  • Patent number: 12256040
    Abstract: A method of obtaining and automatically providing secure authentication information includes registering a client device over a data line, storing information and a changeable value for authentication in subsequent telephone-only transactions. In the subsequent transactions, a telephone call placed from the client device to an interactive voice response server is intercepted and modified to include dialing of a delay and at least a passcode, the passcode being based on the unique information and the changeable value, where the changeable value is updated for every call session. The interactive voice response server forwards the passcode and a client device identifier to an authentication function, which compares the received passcode to plural passcodes generated based on information and iterations of a value stored in correspondence with the client device identifier. Authentication is confirmed when a generated passcode matches the passcode from the client device.

  • Patent number: 12212709
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for automatically authenticating telephone calls to an enterprise call center. The system disclosed herein builds on the trust of a data channel for the telephony channel. Certain types of authentication information can be received through the telephony channel, as well. But the mobile application associated with the call center system may provide additional or alternative forms of data through the data channel. The system may send requests to a mobile application of a device to provide information that can reliably be assumed to be coming from that particular device, such as a state of the device and/or a user's response to push notifications. In some cases, the authentication processes may be based on quantity and quality of matches between certain metadata or attributes expected to be received from a given device as compared to the metadata or attributes received.

  • Patent number: 12159633
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a voice biometrics system execute machine-learning architectures capable of passive, active, continuous, or static operations, or a combination thereof. Systems passively and/or continuously, in some cases in addition to actively and/or statically, enrolling speakers. The system may dynamically generate and update profiles corresponding to end-users who contact a call center. The system may determine a level of enrollment for the enrollee profiles that limits the types of functions that the user may access. The system may update the profiles as new contact events are received or based on certain temporal triggering conditions.

  • Publication number: 20240363099
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods including software processes executed by a server that detect audio-based synthetic speech (“deepfakes”) in a call conversation. The server applies an NLP engine to transcribe call audio and analyze the text for anomalous patterns to detect synthetic speech. Additionally or alternatively, the server executes a voice “liveness” detection system for detecting machine speech, such as synthetic speech or replayed speech. The system performs phrase repetition detection, background change detection, and passive voice liveness detection in call audio signals to detect liveness of a speech utterance. An automated model update module allows the liveness detection model to adapt to new types of presentation attacks, based on the human provided feedback.

  • Publication number: 20240064152
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240022662
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods including computing-processes, which may include layers of machine-learning architectures, for assessing risk for calls directed to call center systems using carrier signaling metadata. A computer evaluates carrier signaling metadata to perform various new risk-scoring techniques to determine riskiness of calls and authenticate calls. When determining a risk score for an incoming call is received at a call center system, the computer may obtain certain metadata values from inbound metadata, prior call metadata, or from third-party telecommunications services and executes processes for determining the risk score for the call. The risk score operations include several scoring components, including appliance print scoring, carrier detection scoring, ANI location detection scoring, location similarity scoring, and JIP-ANI location similarity scoring, among others.

  • Publication number: 20220392452
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods including computing-processes executing machine-learning architectures extract vectors representing disparate types of data and output predicted identities of users accessing computing services, without express identity assertions, and across multiple computing services, analyzing data from multiple modalities, for various user devices, and agnostic to architectures hosting the disparate computing service. The system invokes the identification operations of the machine-learning architecture, which extracts biometric embeddings from biometric data and context embeddings representing all or most of the types of metadata features analyzed by the system. The context embeddings help identify a subset of potentially matching identities of possible users, which limits the number of biometric-prints the system compares against an inbound biometric embedding for authentication.
