Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for validating electronic distribution transactions and reducing non-compliant electronic distribution transactions. A distribution application enables users to enter details relating to a retirement account distribution. A tax service integrated with the distribution application provides scenario-specific tax withholding information, and enforces relevant tax withholding rules. A user provides withholding information and the system ensures compliance by validating the transaction against the withholding rules. The system displays to the user error that need to be corrected, and a breakdown of the proceeds from the transaction. The tax service is implemented remotely from the distribution application so that changing tax regulations may be implemented into the tax service without impacting the distribution application. The tax service may utilize a customer's state of residence, age (and/or date of birth), and citizenship status such that state tax withholding information and validation, and requirement minimum distribution rules.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for generating data analytics and implementing payoff plans. Such systems and methods may use an institution computing system to retrieve, from an application programming interface (API), first data relating to an input of a first entity. The system retrieves second data relating to the input from one or more second APIs. After receiving the first data and the second data, the system identifies third data relating to a financing of the input of the first entity. Responsive to an update to the input, the system determines a payoff plan for the updated input by applying the first data, the second data, and the third data to one or more machine learning models. After the one or more machine learning models generates the payoff plan, the system causes implementation of the payoff plan automatically through a computing system of the first entity.

Abstract

Managing carbon emissions associated with unavailable services. In the context of financial services, a customer of a financial institution can attempt to access an online provided financial service, only to be denied access to the service due to an access issue with one or more computing systems. Such denials of service can lead to high levels of carbon emissions due to ensuing activity following the initial denial of service, such as repeated attempts to refresh a webpage or messaging customer service. By contextualizing the denial of service and predicting relative magnitudes of carbon emissions associated with different service access pathways for providing the denied service to the customer, overall carbon emissions can be reduced.

Abstract

Systems and techniques for secure communications and distribution of random values, provided via satellite communications, are described. These random values are generated from one or more ground-based entropy sources (e.g., quantum random number generators (QRNGs) at terrestrial locations), and optionally combined with values from satellite-based entropy sources (e.g., QRNGs at non-terrestrial locations). An example method includes: receiving a first random value generated by a first QRNG at a terrestrial location; receiving a second random value and a third random value via at least one satellite communication, each additional random value generated by other QRNGs; and generating a cryptographic key based on the first random value, the second random value, and the third random value. The cryptographic key may be produced by a key derivation function that combines the random values, and the cryptographic key may be used to establish a secure communication session.

Abstract

Systems and techniques for secure communications and distribution of random values, produced from at least two satellite entropy sources, are described. These random values may be provided by respective quantum random number generators (QRNGs) at separate satellites, and optionally combined with values from ground-based entropy sources (e.g., QRNGs at terrestrial locations). An example method includes: receiving a first random value and a second random value via at least one satellite communication, where the first random value is generated by a first QRNG at a first satellite, and the second random value is generated by a second QRNG at a second satellite; and generating a cryptographic key based on the first random value and the second random value. The cryptographic key may be produced by a key derivation function that combines the random values, and the cryptographic key may be used to establish a secure communication session.

Abstract

Disclosed is an approach in which news alerts are scanned in real-time or near real-time, relevant alerts identified through a topic extraction model, and associated actors identified through an entity extraction model. An entity resolution model may be applied to determine which actors are clients. The topic extraction, entity extraction, and/or entity resolution models may apply, for example, natural language processing models. The alert may be enriched by being packaged with client and transactional data to generate an enriched alert. A predictive model may be applied to the enriched alert to identify events with a high probability of law enforcement referral, and the enriched alert may be automatically transmitted to certain identified devices. The predictive model is trained using a combination of news alerts and data on clients and transactions, yielding enhanced predictions. The disclosed approach reveals relevant underlying associations and connections between entities and transactions not otherwise feasibly discoverable.

Abstract

A third verification factor is introduced into the two-factor authentication process, thereby establishing a robust three-factor authentication system. Specifically, a One-Time Password (OTP) that is typically generated for authentication purposes undergoes an additional layer of security by utilizing the OTP in a data authentication scheme of a user's chip-enabled credit, debit, banking, or similar card. An enhanced OTP generator sends the OTP to the card, which encrypts either the OTP or a value derived from the OTP (e.g., such as a hash of the OTP) with a cryptographic key associated with the card to create an encrypted authentication token. The encrypted authentication token is then provided to the authenticating party. Also described is an enhanced OTP generation device in the form of a passbook.

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for determining a security vulnerability of a computer system. An example method includes initializing a policy based on initial policy data. The example method further includes selecting an action based on the policy and executing, by agent circuitry, the action in the environment. The example method further includes, subsequent to executing the action in the environment, receiving an observation of the environment and determining an updated state from the set of states based on the observation. The example method further includes determining, by the policy, a reward based on the updated state and updating the policy based on the updated state.

Abstract

A financial institution computing system includes a network circuit exchanging information over a network, a customer database storing financial information, and a transaction circuit. The transaction circuit receives a transaction request associated with a user computing device. The transaction request specifies a financial account. The transaction circuit receives payment card location information indicative of a location of a payment card with respect to the user computing device. The payment card location information indicates that the payment card is within a threshold distance of the user computing device. The transaction circuit authenticates the transaction request using the payment card location information and by determining whether the payment card is associated with an authorized user of the financial account. The transaction circuit authorizes the transaction request based on whether the transaction request is authenticated and transmits a confirmation to a transaction terminal over the network via the network circuit.
