  • Patent number: 12756562
    Abstract: A system performs digital notarization using a biometric identification service. A signature requesting service receives a request to validate a digital item with a signature for a person. The signature requesting service provides a payload that identifies the digital item and/or the person to an identity service. The identity service obtains one or more digital representations of biometrics for the person, determines an identity for the person, and returns a data structure including the payload and one or more identity attestations regarding the determined identity. The identity service encrypts at least a portion of the data structure using a private encryption key. A public encryption key for the identity service can then be used to decrypt the portion to verify that the data structure was generated by the identity service after determining the identity. In this way, validation can be verified to the full trust level of the identification service.

  • Patent number: 12749079
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, image-feature malicious-activity detection and access prevention may be facilitated, where an activity notification associated with a transaction triggers feature detection for at least one image related to a different transaction. In some embodiments, a first image (received in connection with a first transaction) may be associated with the first transaction, and a second image (received in connection with a second transaction) may be associated with a second transaction. In response to a malicious activity notification associated with the first transaction, an identifying characteristic (e.g., a facial feature) detected in the first image may be used to determine whether to prevent access to an account related to the second transaction. As an example, in response to determining that the identifying characteristic is present in the second image, access to the account related to the second transaction may be prevented.

  • Patent number: 12717940
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using machine-learning models to determine graduated levels of access to secured data for remote devices. In some embodiments, a computing platform may establish a connection with a mobile device. Subsequently, based on establishing the connection, the platform may identify initial device information, device features, and user information. The platform may input the identified information into an authentication model to compute a baseline authentication score and then may identify an initial level of access to secured resources for the mobile device. Thereafter, the platform may receive from the mobile device, AR/VR device information captured by the mobile device. The platform may input the AR/VR device information into the authentication model to compute an augmented authentication score. Based on the augmented score, the platform may identify an augmented level of access to secured resources for the mobile device.
