  • Patent number: 12231550
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for quantum entanglement authentication (QEA). An example method includes generating, at a second computing device, a second number based on a subset of a second set of entangled quantum particles associated with the second computing device. Each entangled quantum particle in the second set of entangled quantum particles may be entangled with a respective entangled quantum particle in a second set of entangled quantum particles associated with a second computing device. The example method further includes transmitting the second number to a first computing device. In some instances, the example method may further include authenticating a session between the first computing device and the second computing device in an instance in which the second number corresponds, or is identical, to a first number.

  • Patent number: 12223544
    Abstract: A method for valuing one or more cash flow occurrences in an interest rate swap transaction. An example method includes estimating a mean interest rate for each tenor of one or more combinations of two or more tenors of an interest rate swap. The method may include determining a forward interest rate based on the mean interest rate of each tenor of the one or more combinations for the cash flow occurrences. The method may include determining an estimate value, a standard deviation of the estimate value, and a probability or outcome associated with the estimate value. The method may include determining an overall value of the interest rate swap based on one or more determinations of estimate value, standard deviation of the estimate value, and probability or outcome associated with the estimate value.

  • Publication number: 20250035676
    Abstract: Detecting a level of current in a conductor such as a power line can be accomplished using sensing devices that are coupled to the line. Such devices can have a clamshell or briefcase-style shape and close about the line. The line passes through a channel between the sides of the device. A quantum substance made of a material having a phonon decay sideband is arranged nearby the channel, and a light source and a scanning source work in tandem to cause the substance to emit light that can be analyzed to determine a magnitude of a magnetic field on the substance. By distributing such sensing devices about a grid or other electrical distribution network, current throughout the network can be collected and analyzed to ascertain the presence and location of interferences with the grid.

The method further includes generating an inquiry authentication credential based upon the static attribute and the dynamic attribute and includes querying a digital identity construct database storing one or more previously acquired attributes of the first user. The method includes obtaining a verified authentication credential based upon the previously acquired iterations of the static and dynamic attributes and includes authenticating the first user based upon a comparison between the inquiry authentication credential and the verified authentication credential.

  • Publication number: 20250030686
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for authenticating devices. An example method includes generating pairs of entangled photons by a first device. One photon of each entangled photon pair may be transmitted to a second device. The first device and the second device may attempt to measure respective photons of the entangled photon pair to obtain a bit of a bit sequence. The bits may be encoded in the polarizations of the entangled photon pairs and may correspond to a true random number due to the generation method used by the first device. The second device may provide authentication data based on the bit sequence to the first device. The first device may use its copy of the bit sequence and the authentication data to authenticate the second device.

The techniques include receiving a request to grant authorization to a second user. The request can include biometric data of the first user and second user. An authorization token can be generated based on the request, which can be transmitted to a second computing device of the second user. A second request can be received from a third computing device that includes the authorization token and third biometric data. The second request can be verified based on the authorization token, the third biometric data, and provenance data, and an indication that the grant of authorization to the second user is verified can be transmitted to the first, second, or third computing devices.
