Patent number: 12189738Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable face authentication embedding migration and drift-compensation. The techniques and systems include a user device that is updated to include both a current version of firmware and an updated version of the firmware. Then, an indication of a face-authentication attempt is received along with image data associated with a user's face. After successful authentication, using the current version of firmware on the image data, the user device uses the updated version of the firmware on the same image data to generate a new embedding. The new embedding is stored as part of a migration profile for the user. Additional new embeddings are collected over a series of subsequent face-authentication attempts until a complete set of new embeddings is stored for the migration profile. Then, the old profile is deleted and the migration profile becomes the enrollment profile used for face authentication.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Moreno, Michael Williams, Ji Soo Shin, Madhi Hamzeh

Patent number: 12155761Abstract: A method and a system for accelerating verification procedure for an image file are provided. In the method, the system retrieves an image file from a first non-volatile memory, and calculates a hash value with respect to the image file. A combination of the hash value, a public key and a digital signature is compared with another hash value, public key and digital signature backup in a second non-volatile memory. A comparison result is generated for verifying the image file in the first non-volatile memory. After the image file is verified, the system can load the image file. Instead of the conventional technology that uses digital signature to verify the image file, the present method can effectively accelerate the verification procedure.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.Inventors: Shiue-Ru Wu, Ching-Tung Wu

Patent number: 12111952Abstract: Method, system, and programs provide automatic anonymization of protected data items when a request is associated with authentication via a ticket. Ticket authentication includes sending a ticket to a recipient address. The ticket is included in a request for information. Responsive to receiving a request with a ticket, an example system may determine if the ticket is still valid and, if so, generate mock identifiers for any identifiers in information provided back to the requestor, replace the identifiers with their corresponding mock identifiers, as well as delete any protected information from the information provided back to the requestor. The system may store a mapping of the identifiers with their mock identifiers by session id. These mappings may be deleted after a predetermined time, so that the mapping is valid only for a particular session for a limited time.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: DrFirst.com, Inc.Inventor: Christian Nichols

Patent number: 12058176Abstract: A connection-based service impersonates request-based security for requests from clients that do not include credentials for the requests (e.g., data plane requests made via a connection-oriented security). A connection between a client and a connection-based service is established based on connection credentials that are based on security credentials from a request-based security service. The credentials are sent by a security component of the service to a local agent of the remote security service to be authenticated by the security service. An impersonation token is returned by the security service and cached by the local agent. Requests from the client to perform operations do not include credentials. For each request, the service passes an identifier for the client and the operation to a local authorization component that calls the agent for authorization of the requested operation. The agent uses the impersonation token to obtain authorization for the requested operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gokul Ramanan Subramanian, Sayantan Chakravorty, Dennis Tighe, Carlos Alessandro Chiconato, Damian Wylie
