Publication number: 20240064152Abstract: Embodiments include a computing device that executes software routines and/or one or more machine-learning architectures providing improved omni-channel authentication solutions. Embodiments include one or more computing devices that provide an authentication interface by which various communication channels may deposit contact or session data received via a first-channel session into a non-transitory storage medium of an authentication database for another channel to obtain and employ (e.g., verify users). This allows the customer to access an online data channel and enter the contact center through a telephony communication channel, but further allows the enterprise contact center systems to passively maintain access to various types of information about the user's identity captured from each contact channel, allowing the call center to request or capture authenticating information (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Pindrop Security, Inc.Inventors: MohammedAli MERCHANT, Payas GUPTA

Publication number: 20230284016Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for evaluating call metadata and certificates of inbound calls for authentication. The computer identifies a service provider indicated by the SPID and/or the ANI (or other identifier) of the metadata and identifies a service provider indicated by the SPID and/or ANI (or other identifier) of the certificate, then compares identities of the service providers and/or compares the data values associated with the service providers (e.g., SPIDs, ANIs). Based on this comparison, the computer determines whether the service provider that signed the certificate is first-party signer (e.g., carrier) for the ANI or a third-party signer that is signing certificates as the first-party signer for the ANI.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: PINDROP SECURITY, INC.Inventors: MohammedAli Merchant, Yitao Sun

Patent number: 9992558Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a way of routing messages using location routing numbers. More specifically, some embodiments can route calls on different legacy networks by using features of existing telecommunication policy and databases. For example, a location routing number can be registered in a number portability administration center database. The location routing number may be in a native number block of a facility carrier and a company registering the location routing number in the number portability administration center database may not be the facility carrier. The destination switch of the facility carrier can be programmed to accept traffic associated with the location routing number. As a result, components of the network can route the message for the company to a destination switch of the facility carrier.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Flowroute Inc.Inventors: Bayan W. Towfiq, MohammedAli Merchant

Patent number: 9871870Abstract: Certain aspects of the present methods and systems may focus on computer implemented methods and systems for managing pseudonymous communication sessions. Such a system may include a data store, including data records corresponding to a plurality of available data communication addresses (“DCAs”), and including a first DCA; a CPU; and memory. The memory may include instructions for causing the CPU to execute a method including: obtaining a pseudonymous communication session (“PCS”) initiation request including a second DCA; removing the first data communication address from said plurality of available data communication addresses and associating the first DCA the second DCA in the data store; providing the first DCA in response to said pseudonymous communication session initiation request; and, in the event of obtaining a data communication from a source DCA directed to the first DCA, creating a PCS between the source DCA and the second DCA.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: FLOWROUTE INC.Inventors: Sean Hsieh, Daniel Nordale, Dan Root, Bayan Towfiq, MohammedAli Merchant, William King, Casey MacPhee

Publication number: 20160127547Abstract: Various embodiments provide for message segmentation using location routing numbers. Some embodiments provide for a method for operating a telecommunications switch (e.g., an end-office telecommunications switch, a class five switch, a TDM switch, etc.). For example, a message can be directed to the telecommunications switch using a location routing number. The location routing number can be in a number block that is native to the telecommunications switch. In some embodiments, the telecommunications switch can be programmed with multiple local routing numbers. Once the message is received, the telecommunications switch can then identify the location routing number within the message (e.g., within a destination number field, a non-routing field, etc.). Using the location routing number, the message can then be segmented and/or routed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2015Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Bayan W. Towfiq, MohammedAli Merchant

Publication number: 20160127545Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a way of accessing databases and existing hardware with a gateway that can route calls on different legacy networks by using features of existing telecommunication policy and databases. Some embodiments utilize numbers in one or more of a carrier's native number block and an algorithm or database to switch a routing number and enter instead a desired phone number/routing location. Using these techniques, calls can be routed to underlying carriers (e.g., facilities carriers) without the need to own or lease traditional facilities to access the network. For example, in some embodiments, a carrier may map incoming numbers to a different number so that the components of the network route the call for that carrier but terminate the call to another carrier that provides traditional facilities on its behalf.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2015Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Bayan W.
