    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, a user device may block all the phone numbers used by an enterprise. When an enterprise wants to call the user, the enterprise may notify the user device through a separate secure channel that an enterprise phone number is in the process of making a phone call to the user device. The secure channel may include an authentication server that may request the user device to unblock the enterprise phone number. An incoming phone call from the enterprise phone number therefore can be trusted. After the phone call is terminated, the user device may again block the enterprise phone number. An attacker may not have access to the authentication server and a phone call from the attacker with a spoofed enterprise phone number (now blocked) may be dropped by the user device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods including software processes executed by a server that detect audio-based synthetic speech (“deepfakes”) in a call conversation. The server applies an NLP engine to transcribe call audio and analyze the text for anomalous patterns to detect synthetic speech. Additionally or alternatively, the server executes a voice “liveness” detection system for detecting machine speech, such as synthetic speech or replayed speech. The system performs phrase repetition detection, background change detection, and passive voice liveness detection in call audio signals to detect liveness of a speech utterance. An automated model update module allows the liveness detection model to adapt to new types of presentation attacks, based on the human provided feedback.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an authentication server for authentication leveraging multiple audio channels. The server receives an authentication request regarding a user upon the user interacting with a first electronic device. The server requests the first device to transmit a first audio file of an audio sample to the server. The audio sample may be the user's audio command or a machine-generated audio signal. The server requests a second electronic device to transmit a second audio file that is the recording of the same audio sample to the server. The second electronic device is a trusted device in proximity of the first device and executes an authentication function to enable the recording and transmitting of the audio sample. The server determines a similarity score between the first audio file and the second audio file and authenticates the user based on the similarity score.

    Abstract: The invention may verify calls to a telephone device by activating call forwarding to redirect calls for the telephone device to a prescribed destination; receiving a message from a server verifying the call; deactivating call forwarding to receive the call; and reactivating call forwarding when the call is concluded. In another embodiment, the invention may, in response to a telephone device initiating a call to a second telephone device installed with a particular application or software, transmit a message to a server causing it to instruct the second telephone device to deactivate call forwarding. In yet another embodiment, the invention may cause a server to receive a message from a prescribed location indicating that a call was received via call forwarding, and in response to the message, transmit an instruction to the intended recipient to deactivate the call forwarding if the call is verified as legitimate.

    Abstract: A method of obtaining and automatically providing secure authentication information includes registering a client device over a data line, storing information and a changeable value for authentication in subsequent telephone-only transactions. In the subsequent transactions, a telephone call placed from the client device to an interactive voice response server is intercepted and modified to include dialing of a delay and at least a passcode, the passcode being based on the unique information and the changeable value, where the changeable value is updated for every call session. The interactive voice response server forwards the passcode and a client device identifier to an authentication function, which compares the received passcode to plural passcodes generated based on information and iterations of a value stored in correspondence with the client device identifier. Authentication is confirmed when a generated passcode matches the passcode from the client device.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for automatically authenticating telephone calls to an enterprise call center. The system disclosed herein builds on the trust of a data channel for the telephony channel. Certain types of authentication information can be received through the telephony channel, as well. But the mobile application associated with the call center system may provide additional or alternative forms of data through the data channel. The system may send requests to a mobile application of a device to provide information that can reliably be assumed to be coming from that particular device, such as a state of the device and/or a user's response to push notifications. In some cases, the authentication processes may be based on quantity and quality of matches between certain metadata or attributes expected to be received from a given device as compared to the metadata or attributes received.
