  • Patent number: 10965695
    Abstract: Systems and methods for matching and scoring sameness. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is provided, comprising acts of: identifying a plurality of first-degree anchor values from the first digital interaction, wherein the plurality of first-degree anchor values comprise first-degree anchor values X and Y; accessing a profile of the first-degree anchor value X, wherein: the profile of the first-degree anchor value X comprises a plurality of sets of second-degree anchor values; and each set of the plurality of sets of second-degree anchor values corresponds to a respective anchor type and comprises one or more second-degree anchor values of that anchor type; determining how closely the first-degree anchor values X and Y are associated; and generating an association score indicative of how closely the plurality of first-degree anchors are associated, based at least in part on how closely the first-degree anchor values X and Y are associated.

  • Patent number: 10749884
    Abstract: Techniques for ascertaining legitimacy of communications received during a digital interaction with a client device. The techniques include: receiving a communication; identifying from the communication a first secured token; processing the first secured token by: obtaining, from the first secured token, information indicating a state of the digital interaction; and using the information indicating the state to determine whether the communication is from the client device; and when it is determined that the communication is from the client device, causing at least one action responsive to the communication to be performed; updating the information indicating the state of the digital interaction to obtain updated information indicating the state of the digital interaction; and providing a second secured token to the client device for use in a subsequent communication during the digital interaction, the second secured token comprising the updated information indicating the state of the digital interaction.

  • Patent number: 10333987
    Abstract: Systems and methods the improve operation and security of large complex webs of 200,000 to 2,000,000 interconnected systems are provided. Systems and methods may dynamically schedule downtime for target systems within the complex. The schedule downtime may not impact operations stability of the complex web. Based on computational resource constraints, systems and methods may provide dynamic rescheduling of system downtime. Systems and methods may provide dynamic computational capacity management by adding capacity and/or reorganizing systems within the complex web.
