  • Patent number: 11847640
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer software are provided for authorizing an EMV transaction between a user device and a point of sale terminal, particularly, but not exclusively, in situations where a secure element is not made available for the deployment of a payment application on the user device. The payment application is instead deployed to a processing environment that is outside of any secure element on the user device. The payment application is associated with a certificate and a corresponding hash. The hash is adapted to be generated on the basis of an application expiration date parameter, which is adapted to comprise data indicative of an expiration date of day level granularity associated with the certificate. During processing of the EMV transaction, the point-of-sale terminal verifies the hash, thereby establishing the authenticity of the application expiration date, and hence the validity of the certificate.

  • Patent number: 11803840
    Abstract: Method and system for verifying authenticity of specific personal data responsive to a unique wallet address on a public ledger of an unregulated platform. The wallet contains one or more non-transferable NFTs, each locked to the wallet and related to specific personal data. The non-transferable NFT was minted from a regulated platform to which there is a record in the public ledger. Supplying the unique address of the wallet to a service supplier affects a log-in of a client to the service supplier, whereafter message interactions over a network between the service supplier and the unregulated platform permits searching for a relevant non-transferable NFTs stored in the wallet and related to the specific personal data. Return of any relevant non-transferable NFT related to the personal data thus verifies authenticity of the specific personal data by association with a regulated platform.

  • Patent number: 11783341
    Abstract: An identity theft mitigation system. The system comprises a mobile communication device transfer data store, a non-transitory memory, a processor, and an application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor the application monitors transfers of mobile communication device credentials between different mobile communication devices and stores records of the transfers of mobile communication device credentials in the mobile communication device transfer data store. The application further identifies when a mobile communication device is involved in a number of credential transfers that is above a predefined threshold during a period of time based on searching the mobile communication device transfer data store for records of transfers the mobile communication device was involved in, and takes action based on the number of credential transfers in which the mobile communication device is involved exceeding the predefined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11710119
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for providing, along with a token, a token assurance level and data used to generate the token assurance level. At the time a token is issued, one or more Identification and Verification (ID&V) methods may be performed to ensure that the token is replacing a PAN that was legitimately used by a token requestor. A token assurance level may be assigned to a given token in light of the type of ID&V that is performed and the entity performing the ID&V. Different ID&Vs may result in different token assurance levels. An issuer may wish to know the level of assurance and the data used in generating the level of assurance associated with a token prior to authorizing a payment transaction that uses the token.

  • Patent number: 11694199
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer software are provided for authorizing an EMV transaction between a user device and a point of sale terminal, particularly, but not exclusively, in situations where a secure element is not made available for the deployment of a payment application on the user device. The payment application is instead deployed to a processing environment that is outside of any secure element on the user device. An ICC Master Key corresponding to the payment application is held by a trusted authority, such as the issuing bank. The trusted authority is adapted generate time-limited session keys on the basis of the ICC Master Key and distribute session keys to the payment application. Receipt of a session key by the payment application enables the payment application to conduct an EMV payment transaction. The session key is used to authorize a single EMV payment transaction.

  • Patent number: 11657458
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize third party data for customized output generation. A computing platform may receive encrypted data corresponding to a travel history. The computing platform may decrypt a portion of the encrypted data, resulting in first decrypted travel history data. The computing platform may direct a user device to display the first decrypted travel history data, along with a first option to continue decrypting a subsequent portion of the encrypted data and a second option to delete the first decrypted travel history data. After receiving a selection of the first option, the computing platform may decrypt the subsequent portion of the encrypted data. After determining that the encrypted data is fully decrypted, the computing platform may process the decrypted data to generate a customized product output, and may direct the user device to display the customized product output.
