated users seeking to be forgotten from the registry of users and deletes any personally identifiable information of the withdrawing users.

  • Patent number: 12273601
    Abstract: A live media streaming architecture with real-time live watermarking wherein watermarks are added at a frame or subframe level. The architecture can use a UDP/WebRTC architecture, without requiring a content delivery network, which is not dependent on transmitting media by segments, thus allowing insertion of the watermark at a frame or subframe level. By inserting watermarks at a frame or subframe level, latency is minimized for media delivery to under 500 milliseconds (ms) and for extraction to about five to fifteen seconds.

  • Patent number: 12105842
    Abstract: The technology disclosed allows for leveraging decentralized credentials to achieve bidirectional authentication between two actors leveraging a messaging platform/system, such as email or another text-based system, verifiable credentials (VCs), and secure web endpoints. It empowers one party (“Sender”) to send a message enclosed with a Verifiable Presentation which allows another party (“Recipient”) to authenticate the message's provenance and the identity of the sender. Moreover, the message contains a link to a secure web endpoint, where the recipient can submit a response signed by their own Verifiable Presentation, allowing the Sender to authenticate the identity of the Recipient. In this way, both participants are able to authenticate each other's identities with an additional factor of authentication, with neither participant being required to share a single service.

  • Patent number: 12101304
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods disclosed herein provide technical solutions improving the security of email messages. An email message may be encrypted so that a predetermined passcode is not required to access the email message. Apparatus and methods may route email messages through a remote portal. The email message may only be transmitted to the recipient via the portal. In some instances, the contents of an email message may not be transmitted from the portal to the recipient. Rather, the recipient may only access the email message from within the portal. Such restricted access may be preferably less complex because the recipient's computer terminal may automatically connect to the portal.

  • Patent number: 12074964
    Abstract: A method for packaging blocks of a blockchain implemented in an electronic device. The method identifies whether a packaged block is valid, and extracts from a header of valid packaged block geographic location information of the submitting blockchain node. A mining difficulty of the electronic device is calculated according to the geographic location information of the electronic device and the blockchain node, and a random number is generated. A hash value is calculated according to the random number and a determination made as to whether the calculated hash value conforms to the mining difficulty. If the calculated hash value is determined to conform to the mining difficulty, the geographic location information of the electronic device is encoded into a new block and the new block is written into the blockchain.
