Patent number: 11838284Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for implementing a Single-sign-On Domain-Agnostic Proof-of-Possession (SODA-POP) token (or access token) to solve generation of multiple POPs for authentication of multiple domains that may belong to a single mobile network operator (MNO). The access token may be implemented by a JSON Web Token (JWT) that includes a map of key-value pairs as confirmation claims. The key-value pairs may include multiple domains/sub-domains and their corresponding public keys. These key-value pairs may be registered and added in the confirmation claims to automatically authenticate each one of the domains to access a corresponding service provider. To register a new domain, the new domain redirects a request back to an already registered domain, which updates the access token and then redirects the request back to the new domain. After registration, the updated access token may be used to access services at all registered domains without further reauthentication.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Kendrick Burson

Patent number: 11652904Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for generating a unified user profile. For example, a system may store, on a client device, a token under a first domain name. The token may specify state data for a communication session between the client device and a first content publisher addressed by the first domain name. The communication session utilizes a stateless communication protocol. The system may then generate a redirection resource locator. The redirection resource locator may include an identifier for a web object belonging to a second content publisher addressed by a second domain name and the token. The system then stores, on the client device, the token under the second domain name by directing the client device to send a web object request generated based at least in part on the redirection resource locator to the second content publisher. The web object request may request the web object from the second content publisher and including the token.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventor: Victor Mendoza

Patent number: 11640605Abstract: A method, server and storage medium for verifying a transaction using a smart card are disclosed. A server receives a transaction request to perform a transaction with a user of the smart card. The transaction request includes identification information and encrypted data extracted from the smart card, and transaction information. The server determines a user account linked to the identification information. The server performs a first verification process to authenticate the smart card by verifying that the smart card possesses a correct decryption key corresponding to the identification information. The server performs a second verification process to authenticate the smart card by verifying that the encrypted data extracted from the smart card encodes stored data corresponding to the respective user account linked to the identification information. If the first and the second verification processes are successful, the server processes the transaction in accordance with the transaction information.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: TENCENT TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Kai Liu, Yaxuan Zhu, Runda Cai, Zhenyu Xu, Chenglin Liu

Patent number: 11630723Abstract: Transferring data between memories may include reading data associated with a memory transfer transaction from a first memory, determining whether a bypass indication associated with the memory transfer transaction is asserted, and transferring the data from the first memory to a second memory. The transferring may include bypassing the first-processing if the bypass indication is asserted. The transferring may further include bypassing second-processing the data if the bypass indication is asserted. Following bypassing the second-processing, the data may be stored in the second memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yanru Li, Dexter Tamio Chun

Patent number: 11615204Abstract: A method of validating the contents of an electronic file. The method comprises requesting an electronic file by an application executing on a computer system by providing a multi-segment filename, wherein the multi-segment filename comprises a unique delimiter between each of the segments of the multi-segment filename and one of the segments of the multi-segment filename is a hash of a content of the electronic file referenced by the multi-segment filename, receiving by the application the electronic file referenced by the multi-segment filename, determining a hash over the content of the electronic file by the application, comparing by the application the hash determined by the application to the hash of the content stored in the one of the segments of the multi-segment filename, and, based on the two hashes agreeing, opening by the application the contents of the electronic file for use.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: T-MOBILE INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Lyle W.

Patent number: 11599279Abstract: In an information processing system, a storage control server (storage control node) that has received a read request of data from a compute server (compute node) transmits the read request to a drive box. The drive box that has received the read request from the storage control server reads encrypted read target data corresponding to the read request from non-volatile storage media, decrypts the read target data with key data acquired at a predetermined timing, and then transmits the decrypted read target data to the compute server as a read request source.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Tatsuya Hirai, Masakuni Agetsuma, Yoshinori Ohira, Takahiro Yamamoto
