  • Patent number: 11907347
    Abstract: A system is provided for secure verification of authentication data using quantum computing and a distributed server network. In particular, the system may store a reference set of authentication data associated with a user within a distributed server database in an encrypted form. Subsequently, when the system receives live set of authentication data associated with the user, the system may, using a quantum authenticator, compare the encrypted live set of authentication data with the encrypted reference set of authentication data for authorization purposes. The system may further comprise a quantum machine learning authorization engine which may track historical data and/or settings associated with the user to model and predict behavior patterns of the user. In this way, the system provides a secure and efficient way to perform authentication and/or authorization of the user.

  • Patent number: 11909732
    Abstract: A server computer hosting an extended reality world receives a first transmission over a communication network from a computing device associated with a user, the first transmission including a request for the user to access the extended reality world. The server computer transmits a presentation of the extended reality world to the communication device over the communications network based at least in part on the request, and displays the presentation of the extended reality world on the computing device, where the presentation includes at least an avatar associated with the user. The server computer receives a command for the avatar to store a phrase selected by the user in a location associated with a virtual object within the extended reality world. The server computer displays, within the presentation of the extended reality world on the computing device, the avatar storing the phrase at the location in the extended reality world.

  • Patent number: 11907346
    Abstract: Systems and methods may generally be used to authenticate a user. An example method may include capturing an image of a portion of a face of a user, retrieving, based on identification information, a registered model of the face from a database, and comparing the portion of the face in the captured image to a facial feature of the registered model. In response to determining that the portion of the captured image matches the facial feature of the registered model, the method may include granting access to secure content.

  • Patent number: 11899821
    Abstract: The system obtains information to send to the first user device and converts the information into a sequence of images, where one or more images in the sequence of images include the information, and a remainder of images in the sequence include a visual unrelated to the information. The number of the one or more images and the number of the remainder of images indicate a display frequency. The number of the remainder of images is greater than the number of the one or more images. The display frequency causes an observer to form a perception of the one or more images. The system sends the sequence to the first user device and causes the first user device to present on the display screen the sequence at the display frequency, which causes a garbling of a recording of the display screen associated with the first user device.

  • Patent number: 11899825
    Abstract: A portable terminal device sets a security level for each application in accordance with position, and stores the level in a memory. The security level determines whether each application is displayed or made executable on a display portion in locked state and unlocked state. A controller refers to the security level and determines the application displayed on the display portion in accordance with position information acquired by a position information acquisition unit (GPS reception unit), and makes executable the application selected by the user. Thus, the portable terminal device offers user-friendliness while ensuring security strength.

  • Patent number: 11902307
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing the identity fraud risk of an entity's (a user's, computer process's, or device's) behavior within a computer network and then to take appropriate action. The system uses real-time machine learning for its assessment. It records the entity's log-in behavior (conditions at log-in) and behavior once logged in to create an entity profile that helps identify behavior patterns. The system compares new entity behavior with the entity profile to determine a risk score and a confidence level for the behavior. If the risk score and confidence level indicate a credible identity fraud risk at log-in, the system can require more factors of authentication before log-in succeeds. If the system detects risky behavior after log-in, it can take remedial action such as ending the entity's session, curtailing the entity's privileges, or notifying a human administrator.

  • Patent number: 11900306
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for tracking physical transfers of tokenized physical assets. A transferor request to transfer a digital token from a first address associated with the first computing device to a second address associated with a second computing device may be received by a first computing device, where the digital token corresponds to a unique identifier associated with a physical asset. The first computing device communicates the received transferor request including at least a first location parameter, determined by the first computing device based on signals received at a physical location thereof, to at least one node of a distributed ledger network. The first computing device receives a confirmation that the transfer of the digital token is approved based on a determination that a transferee request from the second computing device includes at least a second location parameter corresponding to the physical location of the first computing device.

  • Patent number: 11889312
    Abstract: For validation of position, navigation, time (PNT) signals, a hash included in messages with PNT data is used to validate the source of the message without backhaul. Different tags from a hash chain are included in different messages. The receiver is pre-loaded with the root or later trusted hash tag of the chain as created. The hash of any received message may be hashed by the receiver. The result of the hashing will match the pre-loaded or trusted hash tag if the transmitter of the message is a valid source. The PNT data may be validated using a digital signature formed from the PNT data for one or more messages and the hash tag wherein a hash tag of the chain in a subsequently received message is used as the key. The digital signature may be formed from data across multiple messages.
