NETWORK ARCHITECTURES UTILIZING CELLULAR NETWORK HOSTED ACCESS CONTROLLING SCHEMAS AND COMPUTING PLATFORMS CONFIGURED TO FACILITATE INTERNET ACTIVITIES BASED ON EXPECTATION DATA RECORDS FOR ACCESS CONTROL, AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF
20230217250 · 2023-07-06 ·

In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to an exemplary system, including: an access controlling platform, executing software instructions that instruct to generate an expectation data record as an access control mechanism to access an access-restricted digital resource, the expectation data record including: access code and identity linked to a computing device; where the access code is associated with the access-restricted digital resource; receive a mobile originating communication having data that includes a particular access code and a particular identity; perform a confirmation of the expectation data record with the mobile originating communication; instruct a cellular communications network to perform, based on at least one part of the data, at least one action with the cellular network hosted access controlling schema to generate a session record associated with the particular identity; and instruct to unlock the access-restricted digital resource for the accessing via the computing device.

CALL GRAPHS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK ACTIVITY DETECTION
20230216968 · 2023-07-06 ·

A processing system may maintain a communication graph that includes nodes representing a plurality of phone numbers including a first phone number and edges between the nodes representing a plurality of communications between the plurality of phone numbers and may generate at least one vector via a graph embedding process applied to the communication graph, the at least one vector representing features of at least a portion of the communication graph. The processing system may then apply the at least one vector to a prediction model that is implemented by the processing system and that is configured to predict whether the first phone number is associated with a type of network activity associated with a telecommunication network and may implement a remedial action in response to an output of the prediction model indicating that the first phone number is associated with the type of network activity.

RELATIONSHIP GRAPHS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK FRAUD DETECTION

A processing system may maintain a relationship graph that includes nodes and edges representing phone numbers and device identifiers having associations with the phone numbers. The processing system may obtain an identification of a first phone number or a first device identifier for a fraud evaluation and extract features from the relationship graph associated with at least one of the first phone number or the first device identifier. The plurality of features may include one or more device identifiers associated with the first phone number, or one or more phone numbers associated with the first device identifier. The processing system may then apply the features to a prediction model that is implemented by the processing system and that is configured to output a fraud risk value of the first phone number or the first device identifier and implement at least one remedial action in response to the fraud risk value.
