  • Patent number: 11055397
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the secure storage of security questions through an immutable log, such as a blockchain. The security questions may be stored in a centralized location, accessible from an application or browser tab running on the user's device. When a security question is required, such as to perform a password reset on a website, the website may interact with the application or browser tab, which retrieves the question(s) from the blockchain. The user may enter their answers to the question(s), which may be hashed by the application or tab. The hashed answers may be entered into the original requesting website, which may verify with the blockchain that the correct answers have been provided. Thus, the requesting website sees neither the questions nor the answers. Additional security features may include logging requests for questions, so that a user can determine if a security question may have been compromised.

  • Publication number: 20210193136
    Abstract: A virtual environment platform may receive, from a user device, a request to access a virtual reality (VR) environment and may verify, based on the request, a user of the user device to allow the user device access to the VR environment. The virtual environment platform may receive, after verifying the user of the user device, user voice input and user handwritten input from the user device. The virtual environment platform may generate processed user speech by processing the user voice input, wherein a characteristic of the processed user speech and a corresponding characteristic of the user voice input are different and may generate formatted user text by processing the user handwritten input, wherein the formatted user text is machine-encoded text. The virtual environment platform may cause the processed user speech to be audibly presented and the formatted user text to be visually presented in the VR environment.

  • Publication number: 20210192054
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may use word embeddings to enhance scanning of programming code scripts for sensitive subject matter, such as confidential subject matter. The scanning may be performed by a neural network in some exemplary embodiments. The neural network initially may be trained on a corpus of programming code scripts to identify keywords relating to sensitive subject matter, such as passwords, tokens or credentials. The neural network may not only identify instances of the keywords but also may identify related terms as well. The output of the scan may be a ranked list of terms in the programming code script that may relate to sensitive subject matter.

  • Patent number: 11030417
    Abstract: A system is configured to perform one or more steps of a method. The system may receive a plurality of attorney communications, identify one or more legal clause interpretations in them, receive a first legal clause and provide it to a trained NN and a probability model. The system may also generate a corresponding first plain English interpretation based on the first legal clause, provide the first plain English interpretation to the probability model, which generates a probability score based on a degree to which the legal clause matches the plain English interpretation in meaning, and determine whether the probability score exceeds a predetermined threshold. Further, the system may instruct the NN to generate a second plain English interpretation based on the first legal clause when the probability score does not exceed the predetermined threshold, and output the first plain English interpretation when the probability score exceeds the predetermined threshold.
