  • Patent number: 11588649
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for authenticating API messages using PKI-based authentication techniques. A client system can generate a private/public key pair associated with the client system and sign an API message using the private key of the private/public key pair and a PKI-based cryptographic algorithm, before sending the signed API message to a server system. The server system (e.g., operated by a service provider) can authenticate the incoming signed API message using a proxy authenticator located in less trusted zone (e.g., a perimeter network) of the server system. In particular, the proxy authenticator can be configured to verify the signature of the signed API message using the public key corresponding to the private key and the same cryptographic algorithm. The authenticated API message can then be forwarded to a more trusted zone (e.g., an internal network) of the server system for further processing.

  • Patent number: 11271931
    Abstract: Techniques for securely generating and using a “fingerprint” for authentication. A server computer receives a first data set from a user device (including a first fuzzy hash of first user data on the user device). The server computer generates a first fingerprint value based on the first data set. The server computer detects an event corresponding to a user in association with the user device. The server computer identifies a baseline fingerprint value (generated based on a baseline fuzzy hash of user data on the user device). The server computer compares the first fingerprint value to the baseline fingerprint value to generate a similarity score. The server computer may determine that the similarity score exceeds a threshold value but does not represent an exact match, and, based on the similarity score, authenticate the user and update the baseline fingerprint value based on the first fingerprint value.
