Patent number: 11722314Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for digital transaction signing for multiple client devices using secured encrypted private keys. The system generates, by a device, a private key and public key pair. The key pair is associated with an electronic account. The device also has an associated private key and public key pair. The device generates multiple key shares of the generated private key associated with the electronic account. The device encrypts each of the multiple key shares with the public key of the device thereby creating multiple first or inner layer of encrypted key shares. The device then encrypts each of the multiple first encrypted key shares each with a separate user public key associated with a user thereby creating multiple second or outer layer of encrypted key shares. The double encrypted key shares are then distributed to the respective users having the user public key.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: OX Labs Inc.Inventors: Wissam Jarjoui, George Melika, Akbar Thobhani

Patent number: 11394561Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for signing digital transactions from multiple client devices using secured encrypted private keys associated with electronic accounts. One of the operations is performed by storing multiple encrypted private keys in a memory cache accessible by a primary device. Each of the stored encrypted private keys are associated with an electronic account. An electronic transaction which is associated with an electronic account is received from a secondary device. A particular encrypted private key from the stored multiple encrypted private keys is identified. The identified encrypted private key is transmitted to a decrypting service where the encrypted private key is decrypted. The electronic transaction is then digitally signed based on the unencrypted private key. Then the digitally signed electronic transaction is transmitted to the requesting secondary device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Inventors: Wissam Jarjoui, George Melika, Akbar Thobhani

Patent number: 11308468Abstract: Described is cryptographically managed telecommunications settlement occurring in real time with generation and termination of a telecommunications channel. Upon the generation of a communications channel, a contract fund is established between two or more telecommunications services and recorded on a cryptographic ledger. Over the course of regular intervals of channel service, cryptocurrency is released from the contract fund. Upon termination of the communications channel, the released amount of the contract fund is transferred to the receiving provider telecommunications, the remainder back to the requesting telecommunications service. Transactions between cryptocurrency wallets are all published to the cryptographic ledger.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: OX Labs Inc.Inventors: George Melika, Akbar Thobhani

Patent number: 10621580Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods which identify fraudulent situations during the transaction phase. In one embodiment, such detection is accomplished by monitoring for situations either outside the range of normal for the general population or outside the range of normal for this particular user. The normal range could be rule driven and, for example, could include size of a given purchase, frequency of purchases, identity the equipment being utilized for the current transaction, etc. The rule could be relaxed or tightened, at least in part, based on the length of time that the user has been a customer and the user's past payment history. In one embodiment, device ids are used to detect fraudulent users. These device (or software) ids could, for example, be a “fingerprint” of the user's equipment, or a “cookie” previously downloaded to the user that identifies the user to the fulfillment system. In situations where fraud is detected downloading the value to the user is interrupted.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2009Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Stamps.com Inc.Inventors: Akbar A.
