Patent number: 11824994Abstract: A device receives call information associated with a call from a first user device to a second user device, where the first user device is associated with a first network, and the second user device is associated with a second network separate from the first network. The call information includes a caller identification and is received via an originating network device of the first network. The device determines whether the caller identification is verified, and adds authentication information to the call information when the caller identification is verified. The device receives the call information and the authentication information from a terminating network device of the first network, and removes the authentication information from the call information. The device adds a cryptographic signature to the call information, and causes the call information and the cryptographic signature to be provided to the second network for routing to the second user device.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Lulia Ann Barakat, Jeffrey Haltom

Patent number: 11818274Abstract: A system for establishing a trusted path for secure communication between client devices and server devices, such as between an account holder and a financial institution, can provide the core security attributes of confidentiality (of the parties), integrity (of the information), anti-replay (protection against replay fraud) and/or anti-tampering (protection against unauthorized changes to information being exchanged and/or modules that generate and communicate such information). A messaging layer implementation in favor of a transport layer implementation can provide a trusted path. This infrastructure features secure cryptographic key storage, and implementation of a trusted path built using the cryptographic infrastructure. The trusted path protects against unauthorized information disclosure, modification, or replays. These services can effectively protect against Man-in-the-Middle, Man-in-the-Application, and other attacks.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: ACCERTIFY, INC.Inventor: Glenn S.

Patent number: 11803622Abstract: When personally identifiable information (PII) is to be stored or updated, a system first seeks consent from the user for the PII store or update. If the user grants consent, then the system stores the PII in the user's personal device or updates the PII stored in the user's personal device. The system then retrieves that PII and generates a token representing that PII. Even if the token were taken by a malicious user, it would not be possible for the malicious user to determine the user's actual PII from the token. In this manner, the security of the PII is improved over conventional systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICAInventors: Venkatesh Sarvottamrao Apsingekar, Sahil Vinod Motadoo, Christopher John Schille, James Francis Lavine

Patent number: 11797994Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for securing electronic devices, such as financial payment terminals, to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access to confidential information. In embodiments, this is achieved without having to rely on the availability of backup energy sources. In certain embodiments, tampering attempts are thwarted by using a virtually perfect PUF circuit and PUF-generated secret or private key within a payment terminal that does not require a battery backup system and, thus, eliminates the cost associated with common battery-backed security systems. In certain embodiments, during regular operation, sensors constantly monitor the to-be-protected electronic device for tampering attempts and physical attack to ensure the physical integrity.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert Michael Muchsel, Gregory Guez

Patent number: 11792299Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatuses and methods for multi-cast, multiple unicast, and unicast distribution of messages with time synchronized delivery are described. In some embodiments, the disclosed system and methods include a reference timekeeper providing a reference clock to one or more host computing devices. The one or more host computing devices host compute instances, and also contain respective isolated timing hardware outside the control of the compute instances. The isolated timing hardware of the one or more host computing devices then receive respective packets, and obtain the same time to deliver the respective packets. Each isolated timing hardware provides either the packet, or information to access the packet, to its respective destination compute instance subsequent to determining that the same specified time to deliver the packet has occurred. Thus, the respective packets are delivered near simultaneously to the one or more destination compute instances.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Said Bshara, Alan Michael Judge, Erez Izenberg, Julien Ridoux, Joshua Benjamin Levinson, Anthony Nicholas Liguori, Nafea Bshara

Patent number: 11792638Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for communicating at a cellular router between a first wireless communication module and a first subscriber identity module (SIM). The cellular router receives a first request from a first wireless communication module and encapsulates the first request in a first modified request. The cellular router then sends the first modified request to a first SIM card in a first communication apparatus and waits for a first modified reply. While waiting for the first modified reply the cellular router sends at least one halt message to the first wireless communication module after a first time threshold. After receiving the first modified reply, the cellular router decapsulates the first modified reply to retrieve a first reply and sends the first reply to the first wireless communication module where the first modified reply is a reply to the first modified request.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Pismo Labs Technology LimitedInventors: Uzair Ahmed Chughtai, Man Kit Kwan, Yu Yeung
