  • Patent number: 11824992
    Abstract: Technologies are shown for secure token refresh where a client receives a first access token from an authentication service, generates an asymmetric key pair, stores the first access token in association with a private key, and sends a public key to the authentication service. The service stores the public key in association with the first access token. The client sends a refresh token request to the service with the first access token. The service responds with a verification request with proof data. The client signs the proof data with the private key and sends the signed proof data to the service. The service verifies the signed proof data using the public key associated with the first access token, creates a second access token that is stored in association with the public key, and sends the second access token to the client, which stores it in association with the private key.

  • Patent number: 11818140
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for targeted authentication queries based on detected user actions. A user may perform various actions during a day, including online, electronic, or digital actions, such as social networking, messaging, and media consumption, as well as real-life actions, such as exercise, travel, and purchases. The actions may be used to determine a user history for the user by a service provider. When the user wishes to login to an account or otherwise authenticate the identity of the user, the user may provide login or authentication credentials. The credentials may be used to look up the user history and cause the service provider to generate an authentication—query for the user based on events associated with the user in the user history. The query may be utilized to further authenticate the user by requiring the user to respond with the event associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 11790077
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the secure storage of security questions through an immutable log, such as a blockchain. The security questions may be stored in a centralized location, accessible from an application or browser tab running on the user's device. When a security question is required, such as to perform a password reset on a website, the website may interact with the application or browser tab, which retrieves the question(s) from the blockchain. The user may enter their answers to the question(s), which may be hashed by the application or tab. The hashed answers may be entered into the original requesting website, which may verify with the blockchain that the correct answers have been provided. Thus, the requesting website sees neither the questions nor the answers. Additional security features may include logging requests for questions, so that a user can determine if a security question may have been compromised.

  • Patent number: 11778091
    Abstract: There is a growing problem in correctional facility telecommunications systems in which parties on a voice call may connect inmate callers with restricted parties. Prison communication systems monitor calls to prevent such activity, but in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) environments such systems may fail to detect this activity. The present disclosure provides details of a system and method for using SIP messages common in VoIP environments to detect illicit activity initiated by a party on a voice call within a controlled environment. Scenarios are detected in which a called party connects an inmate caller to a restricted party via three-way call conferencing, call forwarding, or other call features. Corrective actions are then taken when such activity is detected, such as call blocking or alerting officials illicit activity is occurring.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for enhancing standard authentication systems to include risk-based decisions. Risk-based decisions can be selectively implemented within existing authentication systems to strategically modify and supplement security if an unacceptable risk is detected. Embodiments capture information pertaining to a user and user device. Information is stored to create a profile for the user and user device. A comparison between the stored information and live data can be performed within authentication systems to optimize security. If the results of the comparison demonstrate the presence of an acceptable risk, then the need for subsequent authentication can be reduced or eliminated, which improves a user experience.

  • Patent number: 11698782
    Abstract: Techniques for receiving operational preferences for operating network devices, and determining software updates for the network devices based on the operational preferences. A recommendation system may determine a group of network devices in a device network based on the network devices in the group performing a common functional role or have common attributes. The recommendation engine may further receive the operational preferences for the group of network devices from a user associated with the device network. These operational preferences may be continuously, or periodically, evaluated against actual operating conditions of the group of network devices to determine whether a risk metric associated with the actual operation conditions violates an operational preference. In some instances, the recommendation system may provide the user with access to a recommendation to run updated software that is more optimized for the network device and that satisfies the operational preferences of the user.

  • Patent number: 11699153
    Abstract: A computerized system conducts customer identification processing for customers who remotely open accounts with personal identification information that cannot be verified through available data sources. The system receives a portion of identity data in response to a request for the customer to provide the portion of identity data from a customer identification document during a financial transaction. The system updates an identity profile of the customer by combining the portion of identity data with different portions of previously received identity data that were previously received from different merchants during transactions between the customer and the different merchants. Based on comparing the identity profile to unverified identity data of the customer, the system determines whether to maintain or terminate the account.
