Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus may encrypt data using an encryption key and securely store the encrypted data on a quantum medium so that the data is not accessed without authorization. The encrypted data may be stored on a quantum medium in the form of quantum bits that are encoded as quantum-entangled particles having correlated quantum states. An authorized user at a second quantum computer may access the stored data and decrypt the data with a copy of the encryption key that may be obtained from the first quantum computer via quantum tunneling. An intrusion attempt by an unauthorized party to access the quantum encrypted data via the quantum medium may cause one or more echoes to be generated and passed into the quantum medium. The echoes may disturb the quantum-entangled particles and make the quantum encrypted data unintelligible to the unauthorized party so that the encrypted data cannot be accessed.

Abstract: A method for enhancing security of data, code, and/or network components by introducing a layer of integrity management that adapts to changing conditions within a network. The method may include use of a processor to perform intrusion analysis using an intrusion detection system and/or prevention system, behavioral analysis by accessing user logs to see if behavior is within a normal range, and/or geolocation analysis to see if the piece of data, section of code, and/or network component are within their usual surroundings. When there is a concern of a data breach, leak, and/or hack, the processor may initiate a response that detects other pieces of data, sections of code, and/or network components in proximity, initiates a self-destruct mechanism, triggers hardware to perform outside of operational specifications, and contains the spread of the data breach, leak, and/or hack through shutdown procedures, isolating affected systems, and/or alerting security personnel.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for disruption of retrospective decryption operations. A home server may receive an encrypted communication from a data packet and execute a predetermined response. Absence of the predetermined response may initiate a protocol that dynamically mutates the size and processing requirements for the data packet. A monitoring network associated with the home server may receive power and network usage data from network nodes deployed at a plurality of geographic locations. The monitoring network may detect shifts in power and network usage that exceed a predetermined threshold and match the shifts to the processing requirements of the mutated data packet. The monitoring network may activate automated responses including generating a geographic beacon, transmitting an alert, blocking network access to the beacon location, and/or blocking access to the home server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for disruption of retrospective decryption operations. A harvested file may include an embedded protocol initiated when the file is transferred. The protocol may involve increasing the size of the harvested file, decreasing processing speed to a level below a predetermined threshold, and increasing energy use to a level above a predetermined threshold. The protocol may initiate changes that result in a detectable pattern of energy use and network activity. A monitoring network associated with the home system may detect a pattern of energy use and network activity corresponding to the harvested file. The monitoring network may generate a beacon comprising a location associated with the detected energy use and network activity, transmit an alert including the location, and isolate a home server within a home system.

Abstract: A method for enhancing security of data by introducing a layer of data integrity management that adapts to changing conditions within a data network. The method may include using a processor located and operated by a first party to encrypt a data packet, embed an algorithm into the encrypted data packet, store the latter, and/or transfer the latter to a second party. The algorithm may validate at a predetermined frequency the encrypted data packet and/or determine its location in its environment. When the algorithm indicates an issue with the encrypted data packet, the latter may provide an alert message that includes the nature of the breach, a timestamp of when it was noticed, and/or an identification of the affected encrypted data packet. The latter may also gather information about its environment and provide it back to the processor, and initiate data lockdown and access restriction back at its origin.

Abstract: A cargo container system, comprising: a vehicle with a cargo compartment; a cargo container configured to fit within the cargo compartment; and, a weight balance adjustment mechanism, comprising at least one of a load sensor and a position sensor, configured to adjust the position of the cargo container within the cargo compartment using data received from the at least one of a load sensor and a position sensor

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards a transaction machine. The transaction machine may include a first transaction access point configured to provide a first set of transaction options and a second transaction access point configured to provide a second set of transaction options. An item cartridge may be shared between the first transaction access point and the second transaction access point. During a transaction, a routing mechanism may route an item from the item cartridge to an item dispenser of the first transaction access point or to an item dispenser of the second transaction access point.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for resilient document image production. During a document deposit transaction, such as a check deposit, a self-service device, such as an automated teller machine (ATM), may experience a fault. In some instances, an image of the document may have been scanned prior to experiencing the fault. The self-service device may retrieve one or more scanned images, for example, over a time window prior to the fault, such as 5 minutes, and allow access to the retrieved images. A processing entity may access the retrieved images, determine that one of the retrieved images is associated with the first document deposit transaction, and resolve a claim for the document deposit transaction.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing an open retirement account are presented. An open retirement account may comprise of one or more financial accounts, for example, a checking account, a savings account, a 401k, an individual retirement account (IRA), a roth IRA, a certificate of deposit (CD), or any other suitable financial account. Deposits may be made to one or more of the financial accounts where the deposits may have one of a pre-tax state or a post-tax state. The tax states for the deposits may be tracked. The open retirement account may be displayed to a user such that the pre-tax balance is displayed separate from the post-tax balance. In some embodiments, a user may request to withdraw funds from a pre-tax portion of the open retirement account, and the system may compute a tax liability for the withdrawal. The tax liability, including any charges and/or a tax rate for the withdrawal, may be displayed to the user.
