Patent number: 11973617Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable distributed prefix signing by including a signature in a transitive Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attribute of a new prefix announcement, and sending the new prefix announcement to peer components. The peer components may query an address and routing parameter area (ARPA) record to obtain nameserver information for an entity associated with the received prefix announcement in response to determining that the received prefix announcement includes a transitive BGP attribute that includes the signature, retrieve a public key from a Domain Name System (DNS) text record, and determine whether the signature included in the transitive BGP attribute of the received prefix announcement is valid based on the public key retrieved from the DNS text record.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Jody Lee Beck, Willard Andrew Gray

Patent number: 11369831Abstract: A belt for use in performing hip raising exercises is provided. The hip thrust belt of the present invention comprises a flexible supporting pad coupled to a flexible belt. Hook-and-loop fasteners are provided on the belt to secure the ends of the belt to dumbbells or other weights including barbell weight plates and kettlebells. The hip thrust belt allows the weights to hang on the outer sides of the user's hip and thereby increases the effort required to perform hip raising exercises. Hip raising exercises are believed to strengthen the gluteal and hamstring muscles.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: BELIEVE PURSUE LLCInventors: Brett Andrew Beck, Hanna-Greta Kirber Beck, Eric Peterson, Wang Pai Sheng

Patent number: 11336437Abstract: A method for determining a terminal ID from a message received from a terminal in a communication system avoids sending the terminal ID in the clear. In this system each terminal ID has an associated encryption key. A transmitted message comprises at least a Message Authentication Code (MAC), a n-bit hash, and encrypted message text. At least the terminal key and a nonce is used to generate the MAC, and neither the terminal ID or the terminal key are included in the transmitted message. An authentication broker stores the set of all (terminal ID, terminal key) pairs for the plurality of terminals in the communication system. The set of all terminal keys is grouped into at least two partitions, and on receipt of a message the authentication broker identifies the partition that includes the terminal key of the terminal that transmitted the received message using the n-bit hash (the search partition).Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: MYRIOTA PTY LTDInventors: Andrew Beck, Robert George McKilliam

Patent number: 11023886Abstract: The UNIVERSAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UEP”) transform touchscreen inputs into a virtual wallet mobile application interface via UEP components into purchase transaction triggers and receipt notices. In one implementation the UEP provides, via a user device, a product information search request; and obtains, in response to the product information search request, information on a first product for sale by a first merchant and a second product for sale by a second merchant. The UEP generates a single purchase transaction request, using the information on the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant. The UEP provides, via the user device, the single purchase transaction request for payment processing. Also, the UEP obtains an electronic purchase receipt for the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Edward Katzin, Julian Hua, Gregory Kenneth Storey, Michael Mori, Abhinav Shrivastava, Amit Bhargava, Andrew Beck, Ayman Hammad, Ben Pfisterer, Diane Salmon, Igor Karpenko, Jennifer Schulz, Miroslav Gavrilov, Peter Ciurea, Patrick Faith, Phillip Kumnick, Saurav Chatterjee, Sebastian Badea, Shaw Li, Shipra Jha, Stacy Pourfallah, Susan French, Tenni Theurer, Theodore Harris, Thomas Purves, Vanita Pandey, Victoria Graham, Prakash Hariramani
