  • Patent number: 10437991
    Abstract: A system for capturing communication variables associated with a communication between two or more parties and implementing a quantum optimizer to analyze the communication variables to determine the actual context of a communication held by one or more parties to the communication. Once the actual context is determined, a further determination is made as to whether the actual context poses or potentially poses a security threat to one or more parties to the communication or a third-party and, if so, notifies the party of the security threat. In this regard, parties to a communication that are unaware of the actual context of the communication held by another party are made aware of that actual context poses a security threat and, in some embodiments, notifies the parties while the communication is still occurring.

  • Patent number: 10412082
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for providing real-time multi-faceted authentication of a user before or during the user's interaction with a channel. The system uses authentication devices to acquire large amounts of authentication level information data, then makes a determination that at least a portion of the acquired authentication level information data cannot be efficiently processed by a conventional computer apparatus due to the complexity of a required analysis process and/or the quantity of data that must be processed. The system then formats and transmits this authentication data to a special quantum optimizer that is configured to perform the complex analysis and/or process extremely large volumes of data substantially in real-time. The quantum optimizer performs the analysis and returns a confirmed identity of the user that is then used by the conventional computer apparatus to authenticate the user for the interaction with the channel.

  • Patent number: 10334462
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems for predictive analysis of data received from inter-related communication devices within a distributed communication network (e.g., Internet-of-Things (IoT)), which have been determined to be associated with an entity. The predictive analysis resulting in a determination of future resource needs. Based on the predicted future resource needs, the present invention determines a resource acquisition scheme which serves to accommodate the predicted future resource needs.

  • Patent number: 10270594
    Abstract: A system for generating an enhanced polymorphic quantum enabled firewall in real-time typically includes a classical computer apparatus and a quantum optimizer in communication with the classical computer apparatus. The classical computer apparatus is configured to identify an unauthorized attempt to access information by an unidentified source, collect a first set of data about the unauthorized attempt, determine a type of the unauthorized attempt by analyzing the first set of data, and transmit the first set of data and the type of the unauthorized attempt to the quantum optimizer. The quantum optimizer upon receiving the first set of data and the type of the unauthorized attempt, generates a second key and a second level of encryption using the second key, generates a new protocol for transferring the second level of encryption over a network, and transfers the second level of encryption and the new protocol to the classical computer apparatus.
