  • Patent number: 11809596
    Abstract: A system for leveraging a tokening system to authenticate a traveler while maintaining anonymity of the traveler is provided. The system may include a secure central server configured to store identification data associated with a plurality of users. The system may also include a mobile token application for providing a token identifier representing a user's identification data. The mobile token application may be activated by the central server on a mobile device of the user registered with the central server and stored in a secure storage on the mobile device of the user. The system may also include a travel service provider. The travel service provider may be configured to enable reserving a travel reservation file. The travel service provider may be enabled to retrieve a token identifier from the user's mobile device as representing the identification of the user and verify the token identifier with the central server.

  • Patent number: 11748470
    Abstract: A method of enhancing travel security features associated with a mobile device is provided. The method may include operating a time clock to store a start device confiscation time in a memory and to store an end device confiscation time in the memory, monitoring the mobile device to detect tampering occurring between the start device confiscation time and the end device confiscation time, and in response to the detecting of tampering, prompting the user for a secure identifier. Upon receipt of the secure identifier, the method may include opening a secure i/o pathway to a re-image file. The secure i/o pathway preferably enables execution of an executable re-image file. The re-image file may be used to re-image a software image of the mobile device. The re-image file may contain a pre-tampered image of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11553311
    Abstract: Systems and methods for accurately and securely assembling, storing, and leveraging travel data are provided. A method may include detecting a travel event of a user. The method may include recording the travel event in a travel map that is stored in a database. The travel map may be a temporal- and spatial-based record of one or more travel events of the user. The travel map may be stored as a blockchain ledger. The method may include tokenizing sensitive information associated with the user in the database, and calculating a hazard vector. The method may include updating, based at least in part on the hazard vector, a status index associated with the user, and providing the user and a system administrator access to the travel map and the status index. Access may be provided via an online portal configured to be viewed via an application running on a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11552972
    Abstract: A method for enhancing travel security features associated with a mobile device is provided. The method may include operating a time clock on the mobile device to determine a start device confiscation time in the memory and to determine an end device confiscation time in the memory. The method may also include monitoring the operation of the mobile device between the start device confiscation time and the end device confiscation time to determine the existence of an anomalous device condition. The monitoring may include using a network traffic monitor device, a bandwidth usage monitor device, a battery performance monitor device, a website presentation monitor device, and/or central processing usage monitor device. The monitoring may record a device activity between the start time and the end time and flag the anomalous device condition that occurred between the start time and the end time.
