Kount Submits New Patent to Increase Protection of Device Fingerprinting and Proxy Piercing Technologies
BOISE, Idaho, March 8 -- Kount Inc., a global leader in card-not-present (CNP) fraud control, has submitted another U.S. patent application for its device fingerprinting and proxy piercing technologies.
The newly published patent application is a second continuation application of a foundational patent (U.S. Patent No. 7,330,871) Kount received in 2008 for device fingerprinting and proxy piercing fraud control technologies.
