Patent number: 11831754Abstract: In some instances, a method for authenticating a user using key pair authentication is provided. The method comprises enrolling the user into key pair authentication by generating a private and public key pair for an authentication domain, accessing the content on the first domain based on enrolling the user into the key pair authentication with a key pair authentication server using the private and public key pair for the authentication domain, requesting access for different content on a second domain, based on enrolling the user into the key pair authentication for the first domain, redirecting a browser from the second domain to the authentication domain, and accessing the different content on the second domain based on performing the key pair authentication with the key pair authentication server using the private and public key pair for the authentication domain.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Aetna Inc.Inventors: Abbie Barbir, Salil Kumar Jain, Cisa Kurian, John Poirier, Amy Ulrich, Erick Verry, Victoria Garstka, Abhishek Tennarangam

Publication number: 20230367862Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for enhancing standard authentication systems to include risk-based decisions. Risk-based decisions can be selectively implemented within existing authentication systems to strategically modify and supplement security if an unacceptable risk is detected. Embodiments capture information pertaining to a user and user device. Information is stored to create a profile for the user and user device. A comparison between the stored information and live data can be performed within authentication systems to optimize security. If the results of the comparison demonstrate the presence of an acceptable risk, then the need for subsequent authentication can be reduced or eliminated, which improves a user experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Salil Kumar Jain, Abbie Barbir, Derek Swift

Patent number: 10938814Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of incorporating multiple authentication systems and protocols. The types of authentication systems and protocols can vary based on desired assurance levels. A Centralized Authentication System together with an authentication policy dictates acceptable authentication systems. Authorization data for each authorization system are captured and packaged into a single Object Data Structure. The authorization data can be compared to data stored in an identity store for authentication. The authorization data can also be used for user and device registration and for transferring an authentication or registration token from a previously authenticated and registered device to a new device.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Aetna Inc.Inventors: Salil Kumar Jain, Abbie Barbir

Patent number: 10938815Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of establishing a user profile using multiple channels. Embodiments allow compatibility of the user profile across several authentication systems. The user profile is created upon registration and is updated with attributes after authenticating and authorizing the user according to a pre-defined assurance level. The user profile contains attributes pertaining to the user and user device. The attributes can be analyzed by authentication systems to optimize data security.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Aetna Inc.Inventors: Salil Kumar Jain, Abbie Barbir, Sylvan Tran, Jayavardhan N.

Patent number: 9094391Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems dynamic trust federation. In one aspect, a computer implemented method may include a security token that enables sign-on into a group applications based on applicable trust criteria. In one aspect, when a user interacts with one application in the group, the trust is elevated through the application internal authentication application program interface (API). The trust may be included in the security token to make available to other applications in the group. Applications can be in multiple groups with variable level of authentication based on location and other transactions variables.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Abbie Barbir, Radu Marian, Cynthia A.
