  • Patent number: 9531542
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure pertain to system and method of securing mobile devices using virtual certificates at a computer processor. A method may include receiving a request for access to a computer network associated with a computing device to an application associated with a network connected server processor; electronically receiving, at the server processor, a first security key fragment from the computing device; the first security key fragment being paired with a verifier key fragment unknown to the computing device; generating a conditional seed key fragment at the server processor associated with the verifier key fragment; comparing a first hash parameter to a second hash parameter at the server processor; transmitting, at the server processor, a session security key for enabling network access to the application associated with the server processor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 27, 2016
    Assignee: Bank of America Corporation
    Inventors: Abdulkader Barbir, Eileen D. Bridges, Davindar Gill, Lawrence R. LaBella, Craig Worstell
  • Patent number: 9531692
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems for securing mobile computing applications with distributed keys. In one aspect, a computer implemented method or computer readable media include steps electronically receiving, at a computer processor of a computing device, a first security key fragment based on a user input to the computing device; electronically receiving, at the computer processor, a second security key fragment from a network connected storage entity; and electronically concatenating, at the computer processor, the first security key fragment and the second security key fragment to generate a third security key.
