Using Secondary Blockchain Addresses To Prevent Malicious Transfers
Patent No. 12244715
Methods and systems are described herein for a transfer authorization system that may monitor for transfer requests for secondary cryptographic addresses maintained for one or more primary cryptographic addresses. When a transfer request is received, the transfer authorization system may determine that the transfer request is for a secondary cryptographic address. Based on that determination, the transfer authorization system may determine that the source cryptographic address of the request is authorized to receive control of cryptographic tokens from the secondary cryptographic address and that the request is associated with the source cryptographic address. The transfer authorization system may then transfer control of one or more cryptographic tokens from an associated primary cryptographic address to the secondary cryptographic address, and upon the successful transfer, may also transfer control of the one or more tokens to the requestor.

Patent No. 12245152
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods (SPs). In some aspects, an access point (AP) may transmit a packet, at the beginning of a restricted TWT SP, that signals all non-member wireless stations (STAs) to defer access to the wireless medium for at least a threshold duration. Upon receiving the packet, any non-member STAs that are associated with the AP may set their network allocation vectors (NAVs) according to the duration indicated by a duration field of the received packet. In some implementations, low-latency STAs that are members of the TWT SP may not set their NAVs according to the duration field of the received packet. Instead, the low-latency STAs may access the wireless medium before the NAVs associated with the non-member STAs expire.

Systems And Methods For Card Authentication
Patent No. 12243045
Disclosed embodiments may include a system for card authentication. The system may receive, via a user device, a voice request to activate a card associated with a customer account. The system may generate, using a first machine learning model (MLM), a voice fingerprint confidence score based on comparing a first voice in the voice request to a second voice in a stored audio file associated with a customer of the customer account. The system may generate, using a second MLM, a device authentication score based on comparing an address from the user device to a stored address of a known user device associated with the customer account. The system may determine whether the voice request is valid based at least in part on the voice fingerprint confidence score and the device authentication score. The system may activate the card based on the determination that the voice request is valid.

Systems And Methods For Dynamic Granular Access Permissions
Patent No. 12250224
An application for dynamic, granular access permissions can include a database interface, a user interface, a login process, an administrator, an event handler and an authorization process. The database interface can be an interface to an access control permissions database that stores roles, actions, or policies for users of the application. The login process can authenticate a user and determine a default set of access control permissions for that user when they are using the user interface. The administrator can provide access control permissions for a user by using the database interface. The event handler can dynamically modify access to functionality in the user interface based on an event. The authorization process can determine whether a request from the user interface is authorized before process the request. The authorization process can use access control permissions from the administrator and either a scope limited or a temporally limited access permission.
