Patent number: 12267675Abstract: In certain aspects, methods include, responsive to receiving verification that credentials associated with an organization device (OD) is authenticated, requesting the OD to create a token comprising a private and public key. The method includes receiving, subsequent to the OD initiating creation of the token, the public key from the OD. The method includes associating the public key with an UPN of the OD, and includes requesting the organization credentials from a secondary device (SD), responsive to detecting a request therefrom. The method includes requesting, responsive to authentication of the organization credentials, a challenge response from the SD. The method includes receiving the challenge response from the SD, which signed the challenge response with the private key that was transferred via the OD. The method includes determining, with the public key, whether the challenge response is valid, and includes validating enrollment of the SD when the challenge response is validated.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: JAMF Software, LLCInventor: Matthew Vlasach

Patent number: 12267327Abstract: An authentication system includes an authentication module maintaining a store of credentials for a set of users. In response to an identity specified by credentials provided from a requestor address not being found in the store of credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication failure response. In response to the provided credentials matching selected credentials, the authentication module transmits an authentication success response. The authentication system includes an analyzer module configured to determine a number of identity-not-found failures corresponding to a first address, identify a triggering event in response to the number exceeding a predetermined threshold, and, in response to the triggering event, add the first address to a block list.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: CHARLES SCHWAB & CO., INC.Inventors: Bradley Scott Will, Michael John Serafino

Patent number: 12267318Abstract: A method for securing operations is described. In this method a user requests that a service provider device perform an operation, the service provider device transmitting to a certification device a request to validate the requested operation while indicating a key associated with the user. The certification device identifies the user associated with the key and transmits a dynamic code request to the user. A device that generates dynamic codes assigned to the user generates a first version of the dynamic code and transmits it to the certification device, which compares it with a second version of the code in order to decide whether it would or would not be appropriate to inform the service provider device that the requested operation has been validated.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: ORANGEInventor: Ghislain Moncomble

Patent number: 12267768Abstract: A terminal device may, in a case where a first type of related information including a public key is obtained due to a first type of communication device outputting the first type of related information, send first connection information to the first type of communication device. The first type of communication device may be capable of executing a wireless communication complying with a predetermined rule of Wi-Fi scheme. The terminal device may, in a case where a second type of related information different from the first type of related information is obtained due to a second type of communication device outputting the second type of related information, send second connection information to the second type of communication device. The second type of communication device may be incapable of executing a wireless communication complying with the predetermined rule.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Ryoya Tsuji

Patent number: 12261867Abstract: Provided are a method and system for estimating a time of occurrence of a security event. The method includes: transmitting an actual time to a gateway of a vehicle; obtaining, from the gateway, time history data storing an actual time flag data element; obtaining, from the gateway, logging data prepared during security event detection; and estimating a time of occurrence of a security event, based on the logging data and the time history data, wherein the time history data and the logging data are prepared based on a vehicle reference time including a timestamp value and reset counter value of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: FESCARO Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seok Min Hong, Hyun Jung Lee

Patent number: 12261966Abstract: An automated server-based scheme allows a hosted service such as an individual computer system, computer application, or network service, to infer root certificate authorities present in client trust stores. Presenting a random selection of one or more digital certificates to a given client seeking a favorite icon URL, in response to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection request from the client, allows the service operator's trained machine learning system to define a customized set of potentially-trusted root certificate authorities based on learned successes and failures of connections with the given client, as well as other parties. The hosted service operator may employ a certificate manager and/or client-specific rules for presenting the certificates.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Marcel Andrew Levy
