  • Patent number: 11581962
    Abstract: A radio transmitter adjusts its radio frequency (RF) fingerprint to defeat RF fingerprinting identification without destroying the content of its transmissions. The radio transmitter comprises a frequency-upconverter configured to upconvert a baseband or intermediate-frequency signal to an RF signal, and an amplifier to amplify the RF signal to produce a transmission signal. An RF fingerprint control circuit changes the non-linear behavior of the frequency-upconverter or the amplifier in order to change the RF fingerprint. The transmitter may create RF fingerprint “personalities” to be paired with different radio protocol behaviors and subscriber terminal identification codes (e.g., MAC addresses or SMSIs) for generating different radio identities.

  • Patent number: 11570169
    Abstract: Usage information of a user for a plurality of computing devices is identified. A usage pattern for each computing device of the plurality of computing devices of the user is developed based on the identified usage information of the user. An indication of the user accessing an application on a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices is received. The application requires one or more credentials for an authentication process associated with the application. A determination is made whether the user accessing the application using the first computing device is following the developed usage pattern of the user. Responsive to determining that the user accessing the application using the first computing device is not following developed usage pattern of the user, the authentication process associated with the application is interrupted.

  • Patent number: 11570165
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. The user is prompted to use a client device, such as a smartphone, to facilitate an authentication flow. A soundwave is played through the client device that contains a secret key, which is then sent to a service that validates the secret key. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created so that access to third party services can occur.

  • Patent number: 11558370
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for generation of dynamic authentication tokens for use in system-to-system transaction authorization and user identity verification. The system utilizes user historical data to generate unique authentication tokens which are customized to a particular user. Furthermore, the system rotates not only the encryption algorithms used, but also the datasets being encrypted in order to provide a high level of security such that even if a user's historical data was compromised, it would be highly unlikely that an attacker would be able to recreate the authentication token stemming from said historical data at any given point in time. The system eliminates the need for user-provided authentication credentials and provides a more secure and more efficient method of authenticating data exchange between multiple systems or applications.
