Patent number: 10162976Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting potential steganography use to hide content in computer files transmitted via electronic communications are provided. An electronic communication associated with a computer file may be identified. The communication and the computer file may be analyzed to determine whether the computer file potentially includes hidden content. To determine whether the computer file potentially includes hidden content, a set of steganographic criteria may be analyzed. If at least a portion of the steganographic criteria are satisfied, then it may be determined that the computer file potentially includes hidden content. If at least a portion of the steganographic criteria are not satisfied, then it may be determined that the computer file does not potentially include hidden content. If the computer file is determined to potentially include hidden content, an individual may be notified of the communication associated with the computer file.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Richard D. Hanner, Sr., Gwendolynne Chaperon-Dewolf, Chris Stott, Joseph Werner

METHOD, SYSTEMAND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FORDETECTING AND PREVENTING FRAUDULENT HEALTH CARE CLAIMS
Publication number: 20090076960Abstract: A method and system for detecting and preventing fraudulent health care claims. A bar code having a service date and provider ID is generated. The provider ID identifies a health care service provider that is requested to provide a service to a client on the service date. A digital image file that includes the bar code, transaction data, and a signature is received. The signature, transaction data, provider ID and service date are extracted from the digital image file. Verification software determines whether the extracted signature matches the client's reference signature stored in a database. Verification software determines whether extracted data that includes service date, provider ID, and client ID is included in any transaction record in the database. A report is generated that identifies a fraudulent claim if the extracted signature does not match any reference signature or if the extracted data is not included in any transaction record.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2008Publication date: March 19, 2009Applicant: MedicalManagement Technology Group, Inc.Inventors: Jay Hamel, Joseph Werner
