  • Patent number: 11777996
    Abstract: A physical access control system enables acceptable portal entry codes upon receiving each physical access request by operating on the elapsed time from a previous physical access request to generate a temporal credential. The controller receives a plurality of physical access requests from a plurality of mobile application devices. Upon authenticating the first access request, the controller eliminates repetition from the space of acceptable successor requests from each mobile application device. Monotonic nonces advance the range of temporal code matches. Entry code generation is decentralized to distributed application devices and is inherently unknowable until a successor access request is initiated by the same application device.

  • Patent number: 11775677
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for securing sensitive data for transaction requests using tokenization and encryption. A secure transfer system secures sensitive information of transaction requests. The secure transfer system may receive a transaction request file and generate a modified transaction request file by tokenizing values in the received file. For each transaction request in the file, the system may store a representation of the untokenized values in a datastore in conjunction with an identifier of the transaction request. This identifier may be generated from the tokenized values. The secure transfer system may use the identifier to query the datastore for the representation of the untokenized values. The system may decrypt encrypted values in the representation to generate a transaction request file of detokenized values, which may be provided to an automated clearing house to fulfill the transaction requests.

    Abstract: A method including receiving, by a server computer, a request message from a token requestor computer on behalf of a user device. The request message comprising a first current token tracking value and a first function index value. The server computer can determine a second function index value. The server computer can then compare the first function index value to the second function index value. If the first function index value and the second function index value match, the server computer can determine a function based on the first function index value and a stored function table associated with the user device. The server computer can then determine a second current token tracking value based on the function, then compare the first current token tracking value to the second current token tracking value. The server computer can generate a response message in response to the comparing.

  • Patent number: 11736931
    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for provisioning and activating electronic subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) for mobile wireless devices. An eSIM is reserved during a sales order process and later activated during device activation after receipt by a user. An option for eSIM installation in place of (or in addition to) physical SIM installation is provided when purchasing the mobile wireless device. The reserved eSIM can replace a previous SIM/eSIM or be a new eSIM. During device activation, installation and activation of the eSIM occurs. Activation of the eSIM can occur before or after deactivation of a transferred SIM/eSIM. The mobile wireless device accounts for propagation delay of eSIM activation through MNO servers by disabling and re-enabling the eSIM until initial attachment to an MNO cellular wireless network succeeds or a maximum number of retry attempts is reached.

The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.

  • Patent number: 11588813
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable medium use external databases for biometric authentication. A server receives a request for authentication of a user from a requestor. A notification is sent to a user device associated with the user from the server. A biometric image is received within the server in response to the notification. A biometric ID of the user is sent from the server to an external database for identifying a biometric template stored with the external database. An authentication result indicative of a match between the biometric image and the biometric template is determined and the authentication result is sent to the requestor. The external databases are owned by a third party, and the biometric template of the user was previously generated and stored within the external database in association with the biometric ID.

  • Patent number: 11568257
    Abstract: Method and system for training a neural network. The neural network is split into first and second portions. A k-layer first portion is sent to a client training/inference engine and the second portion is retained by a server training/inference engine. At the splitting point, the kth layer is a one-way function in output computation has a number of nodes that are less than any other layer of the first portion. The client training/inference engine trains the first portion with input data in a set of training data. The server training/inference engine receives a batch of outputs from the client training and applies them to the second portion to train the entire neural network.

  • Patent number: 11544409
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a sensitive data management system is configured to remove sensitive data after a period of non-use. Credentials used to access remote systems and/or third-party systems are stored with metadata that is updated with each use of the credentials. After a period of non-use, determined based on credential metadata, the credentials are deleted. Personal data retrieved to process a consumer request is stored with metadata that is updated with each use of the personal data. After a period of non-use, determined based on personal data metadata, the personal data is deleted. The personal data is also deleted if the system determines that the process or system that caused the personal data to be retrieved is no longer in use. An encrypted version of personal data may be stored for later use in verifying proper consumer request fulfillment.

  • Patent number: 11537737
    Abstract: Methods and systems of data de-tokenization are described herein to provide solutions to utilizing tokenized data files. A de-tokenization service controller may extract instances of tokenized data by determining a schema associated with a tokenized file, wherein the schema identifies which fields contain tokenized data. A decryption system may decrypt the tokens and send decrypted sensitive values to the de-tokenization service controller. The de-tokenization service controller may then generate a de-tokenized data file comprising a plurality of records corresponding to the plurality of original tokenized records, using the decrypted sensitive values in place of the instances of tokenized data. In some embodiments, the methods may further comprise generating a validated file by adding one or more fields indicating the results of validation based on a set of validation rules.
