  • Patent number: 11874727
    Abstract: Service providers, such as website operators, may rely on interfacing with third-party systems over the Internet to provide services to their users. Outages and degraded responsiveness of these third-party systems can affect the efficiency of the operations of the service provider. The described embodiments allow a service provider to monitor the responsiveness of one or more third-party systems, including making predictions on the future reliability of those third-party systems. The described embodiments include various monitors, that use outgoing and incoming web traffic data from the service provider, to produce responsiveness parameters of third-party systems, based on which the service provider can dynamically route its outgoing traffic to the more reliable third-party systems.

  • Patent number: 11722314
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for digital transaction signing for multiple client devices using secured encrypted private keys. The system generates, by a device, a private key and public key pair. The key pair is associated with an electronic account. The device also has an associated private key and public key pair. The device generates multiple key shares of the generated private key associated with the electronic account. The device encrypts each of the multiple key shares with the public key of the device thereby creating multiple first or inner layer of encrypted key shares. The device then encrypts each of the multiple first encrypted key shares each with a separate user public key associated with a user thereby creating multiple second or outer layer of encrypted key shares. The double encrypted key shares are then distributed to the respective users having the user public key.

  • Patent number: 11394561
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for signing digital transactions from multiple client devices using secured encrypted private keys associated with electronic accounts. One of the operations is performed by storing multiple encrypted private keys in a memory cache accessible by a primary device. Each of the stored encrypted private keys are associated with an electronic account. An electronic transaction which is associated with an electronic account is received from a secondary device. A particular encrypted private key from the stored multiple encrypted private keys is identified. The identified encrypted private key is transmitted to a decrypting service where the encrypted private key is decrypted. The electronic transaction is then digitally signed based on the unencrypted private key. Then the digitally signed electronic transaction is transmitted to the requesting secondary device.

  • Patent number: 11308468
    Abstract: Described is cryptographically managed telecommunications settlement occurring in real time with generation and termination of a telecommunications channel. Upon the generation of a communications channel, a contract fund is established between two or more telecommunications services and recorded on a cryptographic ledger. Over the course of regular intervals of channel service, cryptocurrency is released from the contract fund. Upon termination of the communications channel, the released amount of the contract fund is transferred to the receiving provider telecommunications, the remainder back to the requesting telecommunications service. Transactions between cryptocurrency wallets are all published to the cryptographic ledger.
