Patent number: 12099592Abstract: A single sign-on system using blockchain is disclosed. The single sign-on system may interconnect various organization systems over a peer-to-peer network, with each organization system having a blockchain node and an application programming interface (API). The blockchain node invokes and uses a smart contract to write registration credentials to the blockchain during a registration process. During a login process, the blockchain node invokes the smart contract to determine whether login credentials match stored login credentials in the blockchain. In response to matching login credentials, the API may generate a single sign-on token that can be used by a user device to access one or more organization systems connected over the network.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2023Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Balaji Balaraman, Andras L. Ferenczi, Dallas L. Gale, Nilesh Yashavant Jadhav, Harish R. Naik

Publication number: 20240273530Abstract: Systems and methods for transaction authorizations using a distributed database are disclosed. The system may allow registered transaction account holders and merchants to interact and complete transactions according to workflows enforced by smart contracts. The system may include an issuer system that receives a transaction authorization request comprising a merchant ID, a transaction account number, a transaction amount, and a transaction ID. The issuer system may retrieve a merchant public key and a smart contract based on the merchant ID, and a user public key based on the transaction account number. The issuer system may invoke the smart contract by passing the user public key and the transaction ID to the smart contract. The system may propagate transaction data (e.g., the merchant ID, the transaction account number, the payment amount, a transaction status, etc.) to a blockchain network for writing to a blockchain according to the invoked smart contract.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Balaji Balaraman, Andras L.

Patent number: 11755560Abstract: A system may receive a query configured to access a column in a data table. The data table may be in a flat file in a big data storage format. The system may detect the language type of the query and validate the query against the syntax of the language type. The system may also validate an access permission for data in the data table. The access permission may be stored in a permissions database. The system may generate a temporary table including the column with the temporary table configured to support the language type. The system may execute the query against the temporary table to generate a query result based on the temporary table as though it were the underlying data table. The system may enforce column-level or row-level access permissions by excluding columns or rows from the temporary table.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Shubham Arora, Balaji Balaraman, Sandeep Bose, Arindam Chatterjee, Sastry Durvasula, Manoj Kumar Rana, Nitish Sharma

Publication number: 20190303942Abstract: Systems and methods for fraud management using a distributed database are disclosed. The system may receive a payment request and generate a payment request hash by cryptographically processing the payment request using a hashing algorithm. The system may invoke a fraud reporting smart contract by passing the payment request hash and a public blockchain address to the fraud reporting smart contract. The system may query a local blockchain database to locate a fraud report matching the payment request hash to determine whether the payment request has been previously reported as fraud. In response to the payment request hash not matching the fraud report, the fraud reporting smart contract is configured to write the payment request hash to the blockchain as a second fraud report.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2018Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicant: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Balaji Balaraman, Rana Dasgupta, Andras L.

Patent number: 10360198Abstract: A system may read an input file having an input file size and including a first record and a second record. The first and second record may each have a record length. The system may parse the input file into a first split file and a second split file, with the first split file including the first record and the second split file including the second record. The system may distribute the first split file to a first node to generate a first output file and the second split file to a second node to generate a second output file. Any number of additional split files may be distributed to generate any number output files. The system may combine the output files to generate a converted data file.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Nitish Sharma, Shubham Arora, Balaji Balaraman, Sandeep Bose, Arindam Chatterjee, Sastry Durvasula, Priya Narayana, Manoj Kumar Rana
