  • Patent number: 11651080
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing sentiment analysis of computer code are provided. Developers who write source code may include comments or other natural language artifacts in the source code. These artifacts may be illustrative of current or legacy cybersecurity threats. Systems and methods may mine comments, and/or other code artifacts, for the dual purposes of cybersecurity threat detection and mitigation. Advanced code analytics may be leveraged for a deeper understanding of the sentiments expressed by the artifacts. Such sentiment may include negative sentiments expressed in error code selection and/or descriptions.

  • Patent number: 11615405
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a system that provides enhanced security of information transmitted by connected devices. The system may be used to request resources from members of a donee's virtual group. Donated funds or line of credit may be loaded to the donee's digital wallet with no link to any of the donee's personal accounts. The request for resources may utilize secure correspondence between the donee and the prospective donors. The secure correspondence may be locked and prevented from being forwarded or captured via a screenshot to ensure confidentiality. If an attempt is made to forward or copy the secure correspondence, the secure correspondence may be deleted. Donated funds/line of credit may be allocated for specific use, and may not be owned by the donee until used.

  • Patent number: 11575510
    Abstract: A system for quantum key synchronization within a server-cluster is provided. The system may include a plurality of silicon-based servers encapsulated in quantum cases. Each quantum case may include a quantum tunneling transmitter module, a quantum random number generator and a quantum entanglement module. The quantum cases may communicate with each other via the quantum tunneling transmitter module or any other suitable manner. The quantum cases may only communicate with cases with which they are entangled. Therefore, in the event of a compromise on one of the servers, the quantum entanglement module, included in the case that encapsulates the compromised server, may become disentangled, and therefore not be able to communicate with the other servers included in the cluster using an internal communications protocol.

  • Patent number: 11568507
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing protection from economic exploitation. The apparatus and methods may include a platform for tagging a social security number and/or other suitable identification number. The system may allow a person associated with a social security number to automatically flag and deny any product or service request associated with the social security number. The alarms are “silent,” because the alarm may initiate an institution internal process in which the customer interaction with the institution follows a normal diligence process until an intervention can be effectively executed on behalf of the customer. This reduces the likelihood of a reaction from the customer's associate prior to completing the diligence process. A system may provide the customer with an opportunity to electronically activate an alarm by typing keystrokes on a card reader keypad or interacting with a physical sensor on the reader, on the card, or the like.

  • Patent number: 11569989
    Abstract: A blockchain-based message transmission is provided. The system may include a plurality of silicon-based devices encapsulated in quantum cases. Each quantum case may include a quantum random number generator and a public key. The quantum random number generator may generate quantum-resilient random numbers to be used as private keys. The system may include a private network. The private network may include a subset of system's devices. A first device, included in the private network, may transmit a message to a second device included in the private network. A first quantum case that encapsulates the first device may intercept the message, generate a private key, encrypt the message using the private key, generate a data transaction block that includes message metadata, upload the data transaction block to a system blockchain and transmit the message to the recipient upon receipt of an approval from a majority of devices.

  • Patent number: 11539741
    Abstract: A method for filtering internet traffic is provided. The method may include using a private network for receiving a request message from an electronic device within the private network and identifying the type of the electronic device. When the electronic device is identified as a non-IoT type device, the method may include transmitting the request message through the non-IoT output channel and when the electronic device is identified as an IoT type device the method may include transmitting the request message through the IoT output channel. The method may further include using an IP address filter gateway for filtering incoming traffic to a web server, the filtering may include granting device access to the web server when the request message is received through the non-IoT output channel and denying access to the web server when the request message is received through the IoT output channel.

  • Patent number: 11316881
    Abstract: A method for analyzing communications on the internet to identify a probability of an occurrence of an anomalous event relating to a pre-determined entity is provided. The method may include searching on the internet, to identify communications comprising negative sentiment associated with the pre-determined entity. When identified, the method may include further searching for communications including data regarding a physical location and an intended action, both being associated with the pre-determined entity. When one or more instances of these communications are identified, the method may include activating smart sensors embedded within proximity to the identified physical location to capture non-identifiable data and transmit the captured data to a data analysis engine to identify and confirm a probability of the occurrence of the anomalous event.

  • Publication number: 20210224828
    Abstract: A method for identifying and mitigating a negative sentiment trend derived from sentiment analysis is provided. The analysis is based on aggregating a plurality of biometric information artifacts obtained from consumers in a consumer center. The method includes harvesting the artifacts from the plurality of consumers, identifying a biometric information trend. The biometric trend includes a verbal communications trend recorded from among the plurality of consumers. The verbal communications are captured using microphone(s). The method may also include periodically updating the harvesting to update the biometric information trend. The method may also include determining, over the pre-determined amount of time, that the biometric information trend is a negative biometric information trend. In response to the determining the method may trigger, based at least in part on a slope of the negative biometric information trend, a mitigating response to the negative biometric information trend.
