  • Patent number: 10832317
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and program products for providing secure authentication for electronic messages are disclosed. A method may comprise generating an asymmetric private key based at least in part upon an invariant biometric feature vector derived from an input biometric reading. The private key may be further based at least in part upon a user password. The resulting private key may not be stored but rather may be generated when required to authenticate an electronic message, at which time it may be used to provide a digital signature for the electronic message. The private key may be deleted after use. The private key may be regenerated by inputting both a new instance of the biometric reading as well as a new instance of the password.

  • Patent number: 9965750
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and program products for performing cash sweep transactions with customer control are disclosed. A deposit sweep computer system may determine first allocations of funds for a plurality of customers. The system may determine for a first subset of the customers that their funds are allocated to respective different depository institutions than previously used for the respective customer. The system may generate and transmit to client devices associated with the first subset of customers machine-readable instructions to render respective destination institution management graphical user interfaces providing an indication of the respective different depository institutions along with accept options and reject options. The system may receive one or more selections of accept options or reject options. The system may then determine and execute second allocations based at least in part upon the first allocations and the one or more selections of the reject options.
