Patent number: 11416635Abstract: Various examples are directed to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing a pseudonymous browsing mode. A method includes receiving, by a processor of a computer, input from a user requesting a level of anonymity for a session on an application or website, where the level of anonymity is between open browsing and completely incognito browsing. The processor programs an avatar configured to provide the level of anonymity to an identity of the user and data generated by the user based on the received input. The processor uses the avatar to control an amount of data shared by the user with the application or website to provide the level of anonymity to an identity of the user and data generated by the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Darius A.

Patent number: 10965651Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance secure communications between computing systems. In one implementation, a private domain name system (DNS) receives a DNS lookup request from a computing system of a plurality of computing systems associated with a private communication group, and forwards the DNS lookup request to a public DNS. The private DNS further receives a public address associated with the DNS lookup request from the public DNS, translates the public address to a private address, and transfers the private address to the requesting computing system.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: COLORTOKENS, INC.Inventors: Anoop Kapoor, Ryan Farjadi, Pankaj Parekh, Ashish Trivedi, Satyam Tyagi, Harish Magganmane, Deepak Mohanty, Ravi Voleti

Patent number: 10652212Abstract: To obviate the possibility of a data packet requesting for a communication between a source computer and a destination computer being blocked either by a source firewall or a destination firewall or both, the source computer is configured to transmit the data packet to an intermediary sever, bypassing the source firewall and the destination firewall. The intermediary server is configured to analyze the data packet transmitted from the source computer and is further configured to acknowledge the need to establish a communication between the source computer and the destination computer. The intermediary server subsequently generates a notification notifying the destination computer to establish a communication with the source computer. The intermediary server transmits a notification to the destination computer and triggers the destination computer to respond to the notification and establish a communication session with the source computer.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: COLORTOKENS, INC.Inventors: Pankaj Parekh, Ashish Trivedi, Deepak Mohanty

Patent number: 10630657Abstract: The present disclosure envisages establishing a virtual overlay network between the source computer and the destination computer (in addition to a typical, unsecured, public computer network already connecting the source computer and the destination computer), and designating the source computer and destination computer to be identified on the virtual overlay network only by the corresponding source private IP address and destination private IP address. The present disclosure envisages an intermediary server for creating and subsequently managing the virtual overlay network. The intermediary server renders the virtual overlay network accessible only to the source computer and the destination computer to communicate with one another and to exchange data packets using the source private IP address and destination private address and the corresponding private ports, while ensuring that the virtual overlay network remains inaccessible to any other computer on the underlying public computer network.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: COLORTOKENS, INC.Inventors: Pankaj Parekh, Ashish Trivedi, Harish Magganmane, Ravi Voleti

Patent number: 10554633Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance secure communications between computing systems. In one implementation, a communication service identifies a communication request for a first application on a first computing system to transfer data to a second application on a second computing system. In response to the request, the communication service generates a packet, wherein the packet includes an encrypted portion for the data and private addressing associated with the first and second applications, and an unencrypted portion for group identifier information and public addressing information. Once the packet is generated, the packet is transferred to the second computing system.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: COLORTOKENS, INC.Inventors: Harish Magganmane, Ravi Voleti, Ashish Trivedi, Deepak Mohanty, Charles Kuta, Anoop Kapoor, Pankaj Parekh
