Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and systems of generating a platform-agnostic identification of an entity through rules-based computational modeling of entity relationships. For example, the platform-agnostic identification of an entity may be used to identify an acquirer entity across different data platforms, such as payment networks, that each assign respective acquirer identifiers to the acquirer entity. The computational modeling may generate a mapping between a first acquirer identifier assigned by a first payment network to the acquirer entity and a second acquirer identifier assigned by a second payment network to the acquirer entity. The mapping may be based on an anchor value that is associated with both the first acquirer identifier and the second acquirer identifier. The mapping may be validated by multi-validation rules and/or issuer-validation rules that reduce false positive results that may occur through computational modeling.

Abstract: Systems and methods for source address transparency in a communication network include a proxy server and an IP gateway in which the proxy server receives a traffic flow from an end-user device and determines a source address for the detected traffic flow; the proxy server further creates a virtual interface corresponding to the end-user device from which the traffic flow was received and uses the virtual interface for that end-user device to exchange data between the end-user device and a designated web server. The virtual interface sends the traffic flow to the designated web server using the source address that is the same as or a variant of the source address for the end-user device from which the traffic flow was received.
