  • Patent number: 11711203
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer using verification data from a verification source, while reducing exposure of the verification data, are herein disclosed. In one example, a method for a verification source comprises, generating a seed hash from a pre-determined data specification, aggregating verification data based on one or more data fields indicated by the data specification to produce aggregated verification data, hashing the aggregated verification data using the seed hash to produce hashed verification data, receiving hashed customer data from a verification platform, receiving a comparison request from the verification platform, comparing the hashed customer data with the hashed verification data; and returning a result to the verification platform indicating if the hashed customer data matches the verification data.

  • Patent number: 11334905
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer while reducing data exposure, are herein disclosed. In one example, a method for automatically determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer using a hashed dataset comprises, receiving an eligibility claim from a requester, receiving credentials from a consumer, selecting a verification source based on the eligibility claim and the credentials, determining an eligibility status of the eligibility claim by comparing the credentials against a hashed dataset of the verification source, and transmitting the eligibility status to the requester. In this way, a verification platform may determine consumer eligibility to a gated offer using hashed data, without holding the underlying personal data of the consumer, thereby reducing data exposure of the consumer.

  • Patent number: 8438622
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a request from a first party for access to controlled data, and providing access to the controlled data to a second party. The first party requests access to the controlled data and a token is provided to the first party. The token includes data associated with authorized access to the controlled data. A request for access to the controlled data including the token is later received from the second party, and access to the controlled data is provided to the second party.

  • Publication number: 20100100950
    Abstract: A method includes sending a command set to a client module via a network, receiving via the network a context identifier and a data set associated with the command set, verifying the command set, and authenticating the client module. The command set is verified based on the data set. The client module is authenticated based on the context identifier. A service is made accessible to the client module after the authenticating, The service is inaccessible to the client module before the authenticating.
