  • Patent number: 11973877
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable media are provided in various embodiments having regard to authentication using secure tokens, in accordance with various embodiments. An individual's personal information is encapsulated into transformed digitally signed tokens, which can then be stored in a secure data storage (e.g., a “personal information bank”). The digitally signed tokens can include blended characteristics of the individual (e.g., 2D/3D facial representation, speech patterns) that are combined with digital signatures obtained from cryptographic keys (e.g., private keys) associated with corroborating trusted entities (e.g., a government, a bank) or organizations of which the individual purports to be a member of (e.g., a dog-walking service).

  • Patent number: 11934540
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and corresponding non-transitory computer readable media describe a proposed system adapted as a platform governing the loading of data in a multiparty secure computing environment. In the multiparty secure computing environment described herein, multiple parties are able to load their secure information into a data warehouse having specific secure processing adaptations that limit both access and interactions with data stored thereon.

  • Patent number: 11893099
    Abstract: A technical validation mechanism is described that includes the use of facial feature recognition and tokenization technology operating in combination with machine learning models can be used such that specific facial or auditory characteristics of how an originating script is effectuated can be used to train the machine learning models, which can then be used to validate a video or a particular dynamically generated passphrase by comparing overlapping phonemes or phoneme transitions between the originating script and the dynamically generated passphrase.

  • Patent number: 11429712
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable media are provided in various embodiments relating to generating a dynamic challenge passphrase data object. The method includes establishing, a plurality of data record clusters, representing a mutually exclusive set of structured data records of an individual, ranking the plurality of feature data fields based on a determined contribution value of each feature data field relative to the establishing of the data record cluster, and identifying, using the ranked plurality of feature data fields, a first and a second feature data field of the plurality of feature data fields. The method includes generating the dynamic challenge passphrase data object, wherein the first or the second feature data field is used to establish a statement string portion, and a remaining one of the first or the second feature data field is used to establish a question string portion and a correct response string.

  • Publication number: 20220029987
    Abstract: An approach for increasing security of biometric templates is described. An improved system is adapted to split a full set of features or representations of a trained model into a first partial template and a second partial template, the second partial template being stored on a secure enclave accessible only through zero-knowledge proof based interfaces. During verification using the template, a new full set of features is received for comparison, and a model is loaded based on the available portions of the model. Comparison utilizing the second partial template requires the computation of zero-knowledge proofs as direct access to the underlying second partial template is prohibited by the secure enclave.
