  • Patent number: 11271931
    Abstract: Techniques for securely generating and using a “fingerprint” for authentication. A server computer receives a first data set from a user device (including a first fuzzy hash of first user data on the user device). The server computer generates a first fingerprint value based on the first data set. The server computer detects an event corresponding to a user in association with the user device. The server computer identifies a baseline fingerprint value (generated based on a baseline fuzzy hash of user data on the user device). The server computer compares the first fingerprint value to the baseline fingerprint value to generate a similarity score. The server computer may determine that the similarity score exceeds a threshold value but does not represent an exact match, and, based on the similarity score, authenticate the user and update the baseline fingerprint value based on the first fingerprint value.

  • Patent number: 11106476
    Abstract: A helper SDK embedded in a native application performs local operations on behalf of a web application affiliated with the helper SDK. The helper SDK may perform security functions such as fingerprint or face biometric verifications as well as access device-specific hardware such as a camera or secure memory. The web application may use an 0Auth technique for access and refresh tokens. In a transaction system, when a user is confirmed via the security function, order details are passed to the web application with a refresh token and ciphertext confirmation data is returned to the native application for completion of the transaction.
