Patent number: 10613777Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to ensuring information security in data transfers by utilizing decoy data. A computing platform may receive, from a data source computing device, a source data collection for a secure physical-storage-media data transfer and may identify one or more transmission parameters associated with the secure physical-storage-media data transfer. Subsequently, the computing platform may generate decoy data and may produce a secure dataset for the secure physical-storage-media data transfer by combining the decoy data with the source data collection received from the data source computing device. Then, the computing platform may encrypt the secure dataset based on the one or more transmission parameters to produce an encrypted dataset for the secure physical-storage-media data transfer.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Manu Kurian, Sorin N.

Patent number: 10439901Abstract: Systems are provided for using a message spinning engine to create and/or manage messaging queues in a distributed network using virtualized servers. An abstraction layer formed by virtualized servers may enable the message spinning engine to seamlessly transition messaging queues while minimizing the likelihood of exceeding the parameters of existing service level agreements. The message spinning engine may include a service mapping module to maintain mappings between source business applications and virtualized servers, a product bridge to implement message encapsulation for communication between different messaging queue products, and a messaging queue monitoring console to analyze performance and capacity of physical services and messaging services and accordingly adjust levels of service for source business applications.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Manu Kurian, Sorin N.

Patent number: 10404675Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing elastic authentication based on a continuum of elastic authentication credentials. In particular, the invention provides a secure platform for authorization of a user activity at least partly based on validation of the continuum of elastic authentication credentials comprising cumulative tiered elastic authentication tokens captured during an extended time period prior to initiation of a user activity. The invention provides a novel method for capturing multiple elastic authentication tokens, for example, arbitrarily during an extended time period preceding a user activity, and validating the cumulative elastic authentication tokens at a time during or after initiation of the user activity.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Manu Jacob Kurian, Sorin N.

Patent number: 10326588Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to ensuring information security in data transfers by dividing and encrypting data blocks. A computing platform may receive, from a data source computing device, a source data collection for a secure physical-storage-media data transfer and may identify one or more transmission parameters associated with the secure physical-storage-media data transfer. Subsequently, the computing platform may divide the source data collection into two or more data blocks and may separately encrypt the two or more data blocks based on the one or more transmission parameters to produce two or more encrypted data blocks for the secure physical-storage-media data transfer. Then, the computing platform may store the two or more encrypted data blocks on two or more physical media, and each encrypted data block of the two or more encrypted data blocks may be stored on a different physical medium of the two or more physical media.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Manu Kurian, Sorin N.

Patent number: 10270840Abstract: A technology/operating system-agnostic and protocol-agnostic service delivery system that includes a unified means data movement/transfer. By unifying the delivery of such services the need to deploy numerous different technology/OS-specific and/or protocol-specific applications/services conventionally used to provide such services is obviated. The unified nature of the system, not only provides for comprehensive delivery of services, such as data movement amongst all the servers in the enterprise's network but also provides for unified management of the services delivered, such as governance control over the services, unified tracking of services delivered, unified provisioning of updates/revisions to modules, and auditing processes for services delivered.Type: GrantFiled: January 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Sorin N.

Patent number: 9992163Abstract: A multi-tier platform provides security at a perimeter of a computer system, where an intermediate layer interacts between a web layer and an application layer. A data request that is associated with a data set is received at the web layer and passed to the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer determines the authoritative source for the data set and whether the data set has a static or dynamic value. If the value is static, the intermediate layer accesses the value stored at the intermediate layer. However, if the value is dynamic, the intermediate layer queries the source registered to the data set, obtains the value from the authoritative source, and returns the dynamic value via the web layer, where the registered source may be internal or external to the computer system. Consequently, the intermediate layer may function as an aggregate layer that supports both database and messaging services.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Sorin N. Cismas, Manu Kurian

Patent number: 9934475Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for managing enterprise data movement using a heuristic data movement detection engine are presented. In some embodiments, a computer system may receive one or more data packets associated with a movement of enterprise data intercepted by a filtering engine. Subsequently, the computer system may evaluate the one or more data packets associated with the movement of enterprise data intercepted by the filtering engine based on at least one predefined data movement pattern. Then, the computer system may detect at least one variation from the at least one predefined data movement pattern based on the evaluating of the one or more data packets associated with the movement of enterprise data intercepted by the filtering engine. Thereafter, the computer system may send at least one alert message based on the detecting of the at least one variation from the at least one predefined data movement pattern.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Sorin N.
