Patent number: 10275758Abstract: A method of conducting secure electronic credit payments to a payment acquirer using a credit payment unit, including a smart card, a portable card reader device and a mobile phone, and a payment server. The method is based on using a unique reader key in the card reader device to encrypt all the sensitive smart card information communicated to the payment server, and thus being able to use an unsecure mobile phone to communicate with the payment server. The payment server then completes the transaction with the payment acquirer over a secure line.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: IZETTLE MERCHANT SERVICES ABInventor: Stefan Lund

Patent number: 9805730Abstract: The proposed technology generally relates the field of data transmission, in particular it relates to decoding an encoded data signal received at an audio interface of a portable electronic device, wherein the encoded data signal is encoded with an encoding scheme having an adjustable encoder clock frequency. The proposed method comprises pre-processing the received encoded data signal; scanning the received encoded data signal for a known start sequence and when a known start sequence is successfully detected then calculating an actual frequency based on the detected start sequence; interpreting, a data block succeeding the start sequence using the assessed actual frequency; and assessing whether to request adjustment of the adjustable encoder clock frequency based on the scanning and/or the interpretation. The proposed technology relates to a method performed in a portable communications device well as a corresponding device and computer program.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: IZETTLE MERCHANT SERVICES ABInventor: Fredrik Munter

Patent number: 9251513Abstract: A method of conducting secure electronic payments to a payment acquirer using a credit card payment unit, comprising of a smart card, a portable card reader device, a mobile phone, a stand-alone PIN entry device and a payment server. The method is based on eliminating the unsecure keyboard in a mobile phone used for entering personal identification information, and instead use a separate secure PIN entry device which fulfills the EMV Level specification. Since all sensitive payment information, communicated to the payment server from the card reader and the PIN entry device, is encrypted using unique encryption keys an unsecure mobile phone may be used for relaying the communication between the card reader device and the PIN entry device to and from the payment server.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: iZettle Merchant Services ABInventors: Magnus Nilsson, Stefan Lund
