  • Patent number: 11496446
    Abstract: Protecting PII submitted through a browser. In some embodiments, a method may include detecting multiple PII of a user submitted to multiple organization websites through a browser. The method may also include encrypting each of the PII. The method may further include storing each of the encrypted PII along with an identifier of the organization website to which the PII was submitted. The method may also include receiving a request to view the PII along with an indicator of the organization website to which the PII was submitted. The method may further include retrieving each of the encrypted PII along with the identifier of the organization website to which the PII was submitted. The method may also include decrypting each of the encrypted PII. The method may further include displaying each of the PII along with the indicator of the organization website to which the PII was submitted.

  • Patent number: 11223636
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for password breach monitoring and notification may include (i) detecting a set of authentication credentials for a user, (ii) generating a one-way hash for a password associated with the authentication credentials, (iii) selecting a hash prefix including a subset of data in the hash, (iv) sending the hash prefix to a backend service for matching with a set of hash suffixes associated with known compromised passwords, (v) determining that a breach has occurred based on the password associated with the authentication credentials being compromised when the hash prefix matches a hash suffix in the set of hash suffixes, and (vi) performing a security action that protects against an additional breach associated with the compromised password. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10469469
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a device-based PIN authentication process used to protect encrypted data stored on a computing system, such as a tablet or mobile device. A client component and a server component each store distinct cryptographic keys needed to access encrypted data on the client. The mobile device stores a vault encryption key used to decrypt encrypted sensitive data stored on the mobile device. The vault key is encrypted using a first encryption key and stored on the mobile device. The first encryption key is itself encrypted using a second encryption key. The second encryption key is derived from the PIN value.
