  • Patent number: 11916913
    Abstract: A user requests to join a meeting is detected. The meeting includes a meeting audio stream of one or more participant audio streams that include participant timestamps that correspond to when one or more other users are in the meeting. The user is prompted for an authentication credential based on the detecting the request to join the meeting. A participant profile of the user is determined based the authentication credential. The user is authorized access to the meeting and a first timestamp is saved. A first audio stream of the user is recorded. The user is identified as having left the meeting and a second timestamp is saved. A transcript of the meeting audio stream is generated based on the first audio stream and the one or more participant audio streams. The first timestamp, the second timestamp, and the meeting are associated with the participant profile.

  • Patent number: 11888853
    Abstract: An application for dynamic, granular access permissions can include a database interface, a user interface, a login process, an administrator, an event handler and an authorization process. The database interface can be an interface to an access control permissions database that stores roles, actions, or policies for users of the application. The login process can authenticate a user and determine a default set of access control permissions for that user when they are using the user interface. The administrator can provide access control permissions for a user by using the database interface. The event handler can dynamically modify access to functionality in the user interface based on an event. The authorization process can determine whether a request from the user interface is authorized before process the request. The authorization process can use access control permissions from the administrator and either a scope limited or a temporally limited access permission.

  • Patent number: 11870781
    Abstract: Systems and methods authenticate an end user of an enterprise with an external service provider. The enterprise comprises an identity provider and an entitlements data store that communicate via web services calls. The identity provider makes a determination of whether an end user is authorized to access the external service provider based on: (i) authentication of the end user by the identity provider; and (ii) data from the entitlements data store for the end user with respect to the external service provider. Upon a determination by the identity provider that the end user is authorized to access the external service provider, the identity provider send a SAML token to the end user. The SAML token comprises an XML representation of entitlement information for the end user for the external service provider.

  • Patent number: 11832347
    Abstract: In a subscription profile downloading method when an application in a device triggers subscription profile downloading, an operator server sends, to a subscription management server, authentication information of an application allowed to initiate subscription profile downloading; and when receiving an authentication request sent by the device, the subscription management server uses the authentication information to attempt to authenticate the application initiating subscription profile downloading in the device, and provides subscription profile downloading for the device after the authentication succeeds. The subscription management server may add the authentication information to a subscription profile downloaded last time and send the subscription profile to the device, and when the device downloads a different subscription profile next time, the device may use the authentication information in the subscription profile downloaded last time to attempt to authenticate the application.

  • Patent number: 11805127
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for processing tokens in identity assertions for access control to resources. A server may receive, via an interface from a gateway, a request to permit a customer device to access a resource associated with the server. The request may include an identifier for the customer device and a first token used to authenticate the customer device at the gateway. The server may generate, responsive to validating the first token, a second token to be used to authorize the customer device at the server for access to the resource. The server may store, on a database, an association identifying the identifier, the first token, and the second token.

  • Patent number: 11736472
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems and machine-readable mediums which allow for more secure authentication attempts by implementing authentication systems with credentials that include interspersed noise symbols in well-distributed positions determined by the user. These systems secure against eavesdroppers such as shoulder-surfers or man-in-the middle attacks as it is difficult for an eavesdropper to separate the well-distributed noise symbols from legitimate credential symbols.

  • Patent number: 11689928
    Abstract: Systems and methods detect a potential hacking attack by monitoring the number and timing of DELBA (Delete Block Acknowledgement) action frames. When the number and timing of the DELBA action frames correspond to an unauthorized access pattern, an unauthorized access is detected. The potential unauthorized access may be detected by an access point (AP) or by the AP and a backend system. When a potential unauthorized access is detected, the AP may remain in silent mode for a longer period of time and limit access to the network to only trusted devices. In addition, an alarm or other notification of the potential unauthorized access may be provided to a user or other designated contact.
