Patent number: 11968531Abstract: A method for authenticating a mobile device of a user versus a third-party such that instead of a mobile phone number MSISDN of the mobile device, a Universal Unique User Identifier, U3I, assigned to the mobile device is used, in combination with a secure routing service server constructed to communicate with a third-party server and with an MNO server. The secure routing service server and the MNO server interact to translate the Universal Unique User Identifier, U3I, to the mobile phone number MSISDN so as to enable sending the token to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT MOBILE SECURITY GMBHInventor: Shreyas Sangai

Patent number: 11956229Abstract: In some implementations, an authentication system may receive, from a client device, a credential associated with a user account and a request to access a resource. The authentication system may transmit, to the client device, a request for an image of a customized physical security token associated with the user account. The authentication system may receive, from the client device, a first image. The authentication system may compare the first image with a representation of a second image of the customized physical security token associated with the user account. The authentication system may grant or denying access to the resource based on comparing the first image with the representation of the second image.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventor: Jerry Wagner

Patent number: 11956228Abstract: A system and method for granting access to network resources through access credentials given to an agent process running on each computer or machine where resource requesters reside. The system extends a traditional token-granting authorization system to the agent processes, where each agent has administrative access to machine information. The agent uses that access to acquire detailed information about resource requesters. Requester qualifications defined by the system limit requester access to resources, and are enforced both by the agent and by the central system on the network resource server. Resource requesters ask for a token for resource use from the agent, not the central system. The agent uses its credentials to get a token from the central system and then return the token to qualified requesters.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: DELINEA INC.Inventors: Nathaniel Wayne Yocom, Sek-Hon Albert Leung

Patent number: 11937089Abstract: A method for remotely bonding a companion device to an implanted medical device to achieve long-term encrypted and authenticated communication channel, that is resilient to companion device failure or compromise and hence mitigates the risk or need for unplanned, revision surgery and/or premature device explanation. Through use of a shared cryptographic key between the two systems, the companion device may request an encrypted challenge number from the implant. Completing the challenge via transmitting an encrypted validation number permits the implanted medical device to bond and perform a new long-term key exchange. The shared cryptographic key can be changed as well, in event of compromise or other adverse event, using a described device firmware update procedure.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: CraniUS LLCInventors: Conner Delahanty, Aayush Gandhi, Rahul Gangwani, Maximilian Zinkus, Simone Bliss, Tiger Gao, Owen Friesen, John Cai, Vivian Looi, Isaac Lefkovitz

Patent number: 11916895Abstract: A network-connected device service receives a request to authenticate a network-connected device. The network-connected device service determines, from a digital certificate identified in the request, a set of parameters of the digital certificate. The network-connected device service utilizes the set of parameters to identify, from a set of digital certificate clusters, a digital certificate cluster associated with the set of parameters. Through an audit of the digital certificate clusters, the network-connected device service determines whether the digital certificate cluster is indicative of the digital certificate being anomalous.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Nima Sharifi Mehr

Patent number: 11895239Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying an identity of a user. A method includes generating a tokenized biometric sample by tokenizing a biometric sample associated with the user by a computing system. The method further includes generating a digitally-signed tokenized biometric sample by digitally signing the tokenized biometric sample with a private key associated with the user by the computing system. The method further includes, responsive to a biometric reference template matching a signing party biometric sample associated with a signing party and a record, determining that the user matches the signing party by the computing system. The biometric reference template is based on biometric data extracted from the biometric sample. Authenticity and data integrity of the record is determined based on each of the record, the tokenized biometric sample, and a public key of a public/private key pair comprising the private key.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Phillip H.

Patent number: 11880229Abstract: A processing device initializes a memory device in an unauthenticated state in which the memory device is unable to execute one or more restricted commands. The processing device accesses a security capsule that is digitally signed using a private key. The processing device transitions the memory device to an authenticated state based on verifying that the security capsule is validly signed. The processing device uses a public key corresponding to the private key to verify the security capsule is validly signed. While in the authenticated state, the memory device is able to execute the one or more restricted commands.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Robert W.

Patent number: 11870801Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for mitigating network-based attacks, brute-force attacks, enumeration account takeover type attacks, and generally attacks that might result in unauthorized access to user accounts, denial-of-service, loss of functionality to users, etc. Authenticating a user at an end-point of a network may occur using an activator. In some instances, an authentication module (e.g. on a server) receives and validates a key activator. If the key activator is valid, the authentication module is activated. After the authentication module is activated, the authentication module may receive and authenticate a security credential, such as a password, that is associated with the user. If the authentication module receives the security credential without being activated, the authentication module may not authenticate the security credential, even if the security credential is a valid credential.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventor: George Chen Kaidi

Patent number: 11838288Abstract: In the provided platform framework, participants issue requests for registration as members of namespaces supported by the platform framework, where the namespace is a capability of an IHS (Information Handling System) that will be provided by the participant using hardware of the IHS. The platform framework generates an entry in a manifest in response to a participant's registration, wherein the manifest entry identifies a participant as registered within a particular namespace. The platform framework receives, from an operating system application of the IHS, a request for participants registered within one or more namespaces. The platform framework provides the requesting operating system application with an identity of one or more participants that are registered within the first namespace. The requesting operating system application may then choose from registered participants that provide access to platform framework resources that are available for use within a particular namespace.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Daniel L. Hamlin, Vivek Viswanathan Iyer
