Patent number: 12143504Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for systems and methods of authenticating one or more aspects of electronic communication. According to the present disclosure, authenticable communications may allow for authentication of at least a portion of the content of the electronic communication, which may limit potential damage caused by fraudulent communications. In some aspects, an authenticable communication may allow a recipient to confirm that the indicated source is the actual source of the authenticable communication. In some embodiments, the authentication may not require an exchange of encrypted communications or an exchange of communications solely within the same communication system. Authenticable communications may provide a separate layer of security that may allow a recipient to review the contents with confidence that the communication is not fraudulent. Further, authenticable communications may provide the additional security without requiring specialized software.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2023Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Finke, Christopher Freedman
