Patent number: 11917069Abstract: Secure user authentication using a OTP involve pre-storing an application on a first device for generating a valid OTP for the user responsive to receiving entry of a valid PIN, no part of the valid PIN is stored on the first device and pre-storing on a back-end server the valid PIN and a valid shared secret for the user. Upon receiving entry of a purported PIN, a purported shared secret is dynamically synthesized on the first device by the application based on the purported PIN and a purported OTP is generated on the first device. When entry of the purported OTP is received by the server in an attempt to log on the server from a second device, the server cryptographically calculates a window of OTPs, and logs on to the server from the second device is allowed if the calculated window of OTPs corresponds to the received OTP.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: CITICORP CREDIT SERVICES, INC.

Patent number: 11907904Abstract: Disclosed is a new intelligent forms automation solution for receiving a request or submission involving multiple types of non-native forms in a consistent manner. An engine locates a field in a non-native form, extracts a globally unique identifier (GUID) from the field and form data from data fields of the non-native form. The GUID is used by the engine to identify and retrieve a virtual copy of a native form identified. The engine fills the virtual copy of the native form with form data from the non-native form. Since the native form can have an associated workflow process, the form data from the non-native form is processed through the workflow. The native form and the non-native form can be created independently of one another. In some cases, a native form can be used to create a non-native form with a hidden field containing the GUID of the native form.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: OPEN TEXT CORPORATIONInventor: Mark Nicholas Jackson
