Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that leverage multi-factor authentication features of a service provider and intelligent call routing to increase security and efficiency at a customer call center. Pre-authentication of customer support requests reduces the potential for misappropriation of sensitive customer data during call handling. A contactless card uniquely associated with a client may provide a second factor of authentication via a backchannel to reduce the potential for malicious third-party impersonation of the client prior to transfer of the call to the customer call center. Pre-authorized customer support calls may be intelligently and efficiently routed directly to call center agents, without incurring further delay. During call handling, call center agents may initiate further client authentication processes, including contactless card authentication requests, over one or more different communication channels for authorizing access to sensitive information or to allay suspicion.

Abstract: A method for providing multicast frames in a Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) is provided herein. An Access Point (AP) can receive a join request from a first client device. The AP can generate a Group Master Key (GMK) from the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) associated with a Basic Service Set (BSS) that includes the first client device. The AP can then derive a Group Transient Key (GTK) from the GMK. The AP may then send the GTK to the first client device. Thereinafter, the AP can send multicast frames to the first client device encrypted by the GTK. The first client device can decrypt the multicast frames with the GTK. However, a second client device, that does not share the PSK, may receive the multicast frame but cannot decrypt the multicast frames.

Abstract: A system protects personally identifiable information (PII) by implementing an unconventional key management scheme. In this scheme, the system uses a set of keys rather than an individual key for encrypting PII. Different portions of the PII are encrypted using different keys from the set of keys. In this manner, even if a malicious user were to access a key, that key would not give the malicious user the ability to decrypt all of the PII. Additionally, the system generates a new set of keys periodically (e.g., once a month). The system also deletes sets of keys that are too old (e.g., six months old). As a result, even if a malicious user were to access a key, the usefulness of that key would be time limited.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a data capture event affecting personal data of a user stored in at least one storage device of a computing system and mapped in a privacy graph database. Personal data of the user may be identified in the data capture event and classified into the data categories. In response to the data capture event, a mapping of user-centric nodes associated with the at least one user associated with other users in the privacy graph database is automatically updated using the classified personal data in the data capture event. A request by a requester for personal data of at least one specific user stored in the at least one storage device is received. The privacy graph database is queried to provide the requested personal data and locations of the requested personal data of the at least one specific user in the request stored in the computing system.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for organizations to run a test against an active directory list to see if any user-provided passwords have been part of an existing data breach. Utilizing information from such a test identifies users that have weak passwords, reused passwords or shared passwords that have been associated with an earlier breach. With this information, the organization can seek to reduce risk by training staff for this specific issue in a timely and appropriate manner to significantly reduce the risk of a future breach by those identified users. Training can be customized and targeted at those users who attempt to use passwords that have been associated with a breach (either of their own account or of another account on the same or related domain.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a set of feature vectors can be derived from any biometric data, and then using a deep neural network (“DNN”) on those one-way homomorphic encryptions (i.e., each biometrics' feature vector) can determine matches or execute searches on encrypted data. Each biometrics' feature vector can then be stored and/or used in conjunction with respective classifications, for use in subsequent comparisons without fear of compromising the original biometric data. In various embodiments, the original biometric data is discarded responsive to generating the encrypted values. In another embodiment, the homomorphic encryption enables computations and comparisons on cypher text without decryption. This improves security over conventional approaches. Searching biometrics in the clear on any system, represents a significant security vulnerability. In various examples described herein, only the one-way encrypted biometric data is available on a given device.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for detecting and mitigating risk generated when a customer's log-in credentials are compromised. A significant majority of stolen credentials and customer's personally identifiable information data eventually make their way to the dark web. By dynamically monitoring the dark web and combining the analysis with related information about the user and their credentials on the deep web and the surface web, through a machine learning model, a service provider pre-emptively or otherwise can act to mitigate the risk arising from such compromise of said customer log-in credentials.

Abstract: An online identity verification application may be provided. According to an exemplary embodiment, an online identity verification application may utilize photographic, biometric, and documentation identification protocols.

Abstract: A technique provides cohesive and secure access to management services of a distributed storage architecture deployed on compute and storage nodes of a cluster. The management services are organized as a platform that encompasses a plurality of underlying individual services each having an applications programming interface (API) that are together securely accessible via an API gateway. The gateway is configured to support a “browsable” directory of the APIs that enables a client to identify various underlying services available within the cluster. In an embodiment, the underlying services “self-register” at the gateway to provide a single, unified location for the client to access the services. The API gateway includes a reverse-proxy server that is configured to provide a single point of entry for clients interacting with the individual services underlying the management services platform.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for evaluating collected data relating to online activity, and modification of services within a service provider network. In one embodiment, a service provider collects data relating to the online activity of users of third-party services and correlates the data with subscribers of the service provider to generate useful products and analytics (e.g., classifications, behavioral models, etc.) containing information relating to the subscribers' online activity. The generated products may be used to determine whether and how to modify services provided to individual subscribers, exported for use by third parties, or for other purposes.

Abstract: Domain names are determined for each computational event in a set, each event detailing requests or posts of webpages. A number of events or accesses associated with each domain name within a time period is determined. A registrar is further queried to determine when the domain name was registered. An object is generated that includes a representation of the access count and an age since registration for each domain names. A client can interact with the object to explore representations of domain names associated with high access counts and recent registrations. Upon determining that a given domain name is suspicious, a rule can be generated to block access to the domain name.

Abstract: A scheme for securely transferring a patient data file to an intended recipient regardless of a transfer mode selected by a sender. Encryption system executing at the sender device is operative to encrypt each plaintext data line of a file, one by one, using a symmetric key and a starting IV that is incremented per each line, resulting in corresponding ciphertext lines added to an encrypted file. A hash is generated based on the encrypted file. An encrypted header containing the symmetric key, starting IV and the hash is generated using a public key of the recipient, which is appended to the encrypted file. The encrypted header and associated encrypted file are transmitted to the recipient in any manner. Upon receipt, the recipient decrypts the encrypted header using a private key to obtain the symmetric key, starting IV and the hash, which are used by the recipient to validate and decrypt the encrypted file on a line-by-line basis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for enabling the automatic detection of executable code from a stream of bytes.

Abstract: Methods and systems of data de-tokenization are described herein to provide solutions to utilizing tokenized data files. A de-tokenization service controller may extract instances of tokenized data by determining a schema associated with a tokenized file, wherein the schema identifies which fields contain tokenized data. A decryption system may decrypt the tokens and send decrypted sensitive values to the de-tokenization service controller. The de-tokenization service controller may then generate a de-tokenized data file comprising a plurality of records corresponding to the plurality of original tokenized records, using the decrypted sensitive values in place of the instances of tokenized data. In some embodiments, the methods may further comprise generating a validated file by adding one or more fields indicating the results of validation based on a set of validation rules.
