Patent number: 11270173Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may receive a request from a first device for an authentication token for access to a service, determine whether the first device is authorized to receive the authentication token for access to the service, and based on a determination that the first device is authorized to receive the authentication token for access to the service, generate a machine-readable code including the authentication token that a second device is to use for access to the service by the second device. The processor may also send the generated machine-readable code to the first device. The first device may display the machine-readable code and the second device may use a captured image of the machine-readable code to establish an authenticated session to the service on the second device.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Rachel Anne Brown Teller, Kristina K.

Patent number: 11269839Abstract: An authenticated modular map library may support partial state for a key-value store. A key-value store may be created that is organized as a tree data structure that divides items into pages. Features to access the key-value store may also be specified when the key-value store is created. A portion of the key-value store may be sent to a participant of a blockchain network, which may attempt to access an item to be found in a page in the key-value store according to the specified features. If the page is not included in the portion, the page may be requested from another participant, received, and verified before being used to complete the attempted access of the item.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Victor Cacciari Miraldo, Harold Carr, Maurice P. Herlihy, Alex Kogan, Mark Sean Moir

Patent number: 11271951Abstract: Upon receiving malware detection rules that are to be identified with respect to an input traffic stream, a sequence of state definitions are generated for each of the rules. The state definitions for each rule correspond to respective segments of the rule and specify conditions under which a state machine is to transition between search states corresponding to those segments, at least one of the segments corresponding to multiple characters within the input traffic stream. A state machine transitions between search states corresponding to one or more of the rules in accordance with contents of the input traffic stream and the conditions specified by the sequence of state definitions.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Redberry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Sandeep Khanna, Varadarajan Srinivasan, Madhavan Bakthavatchalam

Patent number: 11265167Abstract: A method is performed at a security device. The method includes establishing a network connection with a client system. After establishing the network connection, the security device receives a first packet from the client system. The first packet includes an identifier, a first counter value, and a first one-time password hash generated by the client system. Based on the identifier received, the security device retrieves from a trusted data store the seed and a second counter value. If the first counter value is larger than the second counter value, the security device generates a second one-time password hash based on the identifier, the first counter value, and the seed. In accordance with a determination that the first and second one-time password hashes match, the security device grants, to the client system, access to one or more network resources protected by the security device via the network connection.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Ted Schroeder, Gabor Lengyel

Patent number: 11263624Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method for automatically encoding data in an electronic communication. The method includes the steps of receiving an electronic communication including textual data, the textual data including account data inputted with a microphone and processed with a speech recognition system, in response to receiving the electronic communication, automatically processing the textual data, identifying the account data based on processing the textual data, generating at least one token, wherein the at least one token is unique to the account data, generating a modified electronic communication based at least partially on the textual data and the at least one token, the modified electronic communication comprising the at least one token, and communicating the modified electronic communication to a recipient system. A system and computer program product for automatically encoding data in an electronic communication are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Rhidian Desmond Thomas John, Bartlomiej Piotr Prokop, Sean Robert Maurice Mathe, Michael Palmer, Mary-Claire Graham, Fiachra Murray, Nicola McCartan

Patent number: 11257084Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to linking channel-specific systems with a user authentication hub. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a mobile device, an authentication request for a user account and may generate one or more authentication prompts. Subsequently, the computing platform may provide the one or more authentication prompts and may validate responses to the authentication prompts. Based on validating the responses to the authentication prompts, the computing platform may generate one or more security questions based on historical information associated with the user account. Subsequently, the computing platform may provide the one or more security questions and may validate one or more responses to the one or more security questions. Based on validating the one or more responses to the one or more security questions, the computing platform may provide user account information associated with the user account to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark A.
