Validating Legitimacy Of A Social Security Number Or Other Identifier

View page
US Patent:
20120173473, Jul 5, 2012
Filed:
Jul 6, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/177157
Inventors:
Alessandro Acquisti - Pittsburgh PA, US
Ralph Gross - Pittsburgh PA, US
Ioanis Alexander Biternas Wischnienski - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G06N 5/02
US Classification:
706 52
Abstract:
Methods and systems for predicting statistically probable systematically assigned identifiers are disclosed, as are methods and systems for determining the likelihood that a systematically assigned identifier provided by a purported assignee of the identifier is legitimate. In one example, determining the likelihood of legitimacy includes determining the likelihood that the provided identifier is a valid identifier and determining the likelihood that the provided identifier was assigned to the purported assignee. To accomplish this validation, the present disclosure employs patterns of assignment discernable for systematically assigned identifiers in combination with statistical methods.

Communication Technique To Verify And Send Information Anonymously Among Many Parties

US Patent:
20030195857, Oct 16, 2003
Filed:
Apr 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/408593
Inventors:
Alessandro Acquisti - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Alessandro Acquisti - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G06F017/60
US Classification:
705/074000
Abstract:
A communication networking technique is presented that allows sending parties to send information to receiving parties through a third party, in such a way that said third party determines whether a sending party is “eligible” to send information to receiving parties and whether the information to be sent is “valid,” and the receiving parties can determine whether the sender has been deemed eligible and the information has been deemed valid, but no receiving party and no third party is able to associate a specific eligible sender to specific valid information. The information can be associated to several types of transactions: it can encapsulate payment information when the technique is used in financial transactions; it can encapsulate expressions of interest or vote when the technique is used in election and recommendation systems; it can encapsulate information that individuals want to share, when the technique is used in file-sharing systems.
